helpful when flying approaches or taxiing at unfamiliar airports. Avionics options include a takeoff and landing performance database, a flight data recorder, a second DME, dual ADFs, and Garmin’s GDL 69A datalink receiver for XM WX Satellite weather. Those flying overseas can order the Garmin GSR 56 satellite transceiver, which can pick up datalinked weather information over the Iridium network. Another option is electronic aircraft and operations manuals, which obviate the need for carrying paper documents. Garmin has been selling touchscreen controllers for some time, but the GTC 570 and the G5000 are among the first business jet applications. They will also be used in Cessna’s upcoming Citation Ten, Latitude and Longitude. The 570 (so named for its 5.7-inch diagonal screen size) doesn’t use mechanical pushbuttons. Instead, an infrared grid
hovers over the keypad complex. Press on a “key,” and the infrared field completes a circuit that activates the function you’ve selected. Although there’s no sensation of depressing a conventional pushbutton, the result is the same and Garmin paid special attention to the issue of touchscreen use in turbulence. The fear of making erroneous entries as fingers flail has been a concern, but the infrared technology won’t permit an entry if, say, you happen to hit two keys at once—or hit a key off deadcenter. This, the graphic icons labeling each key, and rubber strips mounted at the 570s’ bezels (to steady your hand while making entries), go a long way toward minimizing turbulence-induced entries. An audible “click” tone can also be used to provide confirmation of a dead-center entry; hit two keys at once and a “donk” tone reminds you that you’ve fat-fingered the keyboard.
THE G5000’S THREE SCREENS can be split to give a total of six screen views. In flight (top left), the pilot’s PFD shows TCAS data at the left portion of the screen; the MFD shows engine-, moving-map, and XM weather; and the co-pilot’s screen shows the default PFD view plus a zoomed-in moving map display. On the PFDs, the split view gives 40 percent of the screen over to such information as electronic charts (above left) and TAWS information (above right). The MFD (above center) can be configured to show systems synoptics— in this case, the fuel system.
