The FAA has approved a supplemental type certificate for the installation of Garmin GI 275 electronic flight instruments in the MD Helicopters MD500D/E and MD530F/F Plus, further expanding the Part 27 approvals for the GI 275 series.

The GI 275 is a direct replacement for the helicopters’ original instruments including the attitude indicator, course deviation indicator, and heading and horizontal situation indicators. Installation is simplified: the GI 275 fits in a standard 3.125-inch flight instrument panel hole.
