Situational awareness is all about visualizing what you may not be seeing. That’s why you need Garmin HSVT™. This safety-enhancing 3-D synthetic vision technology is now optionally available with Garmin’s G500H glass cockpit helicopter display system. And it can make a world of difference when weather and outside visibility are less than ideal. Creating a virtual landscape on the G500H PFD, Garmin HSVT™ provides a databasegenerated view of ground and water features, airports, obstacles, traffic and more. Plus, HTAWS helicopter terrain alerting1 is supported with compatible GNS 400W/500W series WAAS navigators (if option-enabled). HTAWS voice callouts audibly announce one’s height above terrain when descending below 500 feet. And a special Garmin HTAWS database adds over 30,000 lower-height structures – showing some 25% more obstacles that might be hazardous to helicopter operations2. No wonder more pilots look to Garmin technology for cues that translate to confidence. Follow the leader.
