“With these approvals, we’re thrilled to expand the availability
of the GI 275 to now include the helicopter market,” said Carl
Wolf, vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “The GI 275
is the perfect solution for helicopter owners and operators, as it
allows them to take a scalable, cost-conscious approach to their
avionics upgrade. Even further, the GI 275 adds a tremendous amount
of reliability and capability to any cockpit, making it the perfect
upgrade for every panel.”
Lightweight and compact, the GI 275 is intentionally designed to
take advantage of the common 3.125-inch flight instrument size,
reducing installation time and preserving the existing instrument
panel. Its bright, high-resolution touchscreen display and wide
viewing angle offers superior readability in the cockpit. In
addition to interfacing with the flight instrument via the
touchscreen, a dual concentric knob allows pilots to access a
variety of key functions. Suitable as a direct replacement to many
aging flight instruments, the GI 275 offers operators a simple and
straightforward upgrade path to achieve modern flight instrument
features and functions.
When installed as a CDI, the GI 275 is designed to accept a
variety of GPS and navigation inputs, allowing up to two GPS
sources and two VHF navigation sources. The GI 275 features an Omni
Bearing Resolver that allows the flight instrument to interface to
a variety of legacy navigators on the market. Vertical and lateral
GPS, VOR/LOC and glide slope deviation can be viewed on the GI 275.
MFD-like features such as a moving map, MFD flight data, weather,
traffic, SafeTaxi® airport diagrams and the display of radar
altimeter information add even more capability to the cockpit. The
GI 275 can be paired with the GRA® 55/5500 and other third-party
products to display radar altimeter data. Visual and aural
annunciations are also available.
Built-in Wi-Fi® enables Database Concierge, the wireless
transfer of aviation databases to the GI 275. Pilots also have the
option to transfer databases to the GI 275 using a USB flash drive
and the GSB 15 USB charger. Databases can also be synced among
multiple GI 275 flight instruments in a single cockpit. Additional
wireless functions include the sharing of GPS position and back-up
attitude information with the Garmin Pilot™ mobile application.
The GI 275 is available immediately for installation via Field
Approval in select Part 27 FAA-registered helicopters as a CDI or
MFD. Additional features and functions are expected to be approved
via STC in Q4 2020. The GI 275 also comes with a two-year warranty
and is supported by Garmin’s award-winning aviation support team,
which provides 24/7 worldwide technical and warranty support. For
