ICON Aircraft, which manufactures the ICON A5 Light Sport Aircraft, is offering the Garmin G3X Touch flight display as a new option on 2021 ICON A5 Limited Edition aircraft.
The G3X Touch 7-inch flight display, which will become available in early 2021, replaces the Garmin aera 796.
The new system offers advanced features and increased situational awareness while seamlessly integrating with other Garmin avionics, enabling a 2-axis autopilot as an option on the A5, according to company officials.

“Our owners have put more than 20,000 total hours on their A5s, and one theme we’ve heard from them — in addition to the incredible fun they’re having — is the desire for an upgraded avionics and navigation package,” said Jason Huang, president.
The Garmin G3X Touch flight display features a high-resolution screen with an infrared touch-control interface that brings all essential flight information to your fingertips. The G3X Touch provides controls for the radios, transponder, and navigation on a single display, while the Garmin GMC 507 control panel for the optional autopilot manages a variety of advanced in-flight modes that significantly decrease workload when activated, ICON officials note.
To celebrate the launch of this initiative, ICON is offering a special ownership program that provides 50% off upgraded avionics packages for orders placed by the end of February 2021 (U.S. deliveries only).
I love the look of the iCon5. I wish I was still flying, I would buy one. I also would add the G3x. the new avionic looks good. I sold my light sport airplane in 2017 due to Health issues. and I have not flown since.
