Garmin has announced new features and capabilities of the GTN series touchscreen GPS/NAV/COM aimed at addressing the specific needs of helicopter operations.
According to Garmin, enhancements include environmental qualification meeting stringent helicopter vibration and temperature testing standards, optional Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compatibility, optional built-in Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System (HTAWS).
“We recognise that helicopter operations have unique requirements, and the optimised features of the GTN are designed specifically to serve those needs,” said Carl Wolf, Garmin’s vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “The speed and ease of data entry and the rapid access to information enhance situational awareness and reduce workload in the helicopter cockpit so the pilot can keep focused on the mission at hand.”
