Team X. That’s Garmin’s new engineering team who’s dedicated to designing products for experimental and light sport aircraft. Long-time design and support engineers at Garmin, they’re also pilots and homebuilders—creating the kind of smart, cost-friendly avionics they’d want for their own aircraft.
The result of their brain power is a new line of products designed as add-ons to the existing G3X integrated glass panel. While we wonder how much growth potential really exists in the shrinking LSA and experimental markets, these new products bring impressive capability at an impressively low price point.
