Garmin G5 EFIS STC'd for Certified Aircraftc

Garmin’s G5 electronic flight instrument, which was introduced last year for experimental aircraft, has received FAA approved model list supplemental type certification for installation in 562 aircraft models on 82 type certificate data sheets. The approval aligns with the FAA’s recent moves to facilitate installation of safety equipment in light aircraft. Visitors to EAA AirVenture can see the G5 in the full Garmin avionics panel in Yingling’s Ascend remanufactured Cessna 172 at the AOPA pavilion. The airplane is the AOPA Sweepstakes airplane.
