In mid-July, Bombardier made a flight-test Learjet 40 available to demonstrate the capabilities of the Garmin G5000 integrated flight deck that is a key feature in the new Learjet 70 and 75. This Learjet 40 is one of two flight-test articles flying in the 70/75 program and the first jet to fly with Garmin’s first Part 25 avionics suite, which is branded as the Vision cockpit for the Learjet application and the first Part 25 avionics system with touchscreen control. Judging from my one-hour flight, the Learjet 70/75 Vision cockpit clearly signals that Honeywell and Rockwell Collins face a keen new competitor in the Part 25 avionics arena. (Cessna has also selected the G5000 system for the Citation Ten, Longitude and Latitude.)
