Matt Brown, Director of Product Marketing at Eclipse Aviation, explains the features of the Avio NG system.
Designed by Eclipse Aviation exclusively for the Eclipse 500, Avio NG provides Total Aircraft Integration through integral, redundant computer systems and advanced data and power distribution systems. Avio NG applies integration technology to the entire aircraft, including avionics, engine operation, fuel system, flaps, landing gear, cabin pressure and temperature. The cockpit features two PFDs and one MFD, which are controlled by selection keys and knobs on the displays. The PFD and MFD provide the pilot with high-resolution display of all flight parameters, engine and system performance data, and total system control. Dual Garmin GPS 400W units, located below each PFD, provide Eclipse 500 operators with a comprehensive GPS navigation solution.

Avio NG enhances the operational and ownership experiences of the Eclipse 500 by providing unmatched safety, reliability, value, and adaptability.
- Safety - by providing integrated functionality that acts as a virtual co-pilot, presenting the pilot with checklists and advanced navigation and avionics information, helping to improve safety and dramatically reduce pilot workload, especially in single-pilot operation.
- Reliability - by leveraging state-of-the-art digital technology to provide vastly superior systems reliability and redundancy
- Value - by delivering next generation digital avionics with demonstrated airline reliability and systems capability unparalleled in the general aviation segment
- Adaptability - by providing an open architecture platform to incorporate the migration of technology envisioned with the FAA's Next Generation Air Transportation System integrated plan (Next Gen), Avio NG equips the Eclipse 500 for the future.
Avio NG Integrated with Garmin GPS Technology
Avio NG Total Aircraft Integration™ includes dual Garmin® GPS 400W units that provide enroute and terminal GPS navigational guidance with autopilot coupling and Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capabilities for Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) approaches. The units also offer integrated navigational source selection and flight path overlay integrated on Avio NG's navigational displays.
The GPS 400W units enable delivery of Flight Management System (FMS) functionality, when they are combined with the Eclipse 500's integrated performance computer, weight and balance tools, and moving map features. These integrated functions also provide the navigational capability for private and commercial operations worldwide.
Eclipse Aviation has partnered with leading avionics suppliers to produce the next generation Avio system. These suppliers include Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc.; Honeywell; Chelton Flight Systems; Garmin International; and PS Engineering, Inc.
