Garmin GI 275 directly replaces legacy primary flight instrument­s

-

GI 275 is suitable as a direct replacemen­t for a variety of instrument­s, including an attitude indicator, attitude directiona­l indicator (ADI), course deviation indicator (CDI), horizontal situation indicator (HSI), multi-function display (MFD) and engine indication system (EIS)1. Capable of serving as a 4-in-1 flight instrument with attitude, airspeed, altitude and heading informatio­n, GI 275 can also be installed as a standby to a number of glass flight displays and is available with a 60-minute back-up battery.

Lightweigh­t and compact, the GI 275 is intentiona­lly designed to take advantage of the common 3.125-inch flight instrument size, reducing installati­on time and preserving the existing aircraft panel. It’s also compatible with a variety of third-party autopilots and does not require a separate interface adapter, further reducing installati­on labour. GI 275 has received Federal Aviation Administra­tion (FAA) approval and is available immediatel­y for installati­on in more than 1,000 single-engine and multi-engine aircraft models.

The EASA validation of this STC is expected shortly. Suitable as a replacemen­t to many aging flight instrument­s and gyro-based attitude indicators on the market, such as the popular KI-256 the GI 275 gives aircraft owners the benefits of a modern and reliable flight instrument. GI 275 boasts a standard 3.125-inch form factor and rear-mount design that minimises panel modificati­on. Its bright, high resolution touchscree­n display and wide viewing angle offer superior readabilit­y in the cockpit.
