Garmin announced at AirVenture a couple of new offerings in addition to the ones we reported on Tuesday. One is a flat-panel system for non-certified use and the other an enhanced cell phone application. Lastly, they announced a huge milestone.
The company announced new details and increased value on the G3X flat-panel avionics system for LSA and Experimental airplanes. Because it’s not governed by standard certification regulations, Garmin was able to create displays that are very innovative and take advantage of the available space. And the price point for the products is nothing short of revolutionary. In addition to the displays, the G3X system will include the magnetometer, ADAHRS, and engine monitoring hardware (sensors not included) for prices starting at $9,995 for a one-screen system that blends PFD and MFD functions for non-certified applications.
