Don’t overthink the chore of wiping down the cabin. The favorite store-brand disinfecting wipes work we’ll for cleaning control yokes, throttle handles and anything else germy hands touch—except display screens. Hit those with a heavy-duty cleaner and you might as we’ll pull the whole unit from the panel and ship it away for a flat-rate display lens replacement.
Garmin expects to see more of these repairs given the awareness of reducing germs so it’s issued Service Advisory 2051, which is guidance for cleaning and disinfecting its products, while hopefully reducing the spread of disease in the cockpit. Not following the guidance could void the product warranty.
