Garmin® Receives FAA’s Approval for the G500H Helicopter Flight Display

Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the
global leader in satellite navigation, today announced that the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted a supplemental type
certificate (STC) for the Garmin’s G500H, an all-glass avionics system
designed specifically for the VFR Part 27 helicopter market. The STC is
for the Bell 206-series and Bell 407 helicopters.

The G500H is optimized for the rotorcraft market and it builds upon the
best features of the G600 and G500, which are for the fixed-wing
aircraft market. The G500H offers capabilities such as over 900
SafeTaxi® airport diagrams, optional helicopter synthetic vision
technology (HSVT™), optional XM WX Satellite Weather with NEXRAD, and
the option to display video from a forward looking infrared (FLIR)
camera or other video sources.

Available in two versions – one with the PFD on the right, the other
version with the PFD on the left – the G500H offers maximum installation
versatility. The PFD screen displays attitude, airspeed, vertical speed,
altitude and course/heading information, and the MFD shows detailed
moving map graphics with the helicopter’s current position in relation
to terrain, chart data, navaids, and flight plan routings. The G500H
communicates and integrates with Garmin’s other panel mount products,
such as the GNS 430W/530W series.

Recognizing the importance of keeping track of personnel and mobile
assets, the G500H is also compatible with Garmin’s new GSR 56 Iridium
transceiver. This optional and affordable worldwide position tracking
solution enables aircraft location data to be monitored via web-based
displays on authorized base-ops computers.

Customers may interface the G500H with Garmin’s TAS and TCAS I traffic
systems, the GTS 800, GTS 820 and GTS 850, which are optional equipment.
The Garmin traffic systems combine active and passive surveillance data
to pinpoint specific traffic threats.

The G500H is available immediately for an expected introductory price of
$24,995. The G500H includes the GDU 620 display/control unit, GRS 77H
AHRS, GDC 74H digital air data computer, GMU 44 tri-axial magnetometer,
and GTP 59 temp probe. Garmin’s HSVT is also available immediately as a
G500H option for $7,995. Additional information about the G500H or
Garmin’s complete line of helicopter products is available at
