Embraer Executive Jets certifies Prodigy Touch for Phenom 300

With the certification of the new Prodigy Touch Avionics Suite for the Phenom 300 by ANAC – Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, Embraer Executive Jets revolutionizes the interface between pilots and avionics, giving pilots the first touchscreen-controlled glass flight deck, specifically designed for light turbine aircraft. Prodigy Touch, a breakthrough in cockpit philosophy based on the Garmin G3000 platform, will be available as an option for the Phenom 300 beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Prodigy Touch Flight Deck makes extensive use of the latest technologies in a highly integrated and automated architecture. Designed with the “quiet-and-dark” philosophy, the touch-screen technology is based on human factors design and intelligent automation specifically focusing on single-pilot operation.
