The certified G3X Touch brings the logic of touchscreen flight displays to the panels of piston aircraft. Before getting excited about the equipment, the owner needs to know whether the category of their aircraft is within scope.
What Garmin states
- 1
Aircraft scope
According to Garmin's material, the G3X Touch is approved for hundreds of FAR Part 23 Class I certified aircraft (typically under 6,000 pounds), under an STC with an extensive list of approved models. The focus is single-engine piston aircraft.
- 2
Type of operation
The material states the equipment is valid for VFR and IFR installations, with 10.6-inch and 7-inch displays.
- 3

The deciding limitation
Approval applies to the models on the approved list, and in Brazil the STC must be validated by ANAC. A turbine aircraft, a twin-engine aircraft or one outside the list is not a candidate.
