Garmin AXIS System Planner
AXIS System for Experimental Aircraft
Build a preliminary Garmin AXIS hardware package in the same logical order as the official Build-A-System Guide, see the estimated hardware list-price total, then send it to RWAS for compatibility review and an equipment and installation quote.
This is preliminary hardware planning—not an approved configuration or installed quote. The planner surfaces advisories but does not perform full compatibility validation.
Garmin July 2026 guide pricing
Check each component and set its quantity. This planning estimate covers listed hardware only; it is not an approved configuration or installation quote. RWAS will confirm aircraft eligibility, compatibility, required hardware and labor.
All prices shown are manufacturer list prices. Discounted equipment pricing may be available after RWAS reviews a submitted preliminary build. Prices are subject to change and exclude tax, freight, installation labor, fabrication, wiring, configuration, certification and additional required hardware.
Step 1
Select Displays
Choose up to six displays. AXIS X models are non-TSO; certified displays with integrated IFR GPS/radios may be mixed into an experimental system. No AXIS display contains the autopilot itself. When connected to a GFC 500, the selected AXIS GDU displays flight-director cues, autopilot modes and status; the separate GMC 507 remains the dedicated autopilot mode controller and is included with the aircraft-specific GFC 500 package selected in Step 5.

Step 1A
Display Install Kits
Each display requires the correct new-install or G3X Touch upgrade kit. IFR GPS displays require a GA 35S antenna. Select one printed-material kit per aircraft.

Step 2
System Sensors
Choose a core AXIS X sensor kit. Aircraft exceeding 300 KIAS should use the GSU 25D/GMU 22 kit. Unit-only sensors are supplemental.

Step 4
Engine / Airframe Interface
Typically one GEA module is required per engine unless it has more than six cylinders. GEA 110 requires an AXIS COMM or NAV/COMM display.

Active Traffic
GTS 8XX active traffic is compatible through HSDB. GTS 820 is the current model with a published July 2026 list price; avoid configuring conflicting traffic sources.

Software Enablements
Add database-driven display capabilities for the intended mission. Enablement eligibility depends on the selected display and installed navigation equipment.

Step 8B
Safety Sensors and Awareness
Select awareness hardware as applicable. A complete GI 260 AOA kit includes its own indicator, probe and air-data hardware; do not combine it with duplicate standalone components unless RWAS confirms the architecture.

Select the required core system sensor kit.
Select hardware before submitting
Selected equipment is sent to the RWAS service desk by email and, after email delivery succeeds, to Shop Talk in Microsoft Teams. The planner does not perform full compatibility validation.
Garmin GI 260 AOA planning
Complete GI 260 AOA packages include an indicator, GAP 26 probe and required air-data hardware. Because AXIS can display AOA with compatible sensors, RWAS reviews duplicate components, aircraft eligibility, approved data, voltage and probe heating.
Garmin GSB 15 USB charging
The GSB 15 USB-A/USB-C rear-input charging port is optional panel equipment. RWAS confirms aircraft voltage, circuit protection, connectors, available panel space and installation details.
