The new Synthetic Vision – Primary Flight Display (SV-PFD) features a large three-dimensional color image of terrain overlaid with the PFD instrument readings. Innovative technology developed with Honeywell, combined with a pilot-centered design approach that focused on existing system integration, has improved the two-dimensional, blue-over-brown image. Combining previously certified terrain data from Honeywell’s Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) with obstacle data, SV-PFD accurately depicts terrain, obstacles, runways and approaches at locations throughout the world.

Maintaining the tradition of PlaneView® and building on Gulfstream’s participation in NASA’s GVSITE Synthetic Vision research program, SV-PFD includes both traditional and Head-Up Display (HUD) symbology. Symbols such as attitude, altitude, airspeed, bank and steering cues, flight path marker, Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) alerts, and Traffic alert Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) all remain the same. The new HUD-like symbols include a flight path marker, a path-based flight director runway outline and a runway lead-in line.

Gulfstream will offer its SV-PFD as an optional upgrade to current operators of PlaneView-equipped Gulfstream G550, G500, G450 and G350 business jet models. Gulfstream also will offer the optional upgrade to future customers and current customers awaiting completion of their new PlaneView-equipped aircraft.
