proline 21 avionics suite

The Challenger 605 upgrades the avionics with the Proline 21 suite. The Proline 21 suite was designed by pilots for pilots and features four 10" X 12" LCD primary/ multi-function displays which provide needed flight critical information while reducing overall workload and increasing situational awareness. The state-of-the-art LCD technology provides a 55% increase in total display area and supports real time graphical weather, moving charts and maps, all while reducing weight by 120 pounds. The system architecture is simplified and rationalized providing greater system reliability. Greater integration, improved functionality, enhanced capabilities, and upgrade capabilities make the Proline 21 one of the premier avionic suites still found in new aircraft produced today.

Primary Flight Display (PFD)
 - Coast-to-Coast ADI
 - Improved visual representation
 - PFD Stall Indicator - Integrated to the avionics suite, the stall indicator has been
   relocated from the glareshield to the PFD
 - Flight Path Vector - Using the same symbology as HUD, it provides enhanced
   information on flight trajectory
 - Angle of attack indicator - Critical angle of attack numbers are at hand providing
   key information regarding: Wing stall, smallest power-off descent rate, best
   power-off glide ratio, recommended “approach speed”, best rate of climb, best
   angle of climb
 - Wx, TAWS (EGPWS), TCAS Overlays - Overlayed on the FMS Map or the
   compass Rose. They provide at-a-glance information to the pilots, increasing
   situational awareness.

Paperless Cockpit - Electronic Jeppesen Charts
The Multifunctional Displays (MFDs) on the Challenger 605 incorporate Jeppesen Charts with own ship position, takeoff charts, approach charts, and terminal charts.
With the introduction of the co-pilot touch screen that can also display Jeppesen charts, the Challenger 605 is paperless e-charts capable in its baseline configuration.
