PlaneDeck Enhancement

For GIV and GV Aircraft

Increase your Aircraft's Value, Safety, Efficiency and Reliability

All With One Consolidated Retrofit

Based on Honeywell’s DU-885 display technology, Gulfstream has developed PlaneDeck™, a retrofit to the cockpit’s primary flight displays, which converts from cathode ray tube (CRT) to liquid crystal display (LCD) while maintaining Gulfstream’s six-panel display configuration. Installed with minimum downtime for a retrofit containing multiple advantages, and backed by the worldwide support of Honeywell and Gulfstream*, PlaneDeck offers many of the same benefits and safety features as some of the most sophisticated cockpits in operation today.

Advantages You'll See and Believe

Beyond the clarity of the display itself, PlaneDeck also offers the integration of XM® graphical weather, Jeppesen electronic charts and maps with own ship display and video displays, all accessed through a cursor control interface. Now you can experience the powerful advantages of highly reliable LCDs without the downtime, expense or additional pilot training needed when undergoing a typical display replacement.

Eye on the Future

Gulfstream has created PlaneDeck to provide benefits not just for today, but for future needs as well. Specifically designed for SPZ-8000/8400 and SPZ-8500 series avionics systems, this retrofit also provides growth capabilities for future communication, navigation and surveillance/air traffic management (CNS/ATM) functions. What's more, PlaneDeck provides expandability for upcoming requirements such as WAAS-LPV, RNP, FANS1/A, and ADS-B (ln).

Cursor Control Device (CCD)

Ergonomically designed and engineered to provide both pilot and co-pilot cursor input for the PlaneDeck displays.

The articulating cursor control device (CCD) mounts within the pilot and co-pilot side consoles to permit easy thumb and finger input of mode selection, enter, scroll, zoom and cursor placement.

Benefits of CCD

• Enhanced activation
• Pull-down menu selection
• Charts, maps, videos, short-cut buttons
• Scrolling
• Map range selection
• Chart, map zooming
• Multiple enter or select functions
• Convenient push-to-talk function
