    INTRODUCTION GARMIN Integrated Flight Deck (GIFD) The GIFD is a completely integrated avionics system, designed to fit a broad range of aircraft models. It is an all-glass fight deck that presents flight instrumentation, location, navigation, communication, and identification data on large-format, high-resolution displays. The digital data presentation on the GIFD puts all flight-critical information literally at the pilot’s fingertips.

    DECK TO ENHANCE THE AERONAUTICAL DECISION MAKING (ADM) PROCESS AND SINGLE-PILOT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (SRM) The Garmin Integrated Flight Deck has brought a number of improvements in cockpit technology to General Aviation (GA) aircraft. These improvements range from longer life and greater reliability of the primary instruments to a simplified pilot interface.

  • Page 52: Flight Planning

    emergency. Nonetheless, it is imperative that the pilot double-check all autopilot inputs in order to avoid mode confusion and monitor them to ensure that the intended operation is taking place. If equipped with a GFC 700 AFCS, it is also important for pilots to understand the capabilities and limitations of the system.
  • Page 53 WEATHER AWARENESS In this discussion so far, the focus has been on SRM. Now, attention will be turned to leveraging the various data inputs from the on-board weather sensors, datalinks, traffic awareness, and terrain awareness functions. Proper understanding of both the operation of these various tools and their integration with the pilot’s aeronautical decision making (ADM) process can bring significant safety gains to the GA feet.
  • Page 54 TRAFFIC AWARENSS Traffic Collision and Avoidance Systems (TCAS) represent another technological advance that has been made in the area of traffic avoidance. Originally developed for large commercial aircraft, TCAS technology is now starting to trickle down features and capabilities to the GA feet. For example, the GTX 33 Mode-S Transponder can be used as an optional component in GIFD- equipped aircraft and brings Traffic Information Service (TIS) data directly to the cockpit.
  • Page 55 FINAL THOUGHTS In conclusion, as GA aircraft and pilots transition to 21st-century technology, the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck provides a number of safety-enhancing benefits. Although automation in the cockpit should be embraced, both its positive and negative impacts on the safety of flight should be recognized and understood.
