Garmin Team X introduces the G5 electronic flight instrument
G5 Electronics Flight Instrument
We are extremely excited to announce the G5 Electronic Flight Instrument for the experimental and LSA markets! The compact and cost-effective G5 delivers exceptional performance and reliability serving as either a back-up instrument to G3X?, other EFIS systems, as a standalone primary flight instrument, and with optional autopilot integration when paired with a Garmin autopilot controller and servos. Boasting a bright, 3.5-inch sunlight readable liquid crystal display (LCD) with built-in GPS, the G5 displays attitude, ground track, altitude, airspeed, groundspeed, vertical speed, slip/skid, course (lateral) deviation, vertical deviation and incorporates a dedicated HSI page. Even more capabilities are available when integrated with a G3X glass flight displays integrated flight system. Minimum advertised price (MAP):
G5 Electronic Flight Instrument - $1199
G5 Optional Backup Battery - $150
G5 Installation Kit - $50

G5 documentation
The G5 can be installed in a standard 3-1/8-inch (79.4 mm.) hole and takes the place of many traditional flight instruments. The mounting ring even allows reuse of the standard instrument screw locations and the back of the unit includes recessed areas for the screws which secure the mounting ring to allow the G5 to mount flush to the instrument panel after it is inserted into the mounting ring and secured with a hex wrench through a single hole in the front. No panel removal or modification required!
An optional four-hour back-up battery can be included with a G5 installation to provide pilots with added assurance in the event of an aircraft electrical failure.
The easy to install G5 flight instrument measures 3-inches in depth when paired with the back-up battery and 2.1-inches without the battery. Installation is further simplified as the G5 incorporates pitot and static inputs that integrate with the aircraft?s existing pitot/static system. The G5 includes a built-in GPS antenna, however an external GPS antenna is optionally available if needed.
The fully integrated G5 electronic flight instrument serves as an independent and dissimilar flight instrument when paired with G3X and G3X Touch glass flight displays. In the unlikely loss of G3X primary ADAHRS data, the G5 doubles as a redundant ADAHRS source, which can supply the appropriate air data, and attitude information to G3X displays. Further expanding its redundant capabilities, autopilot mode annunciation can also display on the G5 flight instrument in the unlikely event of a complete G3X display loss.
G3X customers can also leverage the existing G3X magnetometer for heading information, alleviating the need to calibrate and install a separate magnetometer. Pilots who have configured airspeed bugs within their G3X system will notice the same airspeed configurations are displayed on the G5 automatically. Depending on ambient cockpit lighting, the G5 display automatically dims and brightens independently from G3X to ensure the display can be easily viewed in all lighting environments. A dedicated rotary knob allows for easy adjustments to altitude and heading bugs, as well as barometric altitude settings, which automatically syncs with the G3X or G3X Touch flight displays.
