We visit Garmin’s hangars in Gardner, Kansas, at New Century AirCenter. This is where Garmin flies and certifies new avionics and aircraft. We take a tour of Garmin’s flight test hangars and go for a flight in a Cessna Citation CJ2, equipped with an entirely new avionics suite, observing how FAA Data Comm works in the air.

New developments and products in avionics, specifically about aircraft electronics in the cockpit.
