Garmin G3X Touch™ Installation & Avionics Upgrades

Professional avionics installation and custom panel solutions for piston and experimental aircraft.

As a premier Garmin integrated flight deck, the G3X Touch™ serves as the nerve center for your aircraft. At Skye Avionics, we specialize in configuring these systems to merge your primary flight data, engine analytics, and navigation into a high-definition, tactile interface customized specifically for your airframe and mission profile.

Superior Flight Displays for Single-Piston Aircraft

Tear out the weight and unreliability of old mechanical gyros. We provide turn-key G3X Touch installations that transform your cockpit into a modern PFD/MFD powerhouse, complete with full engine monitoring (EIS) to give you total command of your piston single.

The system supports 10.6” or 7” touchscreen displays configured as PFD, MFD, or combined layouts.

When installed with compatible sensors, engine indication data is displayed through the integrated EIS.

Field installations are certified for hundreds of single-engine piston aircraft.

Standard SVX™ synthetic vision displays terrain, obstacles, airports, and other relevant map data.

When installed with a GFC™ 500 autopilot and compatible navigators, fully coupled approaches are supported.

Built-in Connext® technology supports wireless transfer of flight plans to the G3X Touch system.

Custom installation Packages Available

Our avionics team ensures each G3X Touch installation is properly configured, tested, and integrated with existing systems to support safe and efficient flight operations.

Build the Panel That's Tailored to your needs

EASY-TO-READ DISPLAYS

Bright, high-resolution displays present critical flight information clearly and intuitively, improving situational awareness in all lighting conditions.

Display Options

Whether your panel is tight on space or you want maximum real estate, we offer flexible layouts using 10.6-inch and 7-inch displays. Our team can set up your G3X as a dedicated PFD, a split-screen MFD, or a comprehensive EIS station depending on your needs.

Installation Options

Up to three 10.6-inch or 7-inch portrait-format displays can be installed, allowing for a scalable panel configuration that can grow as your avionics needs evolve.

Touch and Knob Control

Display functions can be controlled using intuitive touchscreen inputs, even while wearing gloves, or via traditional concentric knobs for tactile operation.

Fly Direct

Dedicated bezel buttons provide quick access to direct-to navigation functions, as well as menus for selecting nearby airports and waypoints.

Digital ADAHRS

Using solid-state sensors, the GSU 25D ADAHRS supplies reliable attitude, heading, path vector, and air data information while significantly reducing system size and weight compared to gyro-based instrumentation.

Critical Flight Information - Clearly In View

Primary Flight Data

Essential flight data — attitude, airspeed, altitude, heading, and vertical speed — are presented clearly on the modern glass cockpit display.

Synthetic Vision Technology

Synthetic vision technology displays three-dimensional representations of terrain, obstacles, and airport environments for situational awareness.

Highway in the Sky

Flight path guidance is clearly visualized using pathway-style indicators that show en route segments, aircraft track, and course intercepts for improved situational awareness.

Versatile Display

The display supports full-screen PFD and split PFD/MFD configurations. Layout selection is based on installed equipment and pilot preference.

COMPATIBLE WITH SMART GLIDE™ TECHNOLOGY

In installations with a compatible GTN™ Xi series navigator, Smart Glide™ engine-out navigation is supported. The system identifies nearby suitable airports and generates a direct routing option.

More Situational Awareness - For every flight

Dynamic Topography

The system references internal terrain, obstacle, and mapping databases to display surface features, airports, airspace, and other relevant data on the moving map.

Simple Pan and Zoom

Get all of your route information at your fingertips. Easily pan across the moving map by dragging your finger across the screen, or pinch to zoom to see more detail.

Interactive Map

Touch anywhere on the map, and, using your current position, the display shows the distance, bearing and time to that location on the map — as well as its elevation and GPS coordinates.

Terrain Alerting

A built-in database depicts terrain and obstacles with color-coded 2D or profile displays — or both — while visual and audible alerts indicate when potential terrain conflicts loom ahead.

SAFETAXI® DATABASE

Upon touchdown, our built-in SafeTaxi diagrams help you navigate airport environments safely, with your aircraft position overlaid onto taxiways, runways, ramps and more.

Charts in Context

Our standard FliteCharts^® procedure charts or optional Jeppesen^® style ChartView^™ plates — available with a subscription — provide georeferenced approaches and terminal procedures.

ADS-B “IN” AND “OUT”

G3X Touch can display ADS-B “In” weather and traffic information when connected with a GNX^™ 375 navigator, GTX^™ 345 transponder or GDL^® 50R or GDL 52R receiver (each sold separately).

Monitor traffic Targets

Pair G3X Touch with a compatible transponder (sold separately), and enjoy our proprietary TargetTrend^™ and TerminalTraffic^™ technologies to more intuitively monitor ADS-B traffic targets in the air and on the ground.

SIRIUSXM® WEATHER AND RADIO

Install a GDL 51R or GDL 52R SiriusXM receiver to display SiriusXM satellite weather coverage — as well as listen to audio entertainment³.

Get Powerful Powerplant Insight

EIS Indications

Display primary engine indications with the addition of a GEA^™ 24 module and appropriate sensors to show various engine, fuel and electrical gauges with easy-to-interpret color bands.

Support for popular engines

Engine sensor kits are available for most popular Lycoming or Continental 4- to 6-cylinder engines.

Lean Assist Mode

Optimize fuel economy while maintaining high efficiency and performance of your engine with lean assist mode (when using optional GEA 24).

Engine Data Logging

Download engine data to an SD^™ card in the display, or wirelessly share to the Garmin Pilot^™ app on your compatible smart device, and later upload it to the flyGarmin.com^® website for analysis by your maintenance shop’s service team.

Integrated avionics control - at your fingertips

Comm Radios

Add up to two COMM radios (such as the panel-mounted GTR 225, GNC^® 255, GNC 355 or GTN™ Xi series), and easily control active and standby COMM frequencies from the G3X Touch display.

Audio Panel

Control the advanced audio functions of the remote mount GMA^™ 245R audio panel (PMA) right from your G3X Touch display.

Transponder Control

Easily enter squawk codes via your G3X Touch display to control a transponder, such as our GNX 375 or GTX 345.

Advanced Autopilot

Pair G3X Touch with the affordable GFC 500 autopilot⁴ for safety-enhancing features, such as overspeed and underspeed protection, a dedicated LVL button and Garmin ESP^™ (Electronic Stability and Protection) corrective technology.

IFR Approach capability

Add LPV/LNAV/ILS approach capabilities when you pair G3X Touch with select Garmin navigators (each sold separately), such as GTN 650Xi, GTN 750Xi, GNX 375, GNC 355 or GPS 175.

Backup Attitude Instrument

Our optional GI 275 and G5 electronic flight instrument⁴ automatically syncs baro and bug settings. The G5 can drive your GFC 500 autopilot in the unlikely event of a display failure.

Reliable Reversionary

In the unlikely event of a display failure, reversionary mode enables the remaining flight displays, in multiple display installations, to present all essential flight information — including EIS data when installed.
