Garmin’s AXIS – an all-new family of flight displays, designed from the ground up to offer a highly integrated and flexible cockpit display solution for certified, experimental and LSA aircraft.
- Garmin has unveiled AXIS™, an entirely new family of highly integrated flight displays that combines flight display functionality with optional built-in IFR GPS, NAV/COMM radio and audio panel capability in a single display—an industry-first approach for certified, experimental and LSA aircraft.
- Designed to simplify avionics upgrades and reduce installation costs, AXIS offers a streamlined upgrade path from G3X Touch, leveraging many of the same sensors, modules, panel cutouts and mounting points while integrating multiple avionics functions into one display.
- AXIS incorporates Garmin’s award-winning safety innovations, including Smart Glide, Runway Occupancy Awareness (ROA) and optional SurfaceWatch runway monitoring technology to help pilots manage emergencies and avoid runway incidents.
-
The AXIS family of flight displays features three display sizes — 11.6-inch landscape, 8-inch portrait and 8-inch landscape— that include highly responsive touchscreen displays as well as physical controls for quick access to key functions. Each display can be configured as a primary flight display (PFD) or multi-function display (MFD) with an optional engine indication system (EIS).
-
The AXIS 11.6-inch flight displays have achieved FAA/EASA Technical Standard Order (TSO) and will be available in July. The 8-inch displays are expected to be available in early 2027. The FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) will cover hundreds of models of certified Part 23 Class I/II piston singles and twins.

“AXIS redefines Garmin’s flight display portfolio and brings industry-first capability to a single flight display. This game-changing flight display system delivers a modern, highly capable cockpit experience while significantly reducing time, complexity and cost of installation through integration of navigation, communication and audio functions into a single flight display. The visual design elements and crisp user interface bring together decades of Garmin innovation in a familiar yet modern design. AXIS sets the new standard for what pilots can expect from an integrated flight display system.” –Carl Wolf, Garmin Vice President Aviation Sales, Marketing, Programs & Support
