G3X 7-inch PFD.
Garmin, one of the global leaders in satellite navigation, announced at the end of July a new 7-inch G3X Touch display option for experimental amateur-built and light sport aircraft. The new high-resolution infrared touchscreen display compliments the existing 10.6-inch G3X Touch system, offering new panel design options and redundancy. All G3X Touch displays support Connext cockpit connectivity between avionics and mobile devices featuring wireless flight plan transfer capabilities and more. “Team X, our dedicated experimental avionics team, continues to push the envelope by introducing innovative avionics for pilots and homebuilders in the sport aircraft market,” said Carl Wolf, vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “Customization and flexibility are key when designing an aircraft panel and the new 7-inch G3X Touch display offers just that – the option to tailor the instrument panel to the needs of any homebuilder, while equipping them with an intuitive touchscreen-based flight display with incredible capability.”
Touch when you want it. Turbulence when you don't. From the beginning, Dynon's pilot-engineers designed SkyView to have a clean and intuitive pilot interface so you can focus on the flying, not the technology. The New SkyView extends this philosophy with dedicated Knob TM and Autopilot Control Panels. SkyView Touch adds the convenience of touch when you want it but keeps a full set of buttons and joystick knobs for precise control in turbulence. And SkyView 10 software has dozens of new features like the new six-pack instruments shown above, and twin and large engine support.
The 7-inch G3X Touch display features a robust, infrared touchscreen display, which utilizes Garmin’s industry-leading experience in glass cockpit technology. Pilots and homebuilders who own amateur-built and light sport aircraft will be delighted with the 7-inch display, particularly if height and width constraints are of concern in the aircraft panel. Additionally, owners wanting multiple displays have the option of installing up to three displays, using any combination of 10.6-inch or 7-inch G3X Touch displays. Pilots will also notice a similar user-interface and seamless integration between the different size displays. Incorporating multiple G3X Touch displays into one panel provides added redundancy and enhanced functionality. When paired with a 10.6-inch display, the 7-inch G3X Touch system can serve as a dedicated display for a variety of features including traffic awareness, full-screen moving map, geo-referenced charts, engine information and even serve as a back-up primary flight display (PFD). !
