The Garmin G5000 Avionics set is chosen to equip the D328eco, a twin-engine aircraft produced by Deutsche Aircraft and based on the Dornier 328.
In order to be a more efficient, economical and ecologically correct aircraft, the fuselage is prepared for the use of the SAF, in addition, the cabin design and state-of-the-art avionics will aim for a single pilot operation in the future for greater efficiency operational.

For Garmin International, the agreement represents a step forward in the regional aircraft segment.
“We are excited to have Garmin join our D328eco program and offer the first redesigned cabin for a regional aircraft with fewer than 70 seats this century. The new cockpit of the D328eco, which builds on the proven functions of the Garmin G5000, will set the standards for the future in this segment.” said Dave Jackson, Managing Director of Deutsche Aircraft.

All systems present on the plane were designed to have progressive automation, in order to reduce the crew's workload and allow the flight operated by a single pilot. Also, avionics are controlled by touch screens, not levers, switches and other buttons. The power applied to the two engines, on the other hand, must be controlled by a single lever.
Other improved systems will be on board, such as a synthetic vision system and a GWX 8000 StormOptix weather radar, which should allow the plane to make safer takeoffs and landings even in difficult visibility situations.
The G5000 also includes functions such as envelope protection, automated emergency lowering and a configurable maintenance computer.
The D328eco's avionics are also designed to allow flexibility in the system architecture to meet future needs, allowing for software upgrades without the need to mess around with hardware too soon.
