Ghanaian businessman and Chief Executive Officer of Engineers and Planners, Ibrahim Mahama, has attracted widespread attention following his acquisition of a Bombardier Global 6500 private jet, valued $56 million (GH₵602M) according to industry estimates.
Numerous reactions have trailed the purchase of a new luxury jet by the Ghanaian business mogul, amid his revelation that the old private jet will now be used as an emergency air ambulance for all Ghanaians. But what does the interior of the customised Bombardier Global 6500 private jet look like?
The Bombardier Vision flight deck is widely regarded as one of the most advanced cockpits in business aviation. Designed for aircraft such as the Bombardier Global 6500, it combines cutting-edge avionics, intelligent automation and sleek design to give pilots exceptional control and awareness in every phase of flight.
A Cockpit Designed for Clarity
One of the standout features of the Vision flight deck is its Combined Vision System (CVS) — a first in the industry.
Traditionally, aircraft used either:
Synthetic Vision System (SVS) – which creates a computer-generated 3D image of terrain and runways.
Enhanced Vision System (EVS) – which uses infrared cameras to help pilots see through darkness, fog or poor visibility.
In the Global 6500, both systems are seamlessly merged into a single, unified display. This means pilots don’t have to switch between views or interpret separate images. Instead, they receive one clear, integrated picture.
The result?
Reduced pilot workload
Better decision-making
Improved safety
Clear visibility even in challenging weather conditions
In simple terms, it gives pilots “the clearest view through the toughest weather.”
Advanced Automation That Works for the Crew
The Vision flight deck is not just about what pilots see — it’s also about how the aircraft responds.
Its advanced automation systems assist with navigation, performance management and system monitoring. This helps pilots focus on strategy and situational awareness rather than being overwhelmed by manual inputs.
The interface itself is clean, intuitive and modern, blending high functionality with refined aesthetics.
Built for All-Weather Performance
The Global 6500 is engineered to perform in conditions that might challenge other aircraft.
Rain, wind and ice are no match for it. The aircraft’s systems and performance capabilities allow it to operate confidently in difficult weather environments.

It also features:
Shorter landing performance
Strong field capabilities
Smooth ride technology
Impressive range and speed
This means the aircraft can access more airports and operate efficiently in a wider range of conditions.
Performance Without Compromise
The Global 6500 combines:
Long-range capability
High cruising speeds
Excellent take-off and landing performance
Exceptional passenger comfort
While passengers enjoy a smooth and quiet ride in the cabin, the pilots benefit from one of the most sophisticated and supportive cockpits in the industry.
The Bombardier Vision flight deck is more than just a cockpit — it is an intelligent flying environment. By combining powerful automation, industry-leading vision systems and all-weather capability, it ensures that the Global 6500 delivers both safety and performance without compromise.
In short, it gives pilots confidence — and passengers peace of mind — no matter the destination or the weather conditions.
