A year after announcing a move into the helicopter market with its G500H glass panels, Garmin International revealed the G1000H system at last month’s Heli-Expo show. Like the G500H, the G1000H features an attitude heading reference system (AHRS) redesigned for helicopter dynamics, including the ability to align while in motion, in-flight dynamic restarts and helicopter maneuvering. At the show, Bell Helicopter displayed its new 407GX with the G1000H system installed.
Screens are available in 10- or 12-inch sizes for the multifunction and primary flight display, while a 15-inch MFD is also available. The MFD and PFD are fully reversionary, and buyers can opt for single or dual AHRS. The G1000H also includes an integrated mode-S transponder and digital audio control system, and the system can display engine operating and system data. The transponder can interface with Garmin traffic information service transponders and ADS-B transceivers.
