The G280™ includes the most advanced flight deck in its class, the PlaneView280™, which is based on Rockwell Collins ProLine Fusion avionics. Its integrated design of highly interactive controls and interfaces such as the Gulfstream Cursor Control Devices (CCD) reduces pilot workload. Pilot situational awareness and safety is improved through advanced graphics, moving map displays and synoptic pages for each system. The G280™ offers a dual auto-throttle system, Jeppesen charts and Universal worldwide graphical weather as optional features of the PlaneView280.
Situational awareness can be greatly increased with Gulfstream's options such as heads-up display (HUD II) and Enhanced Vision System (EVS II). The EVS II and HUD II work together to display an infrared image of the outside world on an LCD screen allowing the pilot to see during low visibility conditions. These Gulfstream options create a safer environment in any weather conditions.
The G280 uses a brake-by-wire system that introduces the first in its class auto-braking. The auto-braking features improve the safety during landing and rejected take-off situations with a faster reaction time and maximum brake pressure. During normal landings into longer fields, the auto-braking feature will improve passenger comfort and reduce brake wear.
