Enstrom Helicopter is offering new all-glass instrument panels for its 480B and 280FX rotorcraft. The manufacturer said on Tuesday that it will base the cockpit upgrade on Garmin’s G500H TXi electronic flight information system display.

A Mid-Continent Standby Attitude Module that provides redundant flight instrumentation in a small digital format backs up the G500 digital display. The latest cockpits will also feature the GTN 750 and 650 TXi GPS navcoms and remote-mounted transponders, as well as an audio panel and com radio options.
