Bombardier has delivered the first Global 7500 aircraft equipped with a dual head-up display. This capability provides additional safety and redundancy to an already advanced and pilot-friendly cockpit. “The delivery of the first Global 7500 aircraft with a dual HUD showcases our outstanding commitment to safety,” states Michel Ouellette, senior VP of programme management and engineering. “This cockpit is designed to put technology and automation at the service of the crew, rather than creating technology that the crew has to manage.”

The sophisticated HUD on the Global 7500 aircraft is equipped with enhanced and synthetic vision systems for optimal situational awareness. The second HUD builds on these advantages, with benefits including increased contribution from the co-pilot during HUD-assisted operations, easier switching between pilot flying and pilot monitoring as well as valuable redundancy during low-visibility approaches.

The Global 7500 aircraft is equipped with the latest Bombardier Vision flight deck, featuring advanced automation. Examples include fully automatic fuel transfer and cabin pressurisation management, and start-up sequences that are greatly simplified compared to those of other business jets. The unique, automated, self-diagnostic, electronic checklists ensure accuracy and relieve unnecessary manual tasks while providing full visibility to the crew. The Global 7500 aircraft's proven fly-by-wire system is engineered to maximise safety through a design that combines pilot authority and the industry's most complete flight envelope protection.
