Garmin International Inc. announced last week it received approval that gives thousands of general aviation pilots a chance to replace their old directional gyro system or horizontal situation indicator with the company’s G5 electronic flight instrument. When linked together with the appropriate VHF communications and standard or GPS navigation units, “the G5 can be considered primary for displaying magnetic heading, VOR/LOC guidance and/or GPS course guidance, as well as distance and ground speed,” Garmin said in a news release.
