At Sun 'n Fun 2019 in Lakeland, Florida, Garmin revealed the first STC-certified G3X Touch glass cockpit in a Grumman Tiger. The certified G3X Touch suite was revealed to Garmin dealers last week and this week it's showing off the system to potential buyers in the Grumman, which is parked in the Garmin exhibit at the show. Aviation Consumer Editor Larry Anglisano took a look at the aircraft with Garmin's Jessica Koss and prepared this show video.

With a panel like that, why even buy a new plane!?!

@Alex-us2vw 5 жыл бұрын

If it’s a used Piper I guess you’d want a new plane so the wings don’t fall off lol. Otherwise this is an awesome modernization kit for legacy airframes that aren’t prone to inflight break ups

I don't understand this kind of thing either... it's like $91000 worth of screens that basically do what a $300 iPad mini does with foreflight, stuffed (very handsomely) in a $45000 airframe. I don't understand this industry, this hobby... we need to say enough is enough.

Something that I appreciate with steam gauges is being able to see all of my engine instruments at a glance. I don't have to push a button or screen to check them. Are pilots just in the habit of regularly tapping over to it?

I've looked at Tigers in the used market, but the panels are so outdated the few that are for sale aren't worth getting excited about. I'm surprised Garmin didn't put some in new baffles and spuce up the engine compartment.

Oh, aren't you sweet. $35k installed eh? Bwahaha, my friend, you are looking at a $60k+ panel all day long. You even heard her say the G3X 10" _STARTED_ at $10k and the G3X 7" _STARTED_ at $7k.

@@manofspokane4340 I used to read/hear about the labour cost is typically 1x the cost of the equipment. This isn't that far off; mine was 85% the cost of my Garmin setup. People are looking at a lot of cash. But there is a market. Check out AeroVonics and their upcoming AV-30.

If you cannot afford the plane or the avionics, then oh well! Everyone is not broke!

@Mistamannfour 5 жыл бұрын

Nice panel upgrade, too bad it makes no sense to upgrade a tiger to this degree. The price for just the avionics is $38.4k not including tax. Now add to that the cost of metal fab to add the new avionics, plus removal of the vacuum system, and then the 1x cost of labor, you are looking at about the cost of purchasing a tiger at $60k!

Expensive? Yes, but so is a new 172. Suddenly, this seems reasonably priced, by comparison. You buy what you can afford. Much rather “recycle” an older 182 or 206 with a panel like this than buy a new airplane.
