Garmin has received FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) approval for the installation of its GI 275 electronic flight instrument in Airbus AStar helicopters, including the AS350BA, B2, B3, and B3E variants. 

The GI 275 is a direct replacement for legacy instruments such as the primary attitude indicator, course deviation indicator (CDI), horizontal situation indicator (HSI), or multifunction display (MFD). Sized to fit standard 3.125-inch flight instrument openings, the unit features a touchscreen display and interfaces with the flight instrument via the touchscreen and a dual concentric knob for access to a variety of key functions.
