A Smarter Avionics Upgrade for an Even More Capable Falcon 2000EX
Modern avionics upgrades play a critical role in improving redundancy, reliability, and pilot situational awareness, especially on proven platforms like the Falcon 2000EX. Recently, our team at West Coast Aircraft Maintenance completed the installation of a Garmin GI 275 Standby Attitude Indicator at Long Beach Airport (KLGB), bringing meaningful capability enhancements to the aircraft.
Modern Redundancy with the Garmin GI 275
Installed as a replacement for the original Secondary Flight Display (SFD), the primary Garmin GI 275 integrates seamlessly with the Falcon’s existing systems and is configured as an Attitude-Direction Indicator (ADI) with Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT). In this configuration, the GI 275 displays the aircraft’s flight path, along with attitude, heading, altitude, airspeed, and vertical speed, providing pilots with clear, intuitive flight information.
The system also supports Localizer, ILS, and VOR approach cues, enhancing approach guidance and overall situational awareness. With SVT enabled, pilots benefit from a rich, three-dimensional depiction of terrain and the surrounding environment, further strengthening confidence during critical phases of flight.
Targeted Upgrades That Deliver Real Value
This installation is a strong example of how focused avionics upgrades can modernize key systems while improving reliability and long-term supportability across the fleet. By replacing legacy components with current-generation technology, operators gain increased redundancy and operational flexibility without unnecessary complexity.
