This changes everything. Until recently, the only way to fly with an all-Garmin glass cockpit was to buy a factory-new OEM aircraft. But, as so many builders kept reminding us: Kitbuilts are new aircraft, too. Responding to numerous customer requests for this cutting-edge technology in a version customized for experimental aircraft, Garmin developed the G900X. As a result, builders of many popular kitbuilt models including Epic, Lancair, Vans RV, Comp Air, Velocity, and Seawind can now step up to a fully integrated glass flight deck solution tailored to their aircraft. The process is further simplified by a growing network of Garmin G900X Distributors across the U.S., whove been serving the home built market for years to provide you with G900X installation and support. With this core team of authorized technicians providing panel design, fabrication, wiring harness, test equipment, tooling and direct one-on-one customer field assistance, Garmin gives builders the total package for successful completion of their new glass cockpit kitplane.
Integrated avionics suite for kitplanes.
Guidance under glass. The dealer-supplied G900X system comes with everything needed to equip your kit-supported aircraft with a fully integrated Garmin avionics suite and dual electronic flight displays. The system can be interfaced with most popular autopilots currently used on experimental aircraft serving as a selection hub for available nav inputs onboard, as well as providing course deviation and vertical descent indicators, plus heading bug and GPS roll steering information. Leveraging technology from Garmins highly successful G1000 OEM-installed system, the G900X puts a wealth of graphical flight information at the kitplane pilots fingertips.

SVT adds perspective. As mentioned earlier, Garmin SVT synthetic vision technology is available on the G900X. And it can make a world of difference when outside visibility is low or nonexistent. Using sophisticated graphics modeling to recreate a topographic landscape from the systems terrain-alerting database, SVT gives pilots a clear 3-D visual depiction of ground and water features, airports, obstacles, traffic and more all in realistic dimensional detail on the pilots PFD. With SVT, pilots can see and
The pilots primary flight display (PFD) on the G900X seamlessly integrates all situational information in reference to aircraft position, speed, attitude, vertical rate, altitude, steering and flight progress. Garmin SVT helps simplify approaches into unfamiliar airports. Runway surfaces, numbers and thresholds are clearly depicted in 3-D. Also, the destination runway in your active flight plan is outlined in white just so theres no confusion.
functions are selectable, allowing the pilot to add or deselect overlays to build at will the map view he or she prefers for any given phase of flight. For MFD navigation, Garmin FliteCharts electronic terminal procedures charts and approach plates come pre-loaded on the system. Airways, approaches, departure and arrival routes FliteCharts put the full IFR spectrum at your fingertips. Likewise, on the ground, built-in SafeTaxi airport diagrams for over 850 U.S. locations help pilots navigate unfamiliar airfields with confidence by graphically pinpointing the aircrafts current location and direction of travel on ramps, taxiways and runways. For system redundancy, the G900Xs PFD and MFD screens are designed to provide a reversionary mode should failure or shutdown of either display occur. In reversionary mode the remaining operable control/display unit is reconfigured to show the PFD symbology with engine and fuel parameters on the left-hand side of the display. Popup windows allow additional mapping, checklist or other desired inputs to remain visible on the PFD. Optional satellite weather. To see whats brewing on the weather front, builder/pilots can opt to combine their G900X system with a Garmin data link receiver for the latest in XM WX Satellite Weather information (subscription required). With this option, graphical depictions of NEXRAD radar summaries, METARs, TAFs, TFRs, winds aloft, echo tops, surface precipitation, lightning strikes, storm cell data, and more, can be accessed anywhere in the U.S., regardless of altitude. Users can zoom the NEXRAD screen range out to 2500 nm for nationwide monitoring of weather patterns. And for cabin entertainment enroute, the G900X also provides a user interface offering more than 170 channels of digital-quality audio programming, when installed with Garmins GDL 69A version XM receiver (subscription required). Putting it all together. With your Garmin G900X distributors kitplane installation package, you get everything but guesswork. From wiring harness and detailed drawings to customized brackets for AHRS and magnetometer mounts whatever it takes to assure a straightforward, by-the-numbers installation, your authorized distributor is equipped to provide. You can count on their one-on-one advice and support through the process including an on-site final systems checkout. Just add the finishing touches, and your state-of-the-art glass cockpit is ready to fly.

avoid terrain features or structural hazards that may encroach upon their projected flight path. So, its a great virtual reality aid to situational awareness. Other design highlights of the G900X suite include a detailed moving map display, with position derived by a Class 3 WAAS-certified GPS system. In addition, complete 16 watt VHF comm, VOR/ILS and digital transponder inputs are provided with frequency and code selection controlled by tuning knobs and function keys on the dual big screen LCD cockpit displays. Between the displays, most installations feature Garmins slimline vertical audio panel. This all-digital unit features high-quality sound, plus a unique record/playback function to help ensure accurate readback of ATC clearances. Seamlessly integrating control and display of virtually all avionics and instrument functions, Garmins big, bright XGA-quality (1024 x 768 pixel) flat-panel displays offer brilliant color, wide side-to-side viewing angles, advanced backlighting and crisp readability, even in bright sunlight. As typically configured, two of these 10.4-inch diagonal displays are placed side-by-side on the panel to put all essential flight situation, navigation and sensor data right in front of the pilot. The left hand glass panel contains the pilots Primary Flight Display (or PFD) for attitude, airspeed, climb rate, altitude and course/heading information while the right hand screen serves as a
For kitplane builders who see the big picture, this is where it all comes together: With Garmins G900X integrated glass cockpit package.
Garmin FliteCharts electronic approach plates and terminal procedures charts come preloaded on the G900X. Optional ChartView is also supported via JeppView subscription service.
