Dual G5 Installations Offer Added Redundancy with Dual ADAHRS and Batteries and the potential to eliminate the failure-prone vacuum system.
Maxcraft is pleased to announce that Garmin is now offering the G5 electronic flight instrument for installation as a replacement directional gyro (DG) or horizontal situation indicator (HSI) in type-certificated fixed-wing general aviation aircraft. When paired with select VHF Nav/Comms or GPS navigators, the G5 can be considered primary for displaying magnetic heading, VOR/LOC guidance and /or GPS course guidance as well as distance and groundspeed. Please note that the G5 for Certificated Aircraft AML STC does not include support for autopilot interfaces.
