Garmin® unveils the G1000H® NXi Integrated Flight Deck Next-generation, all-glass solution for helicopters

Garmin International, Inc. a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today
announced the G1000H NXi, the next-generation, all-glass integrated
flight deck designed specifically for the FAR Part 27 VFR helicopter
market. The G1000H NXi offers a number of new and enhanced features
tailored to helicopter pilots, including Database Concierge, U.S.
helicopter-specific charts, helicopter terrain awareness warning system
(HTAWS) and WireAware™ wire-strike avoidance technology featured in
rich, 3-D helicopter synthetic vision technology (HSVT). It’s also
equipped with advanced ADS-B-in display, HSI map and visual approach
capability. Powered by faster, brighter, smoother high-resolution
displays, the next-generation G1000H NXi offers an extremely
pilot-responsive and advanced integrated flight deck that provides
pilots with critical decision-making information – flight
instrumentation, navigation, communication, weather, terrain, traffic,
identification, and diagnostics and maintenance computer – in a
consolidated, easy to understand format.

“The G1000H NXi takes the industry’s most trusted glass flight deck
platform to a new, unprecedented level of performance and capability,”
said Carl Wolf, Garmin vice president of aviation sales and marketing.
“We’re humbled by the popularity and adoption of the G1000 NXi, and
building on its success, we’re excited to introduce the G1000H NXi that
brings this innovative technology and superior feature set to the
helicopter market.”

The physical architecture of the G1000H NXi is similar to the
earlier-generation G1000H, but thanks to the system’s new dual-core
processors, its speed, power and capacity for future growth is
dramatically boosted. The G1000H NXi features a pilot-selectable
split-screen capability that allows for two or more separate page views
to be displayed simultaneously, so pilots can access more valuable
decision-making information at a glance without having to flip through
multiple pages in sequence. To support night operations, the G1000H NXi
is also compatible with night vision goggles (NVG).

The G1000H NXi boasts many new and enhanced operational features and
optional capabilities, including:

• WireAware wire-strike avoidance technology that graphically
  overlays the most comprehensive powerline information right on the
  moving map page for the U.S. as well as some locations in both Canada
  and Mexico.
• HTAWS with five-color display shading and audible voice callout
  alerts for powerlines as well as potential terrain and obstacle
  hazards along the flight path.
• Helicopter Route Charts are offered throughout eight U.S.
  metropolitan areas, including the Gulf of Mexico, and provide
  three-color charts that depict helicopter airways and routes,
  heliports with associated frequency and lighting capabilities, NAVAID
  information, obstructions and more. For a faster, more intuitive way
  of judging target trajectories and closure rates in relation to the
  flight path, ADS-B-enabled TargetTrend™ is available and
  especially ideal for picking out the real threats when in dense
  traffic environments.
• ADS-B-enabled TerminalTraffic™ for helicopters recognizes the
  unique operational requirements of these airframes within the airport
  environment and is optimized to keep “nuisance” alerts to a minimum –
  while maintaining pilot awareness of potential traffic conflicts.
  Alerts from nearby fixed-wing aircraft are minimized and abbreviated
  when the helicopter is hovering or performing other maneuvers unique
  to helicopter operations.
• Connext® cockpit connectivity with added Database Concierge and
  flight plan transferring with a compatible tablet or smartphone that
  automatically uploads and syncs databases.
• HSI mapping that puts a multifunction display (MFD) like
  perspective map view within the primary flight display (PFD) to help
  pilots focus on instrumentation scan, enabling them to better
  visualize nearby flight and enroute navigation features, especially
  when things get busy in the cockpit.
• Visual approach generates a three-degree vertical path from the
  threshold of the runway down to pilot-selectable minimums.
• HSVT displays an “out-of-the-window” view of the surroundings,
  regardless of the weather conditions. This synthetic vision seamlessly
  blends information about the helicopter’s position with topographic
  databases to create and display real-time 3-D images. Land, water and
  sky are clearly differentiated with shading and textures that are
  similar to the topographical colors found on the MFD moving map. HSVT
  alerts pilots of potential ground hazards by displaying terrain,
  obstacles and powerlines which pose a threat to the aircraft.

Additional features and capabilities available with the G1000H NXi
include: SiriusXM high-resolution animated weather radar imagery, verbal
ATC-like TAS/TCAS spoken traffic alerts, Telligence™ voice control,
global voice/text, ADS-B out and much more. The system is also capable
of displaying onboard weather radar, radar altimeter, engine information
and video input from compatible camera sources.
