Garmin G500 TXi

It’s a clean-sheet touchscreen design. One that builds on the proven capabilities of Garmin's original G500 glass flight display series to offer you a vastly expanded array of features, options and panel layout possibilities. Backed by Garmin's No. 1-ranked product support team, the next-generation G500 TXi lineup makes it easy to configure a reliable glass cockpit system that can grow with your needs without overstretching your budget.

MODERNIZE YOUR PISTON SINGLE OR TWIN

Going with Glass Just Got Easier

Designed specifically for FAR Part 23 Class 1/Class 2 aircraft (singles and twins weighing less than 6,000 lbs), G500 TXi glass touchscreens integrate with the GTN touchscreen GPS/Nav/Comm series¹ to provide a fully certified glass suite solution. Reliable attitude/heading reference system(s) (AHRS) replaces the old-style, maintenance-prone mechanical gyros in your system. Available in 7” portrait or landscape orientations — and in a larger 10.6” horizontal format — the G500 TXi displays offer a variety of configurations to fit your panel and budget. The 10.6” displays accommodate PFD information and a multifunction display (MFD) within the same unit. Optional engine, fuel and electrical readouts can also be viewed in a vertical strip alongside the PFD/MFD information on the 10.6” display. The 7” portrait format can be dedicated to PFD (with HSI map), MFD or EIS displays. And the 7” landscape format is configured to provide a dedicated, standalone EIS display.
