Sized to fit standard 3 1/8 inch instrument cutout
Rotary knob on the unit allows for easy adjustments
Can be used as a primary EFIS attitude indicator or DG/HSI display (see P/N chart below for DG/HSI models) — or as a fully integrated backup flight instrument for G3X™, G3X Touch™ or other Experimental/LSA glass cockpits
Provides standalone or backup autopilot control, allowing coupled GPS approaches to be flown or continued in the event of a primary display loss
Built-in GPS receiver and optional GPS antenna available
Replaces traditional electromechanical backup instruments
Combines flight information in one display, consolidates situational reference for aircraft attitude, vertical speed, altitude, airspeed, slip/skid, and baro setting
When integrated with the G3X system, the G5 can provide heading, course deviation, flight director cues, autopilot mode annunciation, turn coordination, glideslope/glidepath, altitude and airspeed bug settings, and more
Teamed with Garmin autopilot servos and the GMC 307/305 mode controller interface, the G5 provides backup or standalone autopilot function
Can be connected through a serial port to a Garmin portable GPS such as aera 660/795/796 to enable the autopilot to couple laterally to the flight plan and vertically to support VNAV descents to pattern altitude
G5 has 2 pilot-selectable main page formats: a PFD page and a DG (directional gyro) or HSI (horizontal situation indicator) page
VHF or GPS navigation inputs are required to drive the HSI display; for GPS interface, an optional GAD™ 29 navigation data adapter is required
Optional lithium-ion battery backup sustains G5 with up to 4 hours of emergency power
LPM (Lighting Protection Module) version available to protect G5 from lightning strikes and replaces time consuming wire harness component buildup procedure.
Designed specifically for the experimental amateur-built (EAB) and light sport aircraft (LSA) markets
Dual G5 installation offers reversionary display capability plus the added redundancy of dual ADAHRS and dual back-up batteries
An STC permission letter will be granted for each aircraft in which the G5 for certified aircraft is installed
To retrieve this STC letter, the single-use registration code included in the standard kit must be submitted by following the outlined steps
