2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION This section provides an overview of the line replaceable units (LRUs) installed by the G3X Touch EFIS Part 23 AML STC. The Garmin G3X Touch EFIS replaces the standard pneumatic instruments (altimeter, airspeed indicator (ASI) and vacuum attitude gyro indicator) and combines primary flight instrumentation, aircraft systems instrumentation, and navigational information, all displayed on one- or two-color Garmin Display Units (GDU) 4X0.
2.1.1 GDU 460 The Garmin Display Unit (GDU) 460 provides a central display and user interface for the G3X Touch EFIS Touch system. GDU 460 is a 10.6-inch landscape-oriented, panel mounted control and display unit with a GPS receiver. The GDU features a high-resolution infrared touchscreen user interface augmented by a set of dual-concentric knobs and dedicated buttons for commonly used functions.
2.1.2 GDU 470 The Garmin Display Unit (GDU) 470 provides a central display and user interface for the G3X Touch EFIS Touch system. The Garmin Display Unit (GDU) 470 is a 7-inch LCD portrait-oriented panel mounted control and display unit with a GPS receiver. The GDU features a high-resolution infrared touchscreen user interface augmented by a set of dual-concentric knobs and dedicated buttons for commonly used functions.
