What can a Garmin G5 replace?
The G5 can only replace the attitude indicator OR the turn coordinator. You can’t yank both. Mine replaced my TC because I had to keep my AI for the autopilot. Installation is simple and easy; G5 integrates with the aircraft’s existing pitot/static system and displays attitude, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, slip/skid, turn rate, ground track, configurable V-speed references, barometric setting and selected altitude as well as visual alerts upon arriving at the pre- .Available for installation by your A&P or other qualified avionics technician.

Garmin G5 install kit with lightning protection includes mounting ring, d-sub connector, backshell, hardware, CAN BUS termination plug, and micro SD card.The G5 for certificated aircraft is approved for installation as a replacement for the aircraft’s primary attitude indicator or turn coordinator via a Garmin-held STC for hundreds of certificated fixed-wing aircraft models.
What is the Garmin G5 used for?
Boasting a bright, 3. LCD display, G5 is approved as a primary source for aircraft attitude information. Plus, it serves as a secondary source for altitude, airspeed and vertical speed — all in a single instrument. The G5 calculates aircraft attitude using information from its built-in inertial sensors. The G5 also uses GPS and airspeed data to provide the most accurate attitude information. The G5 should display valid attitude within the first minute of power-up.The Garmin G5 electronic flight instrument has received FAA approval to be installed as a replacement HSI in type-certificated fixed-wing general aviation aircraft.

The G5 had been approved in July 2016 as a non-technical standard order attitude indicator.To provide even more situational awareness, G5 is also approved for installation as a replacement heading indicator/directional gyro (HI or DG) or horizontal situation indicator (HSI) in your panel.While the G5 is a great ADI or HSI, the all-new GI 275 has many more functions, compatibilities, and features. The GI 275 is available as a moving map display with CDI, a primary flight display, an HSI, and even a certified replacement engine monitor.
Is the Garmin G5 IFR certified?
Approved for VFR and IFR flight operations, the Garmin G5 electronic flight instrument brings new levels of reliability, affordability, system integration and situational awareness to the cockpits of most single- and twin-engine general aviation aircraft under 6,000 pounds. Designed by our dedicated “Team X” engineering group specifically for the experimental amateur-built (EAB) and light sport aircraft (LSA) markets, the affordable G5 electronic flight instrument delivers exceptional performance, reliability and ease of installation as an all-in-one backup or primary “glass cockpit” .
