Garmin has received supplemental type certification (STC) from the FAA for its GI 275 electronic flight instrument for Bell 407 and Robinson R66 helicopters. It is available for retrofit through authorized dealers and comes with a two-year warranty. 

The GI 275 is a direct replacement for legacy primary flight instruments, including the primary attitude indicator, course deviation indicator (CDI), horizontal situation indicator (HSI), and multifunction display (MFD), and is sized to accommodate a standard 3.125-inch flight instrument display. Optional Helicopter Synthetic Vision Technology (HSVT) overlays a 3D topographic view of terrain, traffic, obstacles, power lines, and airport signposts within the GI 275 attitude display.
