Key Takeaways:
Garmin has unveiled "Axis," a new family of integrated flight displays designed for certified piston-powered, experimental, and light sport aircraft.
Axis consolidates multiple avionics functions, such as IFR GPS, nav/comm radio, and audio panel, into single displays, aiming to reduce aircraft weight, simplify installation, and enhance safety and efficiency.
The displays offer various sizes (11.6-inch, 8-inch) with touchscreens and physical controls, incorporating advanced safety features like Smart Glide, Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT), 3D SafeTaxi, and comprehensive engine monitoring.
Axis provides a streamlined upgrade path for existing Garmin G3X Touch users, with 11.6-inch displays available in July and 8-inch models expected in 2027, covering hundreds of aircraft models via an AML STC.
Garmin on Wednesday unveiled a new family of flight displays designed for piston-powered aircraft called Axis.
Axis is designed to work with certified piston-powered singles and twins though an AML STC (Approved Model List Supplemental Type Certificate) covering hundreds of models. The integrated avionics system is also available for experimental and light sport aircraft.
