Garmin® G3X™ Experimental and LSA Glass Cockpit Adds Engine Sensors and Autopilot Interface

Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the
global leader in satellite navigation, today announced details for G3X
engine information system (EIS) and integrated autopilot interface. The
EIS and autopilot are designed specifically for the G3X and are an
affordable way for experimental and light sport aircraft (LSA) pilots to
bring Garmin integration and quality into their cockpit. The sensor kits
are expected to be available for all popular Lycoming, Continental,
Rotax, and Jabiru engines in February 2010.

The G3X is a non-TSO’d, fully-customizable glass cockpit for
installation in experimental/kitbuilt and LSA. This announcement was
made in conjunction with the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring,
Florida, and the G3X system will be on display in the Garmin, Flight
Design, Gobosh Aviation, Jabiru USA, and Tecnam exhibits.

“The G3X is the ideal glass cockpit for the experimental and LSA market
because it gives customers the flexibility they need to customize their
aircraft’s panel, while simultaneously offering the advantages that
Garmin brings such as innovation, integration, quality, reliability and
support,” said Gary Kelley, Garmin’s vice president of marketing.
“Regardless of the type of aircraft a customer operates, they should
never have to sacrifice features or services that enhance situational
awareness, improve safety of flight, or receive 24×7 customer support –
and with Garmin, they don’t have to.”

The G3X is a customizable PFD/MFD combination that features one, two or
three all-glass displays; magnetometer; ADAHRS (combined air data and
AHRS unit) and engine monitoring. Thanks to its building block design,
customers can create a high performance panel that is tailored to their
aircraft.

The added EIS software capability is expected to be available in
February to all current G3X customers through a free software download.
The G3X EIS software allows user customization of engine gauges, color
bands, and audible/visual alerts, and supports the following sensor
types:

• RPM

• Manifold pressure

• Oil temperature and pressure

• Coolant temperature and pressure

• Fuel pressure

• Up to six cylinder head temperature (CHT) inputs

• Up to six exhaust gas temperature (EGT) inputs

• Dual turbine inlet temperature

• Carburetor temperature

• Dual voltage inputs

• Dual current measurements (shunt or Hall effect)

• Fuel flow (single or differential)

• Trim position (three-axis)

• Flap position

• Up to four discrete (contact closure) inputs

• Up to four resistive fuel quantity inputs

• Up to two capacitive fuel quantity inputs

To support EIS features, complete sensor kits for all popular Lycoming,
Continental, Rotax, and Jabiru engines are expected to be available in
February 2010.

In addition to gaining engine monitoring capabilities, G3X customers
will also have the benefit of an integrated autopilot interface that
brings tried, tested and proven G1000-like features to LSA and
experimental aircraft owners. Customers who select the TruTrak GX Pilot
autopilot, which has been designed to integrate seamlessly with the G3X,
will enjoy advanced autopilot features that can be operated right from
the PFD. Using controls and status indications derived from Garmin’s
certified GFC 700, the G3X autopilot interface implements sophisticated
flight control modes including altitude preselect and capture, heading
hold, GPS navigation with turn anticipation, and coupled VNAV descents.
When used in conjunction with a GNS 430W or 530W, the G3X can also fly
coupled holding patterns, procedure turns, and WAAS approaches.

The basic G3X system is available at a starting street price of $9,995
and includes a GDU 370 glass display, GSU 73 ADAHRS and engine interface
unit, GMU 44 magnetometer and GTP 59 air temperature probe. The G3X
engine sensor kits for Lycoming, Continental, Rotax and Jabiru engines
are sold separately. A software update that adds EIS and autopilot
features is expected to be available for free from www.garmin.com
in February 2010.
