Garmin GI 275 certified for Falcon 7X

The GI 275 can replace the original secondary flight display configured as an attitude-direction indicator with synthetic vision, and a second GI 275 on the co-pilot side can work as a multifunction display.

"We are delighted to collaborate with Dassault Aviation and bring the GI 275 to the Falcon cockpit," said Carl Wolf, Garmin vice president of aviation sales and marketing. "The popular GI 275 redefines the capabilities of a standby flight display, and we're excited that almost 300 aircraft in the Falcon line globally will now have the opportunity to be retrofitted with this integrated and intuitive solution."

Garmin said the unit will integrate with the existing flight control, inertial navigation, air data, and flight management systems to provide more redundancy and options than the previous secondary flight display. Configured as an MFD, the GI 275 displays pages including a course deviation indicator, horizontal situation indicator, and HSI with a moving map. The instrument can transfer flight plan information from the FMS to an electronic flight bag via Bluetooth connection.

Garmin said the GI 275 can be installed at Dassault maintenance, repair, and overhaul facilities, with downtimes lasting approximately one week because the installation is minimally invasive.
