G3X Touch™
for Certificated Aircraft

The G3X Touch™ for Certificated Aircraft brings a modern, integrated glass cockpit into certificated single-engine aircraft. With 7″ and 10.6″ touchscreen displays that can act as PFD, MFD and optional engine display, plus standard synthetic vision, it’s a big leap forward from round gauges and standalone instruments. When paired with Garmin navigators and autopilots, G3X Touch can give your piston single a “mini flight deck” feel.

Why Pilots Choose
G3X Touch™ for Certificated Aircraft

Owners of single-engine pistons used to watch the advanced integrated flight decks go only into new aircraft. G3X Touch Certified changes that by making a modern, integrated Garmin glass cockpit available as a retrofit on hundreds of popular models.

The displays are large, bright and designed around a touchscreen workflow, so synthetic vision, maps, charts and engine data are right at your fingertips. For many owners, G3X Touch is the first time their panel feels like one coordinated system instead of a collection of separate boxes.

At Top Flight Avionics, we help you decide whether a G3X Touch or TXi-based solution makes the most sense for your aircraft, your autopilot and your long-term plans.

What the G3X Touch™ Display Can Do in Your Panel

PFD/MFD with Synthetic Vision

G3X Touch can serve as your primary flight display and multifunction display, presenting attitude, airspeed, altitude and navigation information alongside detailed moving maps and charts. Synthetic vision comes standard, providing a 3D view of terrain, obstacles and runways that can be especially reassuring at night and in reduced visibility.

Engine Indication System (EIS)

With the EIS option and proper sensor installation, G3X Touch can consolidate engine, fuel and electrical data into one color-coded display. This reduces panel clutter and makes it easier to monitor engine trends and catch issues early.

Charts and Data

In supported regions, G3X Touch can display IFR enroute charts, VFR charts and airport diagrams on its large-format screens, reducing your dependence on separate devices. That “big glass” real estate makes it easier to interpret complex information quickly.

How the G3X Touch™ Helps Pilots

Safety & Awareness

  • Standard synthetic vision for terrain awareness
  • Large, bright displays that make critical info easier to interpret
  • Integrated engine data to spot trends and exceedances sooner

Workload & Flow

  • Touchscreen workflow designed for how pilots actually fly
  • Fewer separate instruments to manage during busy IFR phases
  • Charts, maps and flight data in one integrated view

Value & Future Upgrades

  • Brings a “new-aircraft” glass cockpit experience into existing airframes
  • Cooperates with GTN navigators and GFC 500 autopilots for a highly integrated system
  • Strong selling point for the right buyer if you decide to sell later

The G3X Touch Works Great
with These Garmin Solutions

  • GTN™ 750Xi/650Xi Navigators – Provide IFR navigation and radio control, while G3X Touchbecomes the primary glass interface for synthetic vision, maps and charts.
  • GFC™ 500 Autopilot – Couples tightly with G3X Touch, using shared attitude and navigation data for smooth, coordinated flight.
  • GI 275 / G5 – Can serve as backup flight instruments or additional display redundancy.
  • GSR 56 & Connext Services – In the right airframes, satellite connectivity and data services can round out a very capable cockpit.

Installed and Certified by
Top Flight Avionics

A G3X Touch™ installation is a major project — wiring, panel work, integration, documentation. Top Flight Avionics brings the experience to manage that complexity without losing sight of the basics: reliability, safety and maintainability.

For G3X Touch™ projects, we:

  • Confirm your aircraft’s eligibility and applicable STCs
  • Help you choose screen sizes, positions and EIS options
  • Integrate with your existing or planned Garmin navigators, transponders and autopilots
  • Perform careful ground and flight testing so everything works as a system

The CERTMAN can then perform or coordinate the required IFR, VFR and transponder/pitot-static checks so your new glass panel is fully compliant and documented.
