Garmin introduced its new G5000 PRIME flight deck for Part 25 transport aircraft at the 2025 Paris Air Show.

G5000 PRIME features expansive touchscreen primary display units (PDU) with edge-to-edge, sunlight-readable, fingerprint-resistant glass, redefining expectations in cockpit aesthetics and functionality. The vibrant displays include multiple performance enhancements such as quadruple the memory and gigabit system connectivity that is up to 100 times faster than previous generation flight decks. New, faster multi-core processors more than double the processing power – leveraging Garmin’s experience certifying multi-core technology for civil and military aviation markets as early as 2017. Additionally, higher display refresh rates provide crisp, smooth animations and an impressively responsive and fluid experience.

Complementary secondary display units (SDU) provide data entry and system control, with the added capability to display multi-function applications. The high-resolution SDUs boast a 40 percent increase in screen area over prior Garmin touch controllers.

The new flight deck’s multi-touchscreen interface can recognize up to 10 touchscreen inputs at once, and features on-screen hand stabilization. G5000 PRIME also provides pilots with new flight management system (FMS) tools like the “Modified Flight Plan” function that allows pilots to use both the PDU and SDUs to provide a side-by-side graphical preview of flight plan changes, including performance calculation comparisons or what-if scenarios. To further ease information management, the Window Manager feature allows pilots to configure app display, window sizing, and more across the entire flight deck from one SDU. The Window Manager also provides multiple preset options that can configure all displays with one command, eliminating the need for operators to manually configure each window for various phases of flight.

During initialization, pilots can elect to set up an Emergency Return function, which simplifies pilot responses to in-flight emergencies shortly after takeoff. Safety technologies such as Emergency Descent Mode and Garmin Autothrottles further ensure automation is available to assist crews in every phase of flight.

Terminal safety solutions are also among the upgraded capabilities on G5000 PRIME-equipped aircraft. Garmin’s Runway Occupancy Awareness (ROA) technology analyzes GPS and ADS-B traffic information relevant to the airport’s runways and taxiways to assess and alert the flight crew of a possible runway incursion or collision. ROA builds upon Garmin’s other terminal safety solutions including Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS), 3D Safe-Taxi® and Garmin SurfaceWatch™. Additionally, Taxiway Routing provides automated route guidance on the 2D navigational maps and 3D Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) depictions.

The first aircraft delivered with G5000 PRIME cockpits will be announced by aircraft manufacturers in the near future.
