Top Flight Avionics is a Garmin certified dealer and a Certified Repair Station, which enables us to bring practical, safety-focused avionics upgrades to small aircraft owners. From single instruments to full glass panels and autopilots, we help you sort out when a repair is still safe.
Every installation is backed by more than 35 years of avionics experience, plus coordinated IFR, VFR and transponder/pitot-static certifications through The CERTMAN.
We take your questions seriously. Call us or click on the button to shoot us a quick email about your avionics needs. This list highlights Garmin products our customers commonly use; additional Garmin products may be available, though services and installation may vary.
Garmin avionics are an important investment, and the “best” setup isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why Top Flight Avionics starts with a conversation about your aircraft and your flying, allowing Top Flight Avionics to recommend the right Garmin options and provide a straightforward quote based on your mission. We’re a Certified Repair Station focused on long-term reliability, safety, and doing the job right.

Core Flight Instruments
GI 275 Electronic Flight Instrument
Replace aging vacuum-driven gauges with a solid-state, 3-1/8″ round electronic display that can serve as attitude, HSI/CDI, moving map or engine display. GI 275 keeps a classic round look while giving you glass-level reliability and options like synthetic vision and backup battery power.
Garmin G5 EFIS for Legacy Panels
G5 is a compact electronic flight instrument that replaces a traditional attitude indicator or DG/HSI in a standard 3-1/8″ hole. It cuts dependence on vacuum pumps, adds modern tapes and trend vectors, and can serve as the attitude source for a GFC 500 autopilot.
Autopilot and Flight Control
GFC 500 Digital Autopilot
GFC 500 is a digital, attitude-based autopilot designed for light piston aircraft. It delivers smooth pitch and roll control, altitude preselect, coupled approaches and safety features like Electronic Stability & Protection (ESP) and a dedicated Level (LVL) button — especially when paired with GI 275 or G5.

The GFC 600 is a fully digital, attitude-based autopilot designed for high-performance piston, twin and turbine aircraft. It uses solid-state attitude and air data instead of aging mechanical gyros and adds features like altitude preselect, indicated airspeed hold, VNAV when paired with a GTN/GTN Xi, yaw damping, a dedicated Level (LVL) button and optional envelope-style protections on supported airframes.
IFR Navigators/GPS Options
GTN™ 650Xi
The Garmin GTN™ 650Xi is a 4.9″ touchscreen IFR GPS/NAV/COMM that packs WAAS GPS, VHF nav, VHF comm and a moving map into a slim, radio-stack friendly unit. It’s ideal when you want the brains of a GTN Xi navigator but don’t have the panel space for a 750Xi.
Best For:
- Small panels that need a full IFR GPS/NAV/COMM in one box
- Upgrading from older GPS or nav/comm units to WAAS + LPV capability
- Pilots who want tight integration with Garmin glass and GFC 500/600 autopilots
GTN™ 750Xi Touchscreen Navigator
GTN™ 750Xi is a large-format IFR GPS/NAV/COMM that becomes the “brain” of your IFR panel. One bright touchscreen handles flight plans, procedures, radio tuning and moving maps, with fast processors and rich overlays. It’s ideal as the central hub in a Garmin panel.
Compact Touchscreen IFR Navigators
Garmin IFR GPS Options: GPS 175, GNX™ 375, GNC® 355
Three slim IFR GPS navigators, all with WAAS and LPV approach capability:
- GPS 175 – IFR GPS only (no radio or transponder), perfect when you just need WAAS and LPV.
- GNX 375 – IFR GPS plus a built-in 1090ES ADS-B Out/In transponder for traffic and weather.
- GNC 355 – IFR GPS plus a modern comm radio with frequency database and standby monitoring.
Flight Displays
Garmin G500 TXi
G500 TXi is a glass-cockpit solution for many piston aircraft, with 7″ and 10.6″ touchscreen displays configurable as PFD, MFD and optional engine indication system. It’s a natural upgrade path from round gauges to full Garmin glass.

G600 TXi for Larger Aircraft
G600 TXi brings TXi glass-panel capability to many higher-performance Class III piston and light turbine aircraft. It’s designed for more demanding missions and airframes needing a higher assurance level than G500 TXi.

G3X Touch for Certificated Aircraft
G3X Touch is a certified glass cockpit for many single-engine piston aircraft. It offers 7″ and 10.6″ touchscreen displays with synthetic vision, PFD/MFD layout and optional engine indication — a “big glass” feel in retrofit form.

Portable GPS and Wearables
aera® 760 Portable Aviation GPS
The aera® 760 is a 7″ portable aviation GPS that functions like a dedicated aviation tablet. It offers VFR/IFR mapping, georeferenced charts and wireless flight plan transfer to compatible Garmin panel avionics — a powerful add-on without panel surgery.
Garmin D2™ Air X15 Aviator Smartwatch
The Garmin D2™ Air X15 is a slim, Venu-style aviator smartwatch that puts METAR/TAF weather, aviation tools and health data on your wrist. It features a bright 1.4″ AMOLED display, built-in speaker and mic for calls and voice commands, aviation Morning Report, Direct-To and HSI-style navigation, plus connectivity to Garmin Pilot, compatible avionics and PlaneSync for remote aircraft status.
Best For:
- GA pilots who want aviation tools without a big “tactical” watch
- Pilots who already use Garmin Pilot and panel avionics
- Owners who like quick-glance weather, backup nav cues and 24/7 health tracking
Slimline Radios
GTR 205 & GNC 215® Slimline Radios
GTR 205 is a slim comm radio with a bright color display, standby monitoring and a rich frequency database. GNC 215® adds VHF nav/ILS capability in the same form factor, giving you modern comm and nav/comm in just 1.3″ of panel height.
