A Walkthrough of Gulfstream’s G600 Touchscreen Symmetry Flight Deck - AIN

The G600 and G500 are a major leap forward for Gulfstream in terms of the flight deck design, while also launching a new family of long-range jets that take advantage of the latest technology. From the active-sidestick fly-by-wire flight controls to the touchscreen-controlled avionics, Gulfstream has leapfrogged its competitors in the technology race and at the same time produced a large modern business jet that is easy and actually fun to fly. One of the neat new features in the G600 and G500 is the touchscreen overhead panel. Where there used to be what seemed like acres of switches and buttons, there are now three touchscreens that are used to control all the aircraft systems. A huge benefit of these new touchscreens is that the pilots can go from dark cockpit to ready for engine start in less than half the time of earlier Gulfstreams like the G550.

As a Captain on the B787, I thought I was flying one of the more technologically advanced aircraft, but this is a whole new level up. Stunning flightdeck with everything a pilot could ever want. Great explanation on the systems and design philosophy. Hopefully one day I'll to have the opportunity to fly this magnificent aircraft.

I hope not something satisfying about the tactile feedback from switches and buttons. also in support of screens having some redundant systems on on physical switches and buttons make a lot of sense. But this G600 is more Rafale vs Mig -21 - gulfstream II in terms of cockpits.

Extremely impressive --- The avionics package, not the comments from people that didn't watch the video. Very intuitive and pilot friendly. Being able to grab the "switch panel" and activate controls like that is unparalleled currently. It's like a checklist that puts the buttons and info next to the step. Combining / auto completing certain tasks is a nice feature. Can't help but laugh at those that'd rather have the old school manual knob to actually have to crank the tuning wheel for something (I could just hear them "I don't want radio presets, I want to have to spin the knob to tune into a station, especially trying to avoid listening to commericals!"). Well done Gulfstream!

My only problem with this type of flight deck is how useful are the touch screens in an emergency or high turbulence a menu under another menu. Changing the focus of the pilot or co-pilot to look for a particular menu when the full focus should be on the situation there should be a physical button backup that is illuminated when active would help immensely if such life threatening situations

[@medeste]

Very weird he has to operate the panel on his right with his left hand to have a grip. I tried to operate my smartphone (on navigation app) while driving, it's very difficult, i think i would consider this only with haptic and physical feedback. Too easy to click on something by mistake and not even knowing what it was, exspecially when something is distracting you. I see this is not a normal touchscreen, but I have to try it to understand if it's really that reliable and precise. Honestly, this tecnology is cool and seems very useful for the pilots in standard operations, they can make it easier and less stressful. But there's a number of out of standard situation where all of that can be problematic, yes they can substitute a screen on the fly, but would they be able to do that in an emergency situation? This may fix some issues from the old standard technology and generate others... It seems well tought and they seem to have considered possible issues, but it's very difficult to evaulate the problems and disasters this can prevent and is easy to look only at the new problems it can create.

[@billhart9832]

@@medeste I suspect he's lefthanded or more likely, for a clear field of view from the camera angle it's the least obstructed using his left hand from the left seat. Also, if you look carefully, the entire perimeter of each of the TCDs can be used as a handhold. the TCDs are like a small pedestal table.

I admit Ive been retired a few years now and maybe I don’t have all the information on this plane, so please forgive me if I’m not up to date. I would give anything to get some SIDE stick time in this bird. I flew G-2’s and 4’s but this one leaves them in the dirt. Bravo Gulfstream !!!

[@ViniciusRozario]

Everything we do in our lives envolves a certain type of risk, but you can evaluate those risks and mitigate them to a certain level of safety. In aviation safety you must be aware that nothing is 100% safe, since there is always a situation that you can do nothing about it and you are going to crash. With that in mind, you have to calculate the probability of risks like the one that you have mentioned and if they are at a safety level, for exemple, 1 in 2.000.000 flights, then you can assume that the probability is so low that you can fly this aircraft without hesitation. This equipments must pass through certifications that evaluate this safety level. If this aircraft is certified to fly (and the certification process was made correctly) then we can assume that they have made everything to mitigate this risk and it must likely wont occour, although it can occour, just like it can occour with any other aircraft. If you lose all eletric power including stand by systems and have black screens on a 737 within IMC conditions, you are in trouble. This situation can happens but they have mitigated this risk to a certain acceptable level.

And they layer everything behind key presses and menus. If I want to do something in the airplane, especially under stress, I'd really like the control to be right there, physically available and obvious... Information displays nested into menus are fine but system controls are not.

Aren't the visual or audible indicators effective as well?

[@guillaumemichel3156]

Even in a jet that's as basic and old as a CRJ, every selection needs to be confirmed by reading how the system reacts: press a button, great! what did it do ? only way to know is to get a message of some sort, that tells the status of what you're interacting with. So physical switches vs touch screen isn't really the debate here.

The screens should accommodate for the right hand handling the screen also allowing grips.

Almost all control surfaces provide a place to grip for using the touch surfaces. Pilots were included in the design process and it shows. One can completely reconfigure the instrument panel with the touch of a finger. The pilots have more information available to them at any given moment than any analog layout could ever provide.

First let me say I am not a pilot so asking this question because I am curious....Most planes being built today seem to be heading the way of "fly by wire" where electricity is sending the commands to the planes to do what you want it to do instead of having the pulleys and cables. How do you fly the plane when you have a complete electrical failure or computer/software crash?

[@AINvideo]

Gulfstream has explained to us that it has numerous separate backup systems in place in case of any failures. The backups are more than what is required to certify with the FAA. Thanks for watching!

[@after_midnight9592]

Fly-by wire has been in most planes since the 70s, this is ancient tech. These systems are usually triple-redundant and independent. I don't think a crash can happen in a dedicated software like this. This is not you average windows app. If one flight computer gives out the wrong results, compared to the other two or three, it's ignored.

[@Benglator1]

Thanks guys for the answers and I am also one to believe that with the redundancy in aircraft a complete failure should not occur. However a complete failure can occur so my question remains. If any one of the 2 systems(electrical/computer) crash completely can the plane still be controlled or is it just a free fall from whatever altitude the failure occurred?

Really Really want to fly one of these... I fly an A320 BTW. That is a crate compared to this.
