- On June 6 2023, Garmin, Inc. declared Supplemental Sort Accreditation (STC) by the Government Flying Organization (FAA) for the GI 275 electronic flight instrument in Chime 407 and Robinson R66 helicopters. The GI 275 is a cost-effective, scalable approach to an avionics upgrade that is a direct replacement for a number of legacy primary flight instruments in the cockpit, such as the primary attitude indicator, course deviation indicator (CDI), horizontal situation indicator (HSI), or multi-function display (MFD). It is a powerful solution for helicopter owners and operators. By taking advantage of the standard flight instrument size of 3.125 inches, the GI 275 is purposefully designed to minimize installation time and preserve the existing instrument panel. Its bright touchscreen display with a high resolution and a wide viewing angle make it easier to read in the cockpit. Pilots can access a variety of essential functions through a dual concentric knob, in addition to interacting with the flight instrument through the touchscreen. The GI 275 offers pilots a straightforward upgrade path to modern flight instrument features and functions and is suitable as a direct replacement for many outdated flight instruments. It is simple to integrate into a variety of panels.
