Dassault Falcon Jet has paired up with Garmin to enhance the safety redundancies of the EASy flight deck with the addition of the Garmin GI 275 stand-by system.
Dassault aircraft covered by the certification include:
- Falcon 7X/Falcon 8X, FAA, and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) validated
- Falcon 900EX EASy, FAA validated
- Falcon 2000EX EASy, FAA, and EASA validated
The GI 275 is Garmin’s most pixel-dense display to date and includes an intuitive touchscreen with synthetic vision and terrain overlay mirroring the EASy II Primary Display Unit (PDU).

According to Dassault, the GI 275 “seamlessly integrates” with existing aircraft systems, offering the same functionality as the previous stand-by system.
“The EASy flight deck is designed to meet state-of-the-art redundancy requirement, however, for added safety they always have been complimented by a stand-by instrument of different architecture, hardware, power and sensor sources,” a Dassault spokesperson told FLYING.
The addition of a second GI 275 on the copilot’s side allows the pilot’s instrument to remain the dedicated stand-by for certification. The copilot’s GI 275 can be configured with additional pages to mirror the pilot’s flight display, including the feature of an HSI with a moving map that can be easily panned or zoomed and automatically accessing the active flight plan.
The unit features the SafeTaxi database that improves pilot situational awareness by displaying current airport diagrams in a “nose-up” orientation. The GI 275 also enables pilots to select airports and other points of interest to view airspace, frequencies, and airport hot spots.
