Synthetic Vision - Primary Flight Display (SV-PFD)



Exclusively by Honeywell for Gulfstream PlaneView® Advanced Cockpits

EXPERIENCE THE VISION.

Gulfstream's Synthetic Vision - Primary Flight display is the first application of Honeywell's SmartView™ Synthetic Vision system.  SmartView is built on the reliable foundation of Honeywell's Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) and its terrain database.  The fusion of the EGPWS database with  Head Up Display technology provides pilots an ambient, natural and continuous view into their flight path, terrain and navigational environment without changing  the way the pilot uses the Primary Flight Display (PFD).

SV-PFD benefits flight crews by providing key information to back up several decision links in the accident chain leading to a new level of safety.  


FEATURES AND BENEFITS.

SV-PFD is a revolutionary product that increases safety and situational awareness:

  Performance-based HUD symbology provides intuitive interpretation of aircraft energy management


  Obstacle data improves the pilot's situational awareness in critical flight phases

  Runway highlight and extended centerline help the pilot locate and navigate towards the runway

  Advanced unusual attitude declutter removes the terrain when aircraft enters unusual attitude to allow focus on returning to safe and steady flight

  Displays natural, 3-D rendering of terrain with unparalleled resolution

  Helps pilots avoid "premature descent" class of accidents that may occur as a miscommunication between the crew and ATC
