EFIS Market Scan: Some Price Breaks

Garmin didnt sit on its hands and scored an AML-STC for its experimental G5 electronic flight instrument, offering it as a primary mini-PFD and also a version thats a standalone electronic DG/HSI. Both are integral components to Garmins entry-level GFC500 autopilot.

Until came the STC’d versions of the Dynon D10A and Garmin G5, primary EFIS upgrades were a stretch for lower budgets. But those days are gone forever thanks to a logical certification process that’s shifted from old-school TSO to performance-based STCs.

As we predicted last year for budget autopilots (we covered them in the April 2018 Aviation Consumer), we now see growing competition in the EFIS market.
