Key Takeaways:
Garmin unveiled Axis, a new family of integrated flight displays for piston-powered aircraft (certified singles/twins, experimental, and light sport aircraft).
Axis integrates IFR GPS, nav/comm radio, and audio panel into a single display to reduce aircraft weight and simplify installation, featuring multiple sizes and an easy upgrade path from G3X Touch.
The system emphasizes safety with features like Smart Glide and Runway Occupancy Awareness, offers advanced engine monitoring, and includes built-in Wi-Fi/Bluetooth for connectivity.
The 11.6-inch Axis displays are expected to be available in July, with 8-inch models following in early 2027.
