Deutsche Aircraft is demonstrating the D328eco’s G5000 Prime flightdeck in a cockpit/cabin mock-up at the Paris Air Show.

Deutsche Aircraft’s D328eco is the first announced platform for the Garmin G5000 Prime flight deck. Tailored to transport-category aircraft (FAA Part 25 and EASA CS25), the system uses dual-core processor technology and represents what Garmin describes as its “third generation.” The system is already installed in the D328eco simulator, and pilots have reacted positively, noting improved situational awareness, reduced workload, and performance of the weather radar in particular.

The flight deck provides a large primary and secondary display unit for each pilot and represents a touch-centric approach, with all functions controllable by touch inputs. The traditional banks of circuit breakers and system warnings are all brought into the screen system with corresponding ergonomic benefits while negating the need for overhead panels.
