Using technology derived from Garmin’s highly successful G1000™ integrated avionics system, the G600 and G500 suites bring a wealth of graphical flight capabilities to your cockpit retrofit.

The Garmin G500 is a lower-cost alternative, designed specifically for most Class 1/Class 2 aircraft (singles or twins under 6,000 lbs). The G600, which comes with scaled version of Garmin’s SVT as standard, is also approved for Class 1 and 2 aircraft – as well as for larger Class 3 piston and turbine aircraft between 6,000 lbs. and 12,500 lbs MTOW.

G500/G600 FEATURES AT A GLANCE

• Dual 6.5-inch diagonal color LCD displays; portrait orientation
• Large and clear display fonts
• 4.8-inch diagonal attitude indicator
• SVT synthetic vision renders terrain-alerting data into realistic virtual landscape - optional on G500
• Proven solid-state Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) and Air Data Computer (ADC)
• XM WX Satellite Weather and XM Radio (optional)
• Built-in terrain elevation and towers/obstacles databases
• Standard FliteCharts® and SafeTaxi® databases
• Optional ChartView™ shows the aircraft position on the Jeppesen approach charts and airport surface diagrams
• Offers control/display for available GWX 68 airborne weather radar
• Displays GPS mapping, as well as optional traffic, terrain and datalink systems
• Flight director for selected autopilots
• Optional TAWS-B alerting (G600 only)
• Real-time winds aloft data on PFD
• GAD 43 adapter provides AHRS reference for autopilot interface on select models (allows replacement of gyro attitude, yaw, and baro correction; radar stabilization; and bootstrap heading) – optional on G500.

Consolidating all primary flight, navigation and sensor data in a “big picture” suite of multi-tasking color LCDs, the G600/G500 systems’ identical 10-inch wide bezels fit neatly into the panel space vacated by your standard six-pack of mechanical 3-inch flight instruments. In many cases, the existing airspeed indicator, artificial horizon and altimeter can be relocated to serve as standby instruments, adjacent to the G600/G500 flight display. Also, optional Garmin trim rings are available for the installation, enabling the existing instrument panel to be modified and re-used – thus affording a significant cost savings over an all-new panel. FAA Approved data for replacing most panels is also included with the G600/G500.

Garmin SVT™ adds a new dimension.

The available SVT synthetic vision feature uses sophisticated graphics modeling to create a virtual topographic landscape from the G600/G500’s terrain-alerting database. This enables the PFD to display a clear 3-D depiction of ground and water features, airports, obstacles and traffic – all shown in relative proximity to your aircraft. Instead of a flat blue-over-brown flight display, you’ll see an in-depth perspective view of realistic terrain features rising into the sky. So, rather than looking at the PFD, you’ll have a sense of looking through it – to “see” what lies beyond the nose of the aircraft. Fact is, the Garmin SVT presentation looks so real, it’s almost like having a clear-day out-the-window view of your flight situation – even in solid IFR, nighttime VFR, or other low visibility conditions.

The AHRS advantage.

You can see that a lot of forward thinking went into the design of the new G600/G500 glass cockpit displays. But we didn’t stop there. At every level of technology and system architecture, Garmin engineering has yielded gamechanging advances in reliability, innovation and performance.

In place of less reliable gyro instruments, the system uses Garmin’s proven GRS 77 Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS). The GRS 77 is the same AHRS installed in thousands of G1000-equipped aircraft, with accumulated flight hours in the millions. Using additional comparative inputs from GPS, magnetometer and air data computer, the Garmin AHRS achieves unprecedented levels of spatial-sensing precision and dependability.What’s more, unlike some competitive attitude/heading sensors, it’s even able to restart and fully realign itself while the aircraft is moving.

Databases, datalinks, data-everything.

By referencing built-in terrain and mapping databases, the Garmin G600/G500 MFD provides a clear, concise picture of where you are and where you’re heading. Front-loading SD card slots on the G600/G500 bezel make updating of charts and software a simple plug-in procedure.What’s more, for data access beyond the cockpit itself, it’s easy to combine the G600/G500 with a variety of optional sensors and data links.

At a glance the Garmin basemap helps identify cities, roads, rivers, lakes, and other ground features along your flight path. Added safety is provided by a built-in terrain elevation database that uses color coding to alert you as you approach rising terrain. (Class B TAWS alerting is also available as an option with the G600 only.) On the ground, built-in Garmin SafeTaxi™ airport diagrams help pilots navigate over 900 U.S. airports with confidence – as their aircraft’s exact location is graphically highlighted on the field. Garmin FliteCharts®, which feature electronic versions of NACO terminal procedures charts for U.S. airports, come standard with the system. As an alternative, pilots can select optional ChartView™ instrument approach plates and airport surface charts for the G600/G500 (Jeppesen JeppView™ for MFD subscription required). ChartView is unique in its ability to overlay a geo-referenced aircraft symbol on the electronic approach chart, providing a visual crosscheck of your progress inbound. Then, when you land, ChartView will automatically display the destination airport’s surface diagram.

Add Weather and Traffic

Make informed decisions based on weather and traffic with optional sensors and services. With an subscription to XM WX Satellite Weather™ and the addition of the GDL 69 or 69A data link receiver, you’ll have access to up-to-the-minute, high resolution weather information for the U.S., right in the cockpit. Weather information includes NEXRAD, METARs, TAFs, Lightning and more and can be laid directly over Jeppesen and topographic map databases. With an additional monthly service fee, GDL 69A delivers XM Satellite Radio to your aircraft. Add a Garmin Mode S transponder, and G600/G500 will also display Traffic Information Services (TIS) alerts that identify surrounding air traffic. For the best in “scan-your-own” weather analysis, G600/G500 can be interfaced with Garmin’s GWX 68™ digital color radar. At 6.5 kilowatts, it packs the power to penetrate serious weather.
