Could a new certified aircraft be built with avionics other than all-Garmin?

This is interesting. It surely also means the demise of the Jetprop is a non issue – other than the obvious poor economics of chucking a G1000 in the skip and installing something else which does the same job.

Even better, the Garmin EIS TXi (engine indication system) is already certified/STCed for the JetPROP :)

It’s a bit funny to look at the Tecnam P2008 we have. EASA VLA certified for VFR night. 80% of the panel is used for a non certified G3X. The main (and certified) flight instruments is the little MD302 sandwiched in between the G3X screens. A very nice piece actually. NAV-COM is Garmin and engine instrument is? don’t remember, VDO? all analogue for some odd reason.

I would think for IFR, an additional GTN and one extra MD302 and it will be OK?

Anyway, the point is that the “main” instruments are Garmin, but then again they are not. It’s the MD302. The G3X is only for “situational awareness”

FWIW, the G3X also has EIS (engine monitoring). As does the Dynon HDX, seeing as this thread is about “other than Garmin”.
