Garmin GI 275 Displays

While the concept of glass displays replacing legacy electromechanical instruments isn’t new, Garmin has taken it a step further with the GI 275 series, basically creating nearly an integrated cockpit without having to redesign the panel for larger displays. The result is a product that can replace attitude indicators, attitude direction indicators, horizontal situation indicators (HSIs), and course deviation indicators (CDIs), and it can also replace engine instruments as a primary engine indication system (EIS) as well as connect with Garmin and third-party autopilots.

Information available on the GI 275 includes synthetic vision (optional), traffic, weather, terrain, SafeTaxi airport diagrams, and multifunction display-type maps. One GI 275 can also be a four-in-one instrument that can be installed as a standby display with a 60-minute backup battery. As a standby, the GI 275 includes a VFR GPS for backup navigation.
