The Military & Aerospace Electronics take:
19 March 2025 - G3000 PRIME's new advanced multi-touch touchscreen interface allows both pilot and copilot to interact with the same display simultaneously. The enhanced multi-touch technology also enables on-screen hand stabilization, allowing pilots to give touchscreen inputs while simultaneously resting their fingers on the display. In addition to touch inputs, pilots may opt to use the cursor control device (CCD) for physical control of commonly used functions, adapting to the Pilatus-designed user interface and further demonstrating PRIME's flexibility.
“We have greatly enjoyed collaborating with Garmin to bring the G3000 PRIME flight deck to the new PC-12 PRO,” Markus Bucher, CEO of Pilatus Aircraft, said in a statement. “This trusted relationship has developed an incredible airplane and cockpit that will set a new standard in business aviation.”
