GLOBAL 5000 VISION FLIGHT DECK
The "Global 5000 Vision" refers to the advanced flight deck, or avionics suite, equipped on the Bombardier Global 5000 business jet. It's also sometimes referred to as the Bombardier Vision flight deck and incorporates the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics system. This system enhances situational awareness for pilots through features like a synthetic vision system (SVS) and MultiScan weather radar.
Here's a more detailed look:
Key Features of the Global 5000 Vision Flight Deck:
- Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion Avionics:
This is the core of the system, providing a digital flight control system with four large LCD displays.
SVS creates a 3D color image of the terrain on the head-up display (HUD) and primary flight displays (PFDs), enhancing situational awareness, especially in low visibility.
This radar automatically scans multiple angles to identify storm cores and other weather hazards, improving safety and comfort.
- Enhanced Vision System (EVS):
EVS, when combined with SVS, creates a combined vision system (CVS) for an optimized view of the surroundings.
- Ergonomic Design:
The cockpit is designed for optimal pilot comfort and control, with features like side stick controllers and an auto throttle system.
- Integrated Flight Management System (FMS):
The FMS includes a user-friendly interface with graphical flight planning capabilities and is integrated with the auto throttle system.
- Advanced Safety Features:
The Global 5000 Vision includes features like a traffic collision avoidance system, enhanced ground proximity warning system, and a Category 3B autoland system.
Benefits of the Global 5000 Vision:
- Enhanced Situational Awareness:
The advanced avionics suite provides pilots with a clear and comprehensive view of the surroundings, regardless of weather conditions.
- Reduced Pilot Workload:
The integrated systems and intuitive interface make flying the Global 5000 easier and more efficient.
- Improved Safety:
The advanced safety features and enhanced situational awareness contribute to a safer and more reliable flight experience.
- Modern and Comfortable Environment:
The cockpit is designed with modern aesthetics and ergonomics, providing pilots with a comfortable and enjoyable working environment.
The Global 5000 Vision is a significant upgrade to the Global 5000, offering a state-of-the-art flight deck that enhances safety, efficiency, and overall flying experience.
