Garmin is now offering aircraft manufacturers a new option for its G2000, G3000 and G5000 flight decks—the GTC 580 touchscreen avionics/systems controller that also doubles as a standby flight display. Cirrus Aircraft is the first OEM to select the new GTC 580, specifically for its SF50 Vision single-engine jet. The Vision's Cirrus Perspective Touch flight deck features three GTC 580s mounted side-by-side under the jet's two 14-inch Garmin displays.
