Insights
Garmin's selection for the Pilatus PC-12 PRO represents a significant win in the high-value business aviation segment. The G3000 PRIME integration marks an expansion of Garmin's aviation footprint into premium aircraft systems, with potential for recurring revenue from both initial installations and future support services.
The technical specifications reveal substantial improvements over previous generations, including quadruple memory capacity, 100x faster connectivity, and doubled processing power. These aren't incremental upgrades but transformative improvements that position Garmin at the forefront of cockpit technology.
Particularly noteworthy is the integration of Garmin's Collier Trophy-winning Autoland system, which provides autonomous emergency landing capabilities - a premium safety feature that significantly differentiates this offering in the marketplace. This represents the commercial application of technology that has already received aviation's highest recognition.
From a business perspective, the Pilatus PC-12 is an ideal platform for Garmin's expansion, as it's widely used in corporate, charter, and specialized operations with over 1,800 deliveries. This partnership creates a showcase installation that could lead to additional OEM adoptions.
With deliveries beginning in Q3 2025, Garmin should see revenue contributions from this program starting within 18 months, with additional functionality (like Autoland) creating upgrade opportunities in 2026 and beyond.
Announcement marks first certified aircraft with G3000 PRIME
"We are honored to be able to bring this extraordinary flight deck to the popular PC-12 aircraft. G3000 PRIME will significantly modernize the cockpit experience in the PC-12 PRO, and we are confident Pilatus customers will enjoy the state-of-the-art system with all of the safety tool features it includes."
–Carl Wolf, Garmin Vice President of Aviation Sales, Marketing, Programs & Support
"We have greatly enjoyed collaborating with Garmin to bring the G3000 PRIME flight deck to the new PC-12 PRO. This trusted relationship has developed an incredible airplane and cockpit that will set a new standard in business aviation."
–Markus Bucher, CEO of Pilatus Aircraft Ltd
Stunning edge-to-edge glass flight displays
G3000 PRIME in the PC-12 PRO features expansive 14-inch touchscreen primary display units (PDU) with edge-to-edge, sunlight-readable, fingerprint-resistant glass, redefining expectations in cockpit aesthetics and functionality. The vibrant displays include multiple performance enhancements such as quadruple the memory and gigabit system connectivity that is up to 100 times faster. New, faster multi-core processors more than double the processing power – leveraging Garmin's experience certifying multi-core technology for civil and military aviation markets as early as 2017. Additionally, higher display refresh rates provide crisp, smooth animations and an impressively responsive and fluid experience.
Complementary secondary display units (SDU) provide data entry and system control, with the added capability to display multi-function applications. The high-resolution, 7-inch SDUs boast a
G3000 PRIME's new advanced multi-touch touchscreen interface, capable of recognizing up to 10 touchscreen inputs at once, 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 precise 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.
Modern & intuitive new user interface
G3000 PRIME boasts a modern, yet familiar Garmin user interface, blending a sleek design with a contemporary look and feel. Enhanced fonts and iconography ensure clarity and familiarity, while smartly organized and shallow application menus provide quick access to critical functions.
Primary Flight Windows (PFW) and Multi-Function Windows (MFW) maximize situational awareness for PC-12 PRO operators with full-screen or split-screen options. New quick access bars allow pilots to open common apps such as maps, traffic, weather and charts with one touch. While viewing maps, pilots can touch anywhere to open a radial menu with options for accessing additional airport, weather, or airspace information, or quickly adjusting a flight plan via graphical editing. Interactive engine and electrical indications allow pilots to quickly access systems controls and information such as cabin environmental controls, synoptics and more.
To further ease information management, the Window Manager feature allows pilots to configure app display, window sizing, and more across the entire flight deck from one SDU. The Window Manager also provides multiple preset options that can configure all displays with one command, eliminating the need for operators to manually configure each window for various phases of flight.
Advanced flight tools
G3000 PRIME encompasses enhanced flight management system (FMS) tools like the Modified Flight Plan, which allows pilots to use both the PDU and SDUs to provide a side-by-side graphical preview of flight plan changes, including performance calculation comparisons or what-if scenarios. During initialization, pilots can also elect to set up an Emergency Return1 function, which simplifies pilot responses to in-flight emergencies shortly after takeoff.
Advanced automation with smart checklists are linked to crew alerting system (CAS) messages. When pilots receive a CAS message that is associated with a checklist, pilots may simply tap the message to open the appropriate checklist with a single touch. The checklists can also now sense indications and show within the checklist that the item is in the correct position, value or configuration – or provide pilots the option to quickly view detailed synoptics.
Unmatched safety-enhancing innovations
G3000 PRIME features a wide array of industry-leading advanced technologies available only from Garmin, including Autonomí, Garmin's family of autonomous safety-enhancing technologies. Collier Trophy recipient, Garmin Autoland1, can take complete control of the flight to land the aircraft in an emergency situation if the pilot is unable to do so2. Additional safety-enhancing tools such as Electronic Stability Protection (ESP™), Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) and Garmin Autothrottle further ensure confidence in every flight.
Seamless connectivity and integration
PC-12 PRO pilots can stay fully connected while flying behind G3000 PRIME using a variety of supported connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, LTE, Bluetooth®, SiriusXM, Connext Satellite Services and more. Garmin's PlaneSync™ connected aircraft management system automatically updates databases2 and logs flight and engine data. Automated cockpit functions such as flight plan uploads over PlaneSync ensure pilots have access to real-time data, enhancing their operational efficiency and decision-making. G3000 PRIME also supports Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC), including the FAA Data Comm, for faster departure clearance (DCL) — as well as enroute exchange of data link messages with air route traffic control centers.
G3000 PRIME in the PC-12 PRO has received initial type certification and deliveries are expected to begin in Q3 2025. To learn more, visit Garmin.com/PRIME.
