“TeamX, our dedicated team of passionate pilots and experimental
aircraft builders, continue to roll out additional updates that add
more capability to aircraft with a new or existing G5 electronic
flight instrument or G3X Touch flight display,” said Carl Wolf,
Garmin vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “Garmin
remains committed to offering value-minded solutions that give
pilots even more features and flexibility when considering an
avionics installation, and we are thrilled to give thousands of
customers more reasons to pursue a flight display upgrade.”
G5 electronic flight instrument for certified and
experimental aircraft
The G5 electronic flight instrument will soon be capable of
displaying outside air temperature (OAT) and true airspeed (TAS)
using a temperature probe and Garmin adapter. Similar to other
Garmin products, OAT is displayed along the bottom of the airspeed
indicator on the G5, while TAS is displayed on the top. When G5 is
configured as a directional gyro (DG) or horizontal situation
indicator (HSI), wind speed and direction is also displayed in the
upper left corner of the G5. For standalone G5 installations,
additional hardware is required to display OAT and TAS. New for
experimental aircraft, G5 can also display density altitude below
the altimeter while the aircraft is on the ground.
The G5 electronic flight instrument for certified aircraft can
soon be paired with dual digital Garmin navigation sources, such as
a GTN™ 650/750 or GPS 175/GNC 355/GNX 375, and manually switch
between the sources on the G5. For VFR installations, pilots can
also use a Garmin portable to display lateral course deviation
information on the G5.
G3X Touch for experimental aircraft
Pilots are provided with a comprehensive, in-depth look at
engine performance and trend data with G3X Touch for experimental
aircraft, which includes built-in engine and flight data logging.
Aircraft performance, engine data and any exceedances that may
occur are automatically stored on an SD card in the display. In
addition to data logging, pilots can view real-time detailed engine
information from G3X Touch within the Garmin Pilot™ app. This
information is sent wirelessly from G3X Touch to Garmin Pilot.
Pilot-configurable exceedances can also be set within the Garmin
Pilot app.
G3X Touch for experimental aircraft is also adding a new display
configuration - a standalone Multifunction Display (MFD) with an
optional Engine Indication System (EIS). This display configuration
is a natural addition to thousands of aircraft with a single or
dual G5 installation. The G3X Touch is also capable of displaying
maps, charts, weather, traffic, terrain and more, alongside engine
information.
New software and optional hardware for the G5 electronic flight
instrument for all customers and G3X Touch for experimental
aircraft is expected to be available in August. A comprehensive
Garmin bundle that enables the display of OAT, TAS, winds and more
on the G5 will also be available in August for a list price of
$495. The G3X Touch and G5 electronic flight instrument are
supported by Garmin’s award-winning aviation support team, which
provides 24/7 worldwide technical and warranty support. Garmin will
be showcasing these new features and configuration options next
week at the Garmin exhibit during the 2019 EAA AirVenture fly-in,
in Oshkosh, Wis., July 22-28, 2019. For additional information,
