Global Vision Flight Deck
 

I am looking for any documentation on the new GVFD used specifically in the Global Express family of aircraft. What I am specifically after is a cockpit layout similar to what is seen in this photo at the bottom of right http://www.flightglobal.com/airspace...00-cutaway.jpg

Any help would be appreciated!

The layout in the bottom left hand corner of the Flight International poster is the Global Vision flightdeck. Note the Rockwell Collins reference. Prior to Global Vision, avionics supplier was Honeywell. The poster is for Global 5000. The Global XRS flightdeck is identical. For more see www.global visionflightdeck.com

Went to the web site by removing the space in your post. Very impressive flight deck! I have some experience with Planeview from the G450/550, but without the Synthetic Vision update.

Please forgive the thread drift, but I am curious about the benefits of putting SV on the HUD. I liked knowing everything in the HUD was 'real life' info, versus the ND stuff being 'database'. The only advantage I can think of having SV on HUD is an instant verification of map shift if things don't line up. Anyone care to enlighten me?

The Global ergonomics do look better than the G birds. The third generation IR is pretty slick as well. I guess G decided a common type rating was worth the lack of ergonomic updating.

Fred,

are you saying put the synthetic vision up on the HUD as well as the FLIR/EVS?

If that is what you mean, I wonder how that would look... if it would make sense or be confusing.

That is apparently the plan for the Global Vision as stated on their web site.

I was thinking the same as you QS, what a cluttered mess. An EVS equipped HUD is busy enough as is. I also don't want to have to decide if what I am seeing is real or database during a critical phase of flight.

What about a slight map shift. Which runway is the real one?

Since I don't have any SV experience I am open to enlightenment. OTOH, looking through the Planeview EVS HUD I know what I see is really there.

Having seen the mock ups for Synthetic Vision and the Honeywell Demos for Falcon Aircraft (we have Synthetic Vison on order) you wont mistake anything when using it....its almost creepy how perfect the display is.

Im not a HUD fan, but I'm guessing thats where most will be displayed.

On the G150 the STREAM offers EVS-- but they could not fit the HUD equipment in there, so the EVS shows up on the MFD... which is pretty much useless!!

I personally am a HUD fan-- on cars and on airplanes!

A HUD with EVS gives you so much situational awareness-- and not just in take-off/landing phase-- in cruise you can see if you are going to top that cell in front of you as well!!
