  • SLIDE SHOW COMPONENT
    A touchscreen Garmin G3X primary flight display/multifunction display provides a wealth of flight, navigation, and engine information to the pilot. The Wipaire landing gear advisory system on the right side of the G3X shows four blue lights meaning the wheels are up for water takeoffs and landings. Four green lights would indicate the wheel are down for landing on a hard surface.
