Garmin has introduced the GCO 14 carbon monoxide (CO) detector, a remote-mount sensor that can integrate with Garmin avionics to monitor CO levels and alert aircraft occupants of potentially harmful CO levels.
The GCO 14 integrates CO level monitoring and alerting into GTN Xi navigators, GI 275 flight instruments, and TXi flight displays. Pilots can view the current CO level via a dedicated page or user data fields.
In the event where potentially harmful CO levels are detected, the GCO 14 can provide both aural and visual alerts. Visual alerts flash a “CO Level” or “CO” message on the display and an aural alert, “Carbon Monoxide,” can also be triggered when the avionics are connected to an audio panel.
To supplement preset alert thresholds, custom advisories can activate a CO message at pilot-selectable limits, Garmin officials said.
The GCO 14 module fits behind the aircraft’s panel. It can be attached to compatible avionics and includes the required wiring harness for installation. The GCO 14 meets FAA TSO-C48A for use in certified aircraft and has a sensor life up to 10 years.
The GCO 14 is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2025 through Garmin authorized dealers for a list price of $549.
