The G500 TXi is Garmin’s glass panel solution for Class I and II general aviation aircraft. It replaces aging six-pack instruments with bright 7″ or 10.6″ touchscreen displays that can combine PFD, MFD and engine data in flexible layouts. When paired with other Garmin avionics, it becomes the visual centerpiece of a coordinated, safety-focused panel.

What is the G600 TXi?
The Garmin G600 TXi is a touchscreen flight display system built for certified aircraft upgrades. It’s available in a large 10.6″ display and 7″ display options, and it can be configured to show the key information you need (like your primary flight data and maps) in layouts that fit your panel and your flying.
It’s designed for aircraft that require the higher software assurance level typically associated with Part 23 Class 3 aircraft (commonly up to 12,500 lbs).
Why Pilots Upgrade to TXi
If your panel feels “behind the airplane,” or you’re tired of chasing issues tied to older systems, G600 TXi is built to help you:
- Clean up the scan with a modern PFD/MFD layout
- Reduce workload with faster map rendering and intuitive touch + knob control options
- Modernize without overbuilding — start with one display and expand later (in many installations/configurations)
Key Benefits
Touchscreen + familiar controls
Use touchscreen and/or knobs to quickly get to the pages and views you need.
Flexible PFD/MFD layouts
On a single 10.6″ display, you can run PFD + MFD split-screen on one unit.
Optional engine data (EIS) when you want it
Engine, fuel, and electrical information can be shown as a vertical data strip on select split-screen layouts, or on a dedicated TXi EIS display depending on your configuration.
HSI mapping and overlays
HSI mapping can place an “MFD-like” map view inside your HSI area, with options for overlays like weather/traffic/terrain and airport diagrams (equipment-dependent).
Popular Ways to Configure G600 TXi
Option A: One 10.6″ display (simple, powerful)
- Split-screen PFD/MFD on a single display
Option B: Add engine information (EIS) without clutter
- EIS as a strip alongside the PFD/MFD (config-dependent)
- Or a dedicated TXi EIS display (7″ options are commonly used)
Option C: Dual-display setup (maximum readability)
- Full-screen PFD on one display, with MFD/EIS split on the other (common split styles are described in TXi system info)
Integration That Makes the Panel Feel “One System”
TXi displays are designed to integrate closely with Garmin GTN / GTN Xi navigators for a more unified cockpit workflow (navigation/comm/display continuity).
If you’re planning a bigger modernization, Top Flight can also help you plan the full ecosystem (navigator, autopilot, ADS-B, audio, standby, engine monitoring) so your upgrades work together instead of feeling piecemeal.
Reliability & Redundancy (Peace of Mind)
In multi-display installations, TXi systems can support reversionary modes so a single display can show primary flight data (and engine data if equipped) if another screen fails. TXi displays can also include backup GPS capability for added redundancy.
Installation at Top Flight Avionics
(what to expect)
Top Flight Avionics is a certified FAA repair station, and Marty’s approach is consult-first, not “add to cart.” Typical flow:
- Discovery call (aircraft + mission + what you want to fix)
- Panel plan + options (right-sized, not overbuilt)
- Straightforward quote (based on your aircraft + configuration)
- Schedule + installation
- Test, documentation, and walk-through so you’re comfortable using it
Bonus: If you’re due for pitot-static/transponder checks or IFR/VFR certifications, we can plan those around your avionics work so everything lines up.
FAQs
Is the G600 TXi “one size fits all”?
No — approvals and best configuration vary by aircraft and existing avionics. That’s why we start with your make/model and your mission.
Can I start small and expand later?
Often, yes. TXi is known for scalable configuration options.
Does it support engine monitoring?
It can, via optional TXi EIS configurations depending on display/layout choices and engine compatibility.
Does it work with Garmin GTN navigators?
TXi is designed to integrate with GTN/GTN Xi series for a more unified touchscreen cockpit experience.
How do I know what it will cost?
We don’t post “one number” because configuration, approvals, and existing equipment matter. Marty will quote your specific aircraft and goals.
Equipment compatibility and installation approvals vary by aircraft make/model and current avionics. We’ll confirm eligibility and configuration options before quoting or scheduling.
