Why AXIS
A new generation of Garmin glass
AXIS brings more display area, more screen-format options, and optional built-in IFR GPS/NAV/COMM and audio panel functionality to the aircraft categories where G3X Touch found its largest audience. For owners of piston singles and twins, that means a modern, highly integrated panel with fewer separate boxes.
Because AXIS shares the same panel cutout and screw points as G3X Touch and can reuse many existing sensors, owners with an existing Garmin panel have a practical upgrade path. If you are starting from a legacy panel, we will help you decide whether AXIS, G3X Touch, or G500 TXi fits your airplane and budget best. Read our guide to AXIS-compatible aircraft or the AXIS vs G3X Touch vs G500 TXi comparison to learn more.
FAQ
Garmin AXIS Questions
Do you install the Garmin AXIS Flight Display System?
Yes. As an authorized Garmin service center at KPTK, our avionics team supports Garmin AXIS installation planning and service. Because AXIS is a new product, we help owners verify aircraft eligibility and plan the installation timeline.
Is my aircraft eligible for Garmin AXIS?
Garmin targets AXIS at certified Part 23 Class I/II aircraft and experimental aircraft, a category that includes popular models like the Cessna 172 and 182, Piper PA-28 Archer, and Beechcraft Bonanza. Your exact model and serial number must be confirmed against Garmin’s approved model list, which we can help verify.
Can I upgrade from G3X Touch to AXIS?
Garmin positions AXIS as an easy upgrade from G3X Touch, sharing the same panel cutout and screw points and reusing many existing sensors and components. We can review your current G3X Touch installation and outline what an AXIS upgrade would involve.
