Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd.
(NASDAQ: GRMN), today announced the G3000H, an IFR-capable
integrated flight deck specifically designed for Part 27 turbine
helicopters. The forward-fit G3000H offers a number of features,
including WAAS/SBAS, ILS approach capability, VFR and IFR
helicopter charts and Connext® wireless integration. It’s also
equipped for ADS-B In/Out, offers visual approach guidance and an
HSI map. The G3000H touchscreen interface boasts superior in-flight
features and benefits that reduce pilot workload, providing this
class of helicopters with the best situational awareness tools
available on the market today.

“The G3000H blends a superior feature set and safety-minded
technology into a contemporary platform for the VFR/IFR turbine
helicopter market,” said Carl Wolf, vice president of aviation
marketing and sales. “With the G3000H, we’re excited to bring IFR
capabilities in an advanced integrated flight deck and further
expand our product offering so our partners have even more options
within this class of helicopters.”
Built with a flexible and scalable architecture that can be
tailored to a variety of helicopter designs, the G3000H combines
widescreen, high-resolution displays with touchscreen controls that
serve as the pilot interface to the integrated flight deck. The
landscape-oriented displays offer immediate access to critical
in-flight information in a consolidated, easy-to-read format. The
G3000H also features pilot-selectable split-screen capability that
allows for two or more separate pages to be displayed
simultaneously, so pilots can easily access valuable
decision-making information on a single screen.
The G3000H boasts additional features and optional capabilities,
including:
- Helicopter synthetic vision
technology (HSVT™) displays an “out-of-the-window” view of
surroundings on the PFD, which is particularly helpful during
nighttime operations or in degraded visibility environments (DVE).
HSVT seamlessly blends information related to the helicopter’s
position with topographic databases to create and display real-time
3D images. HSVT also incorporates visual and audible alerting of
potential ground hazards by displaying terrain, available obstacles
and powerlines that may pose a threat to the helicopter.
- Hover Display provides a
combination of location, heading and vector references to help
guide and orient pilots during hovering maneuvers.
- Connext wireless integration
enables a variety of capabilities, including the wireless transfer
of databases, flight plan and GPS waypoint information from the
Garmin Pilot™ app, as well as the sharing of traffic, weather, GPS
information, back-up attitude information, text messaging, flight
tracking and more with mobile devices in the cockpit.
- Telligence™ Voice Command aids
in pilot workload reduction by using automatic speech recognition
technology built within the audio system. Using intuitive
phraseology, Telligence accepts hundreds of voice commands at the
push of button on the cyclic. For example, pilots can simply state,
“tune destination tower,” to load the nearest tower frequency into
the standby comm position.
- Helicopter terrain awareness warning
system (HTAWS) provides graphical and audible alerts of
potential terrain and obstacle conflicts along the flight path of
the helicopter. Garmin HTAWS includes forward-looking terrain
avoidance (FLTA), which features five-color contouring and aural
advisories to help keep pilots aware of hazardous terrain and
obstacles. While descending, voice call-outs are also available in
100-foot intervals beginning at 500-feet. An additional 50-foot
call-out is available with an optional radar altimeter.
- Helicopter route charts,
including VFR and IFR route charts throughout eight major U.S.
metropolitan areas, which includes oil-drilling platforms in the
Gulf of Mexico, are accessible on the MFD.
- Reduced Protection (RP) mode
works in conjunction with Garmin HTAWS by minimizing nuisance
alerts during low altitude helicopter operations, while continuing
to provide protection from terrain and obstacles.
- WireAware™ wire strike avoidance
technology graphically overlays powerline information within the
U.S. as well as some locations in Canada and Mexico.
- HSI mapping displays an MFD-like
perspective map view in the primary field of view of the pilot on
the PFD to help pilots focus on instrumentation scan, enabling them
to better visualize terrain, traffic, weather and more as it
relates to their flight plan.
- Visual approach capability
automatically generates a three-degree vertical path from the
threshold of the runway down to pilot-selectable minimums.
- Terrain profile view displays a
vertical cross-section view of the active flight plan on the MFD,
so it’s easier to view terrain, obstacles and weather that may pose
a threat throughout an entire flight.
- ADS-B In/Out is available with
the G3000H and features patented TerminalTraffic™, which
minimizes “nuisance” alerts in the airport environment. Audible
alerts of potential flight path conflicts are also available.
TargetTrend™ relative motion technology provides pilots with
a faster, more intuitive way of judging traffic trajectories and is
ideal when identifying potential threats while flying in busy
traffic environments.
- Power assurance check calculates
and displays the information necessary to assure the engine can
produce the minimum power and torque required for flight.
- Hover performance displays hover
data, including IGE (in ground effect) and OGE (out of ground
effect) based on current conditions, while Cruise
performance automatically calculates VNE, minimum and maximum
airspeeds, range and endurance.
- Data monitoring automatically
stores critical flight and engine parameters on an SD card,
allowing the flight crew or maintenance personnel to easily analyze
and interpret trend data. The G3000H can also interface to
third-party HUMS systems.
Additional features and capabilities available with the G3000H
include: SiriusXM high-resolution animated weather radar imagery,
on-board weather radar, radar altimeter read-out, verbal ATC-like
TAS/TCAS spoken traffic alerts, European Visual Reporting Points
(VRP’s) and much more. The G3000H is also NVG-compatible and is
capable of displaying video input from compatible FLIR camera
sources.
Garmin is also pleased to announce that the G3000H will be
featured on the new Kopter SH09 helicopter, which will consist of
dual landscape-oriented displays and a single touchscreen
controller. The SH09 offers superior performance for hot and high
operations, as well as a low noise signature in an all new,
state-of-the-art helicopter design.
The G3000H is supported by Garmin’s award-winning aviation
product support team, which provides 24/7 worldwide technical and
warranty support. For additional information about the G3000H
