Garmin has unveiled Axis, a new family of highly integrated flight displays for single-engine piston aircraft and light twins, and it might be the most significant shift in retrofit avionics since the G3X Touch. By folding IFR GPS, NAV/COMM radio and a four-place audio panel into the display itself, Axis does away with the traditional radio stack altogether, freeing up real panel space and simplifying installation.
In this video from AOPA USA, Garmin walks through what makes Axis tick and why it could change how aircraft owners think about equipping their instrument panels from here on.
