Garmin gives Maxcraft the Gold Award! 

Maxcraft is pleased to announce that we were presented with the Garmin Gold Award for Performance Excellence.  Maxcraft once again is the #1 Garmin dealer in Canada and in the top 10% worldwide.

 

We had the pleasure of having a very cool helicopter, a Eurocopter EC120 in our hangar. 

 

Our customer wanted flexibility on his entertainment audio and a better intercom with cell phone functions.  To satisfy those needs, our crew chief Will installed the new GMA 350H audio panel.  

 

He also installed precise flight pulse lights, a strobe kit and a convenience power receptacle.  They were busy on this aircraft!

It takes a lot to impress us and when we saw Garmin’s new audio technology we didn’t start jumping up and down…that is until we actually heard it! Audio/Intercom components are the heart of any aircraft system and we have always been quite particular on what equipment we recommend. Well, let me tell you, there is a new boss in town!

A bunch of excited techs listening to  3-D Spatial Audio

 

Garmin’s new GMA 350 audio panel includes 3D spatial processing, or “3D Audio”, which mimics the way humans process sounds and conversations. Similar to how humans are able to focus their listening attention on a single talker among a mixture of other conversations and background noises, the GMA 350 can simulate 3D sound with stereo headsets. 

 

If the pilot is monitoring air traffic control on one radio and, the ATIS on another radio, the GMA 350 will separate the two conversations by placing air traffic control towards the pilot’s left and the ATIS towards the pilot’s right. Likewise, intercom audio is also separated relative to where each individual sits.

“We’re able to provide pilots many capabilities that have never been available in the cockpit,” Garmin’s vice president of marketing, Gary Kelley, said of the GMA 350. “And the expandable architecture means we’ve laid the groundwork so that pilots will likely see new capabilities added via software updates, rather than hardware updates that are often cost prohibitive.”

 

Other current features contained in the new audio panel include: voice recognition (to control audio panel switching), and smart audio leveling. All the features are in Garmin’s new GMA 350 audio panel (fixed-wing aircraft) and the Garmin GMA 350H (helicopter) audio panel.

Sammy works upstairs as the Manager of our Avionics Repair Services division and senior technician.

Â

Though Sammy is not a pilot, he loves the thrill and excitement of nailing down the cause of the breakdown in the avionics equipment.  Sammy got interested avionics because of the very dynamic and challenging nature of the business and the fascination of aviation in general.
