Cirrus Aircraft has been incrementally updating the flight deck in the popular SR-series (SR20/SR22/SR22T) airplanes and now Garmin has an upgrade for planes with the original Garmin Perspective integrated avionics to the more capable Perspective+ suite. The upgrade—retrofittable in the field via a pending STC—is fair game for Cirrus SR Series G3, G5 and some […]
Nine years in the making, Garmin reinvented procedural charts with less clutter and a more intuitive and dynamic presentation.
Garmin filled a void with its GI-275 EIS (Engine Instrument System) for vintage aircraft applications this week by adding select 7-cylinder radial engines to its AML-STC. The GI-275 EIS version is a standard 3-inch instrument (no cutting required) that serves as an all-in-one primary engine and fuel display. It displays electrical data, oil temperature and […]
Garmin unveils SmartCharts, dynamic aeronautical charts in Pilot app, offering real-time scaling, clarity and geo-referenced profiles.
Garmin’s new G3000 PRIME integrated flight deck has performance upgrades that cater to single-pilot ops and incorporates its latest safety apps.
Garmin’s second-gen G3000 PRIME integrated avionics suite will be the new flight deck in the Textron Citation CJ4 Gen3 biz jet (and likely many more applications) and it puts a sharp focus on single-pilot ops and runway awareness.
There’s more inventory now than there was during the supply chain crisis, but you’ll still pay top dollar for current-production WAAS GPS.
With Cirrus reaching 10,000 aircraft delivered, that means there are plenty of aging SR20 and SR22 models in need of refurbishment, including modern avionics upgrades. One well-regarded avionics shop—Nexair Avionics in Plymouth, Massachusetts—has been specializing in avionics retrofits for Cirrus models for years and this year it brought one to AirVenture. It’s a 2007 SR22T […]
Older planes take lots of creative work, and in aviation lingo that translates to dollars and time in finding parts, plus labor for upkeep, etc.
We don’t see many reasons to start yanking this utilitarian navigator from the panel, but realize that a failed display could send it to the scrap bin.
Last year around this time, Garmin sounded the warning horn that it won’t be able to keep fully supporting the GNS 430—perhaps the most popular avionics unit of all time.
