G600 TXi Flight Displays

A Clearer, Smarter Cockpit

The Garmin G600 TXi brings next-generation touchscreen flight displays to the PC-12. Available in 10.6-inch or 12.1-inch configurations, the G600 TXi offers:

• High-resolution, sunlight-readable displays
• Advanced synthetic vision technology
• Customizable split-screen layouts
• Integrated charts, traffic, terrain, and weather overlays

The result is a cleaner panel layout, improved situational awareness, and faster access to critical flight data.

Islander Aviation ensures seamless integration with your existing systems — or helps you plan a full modernization strategy if you’re ready for a complete transformation.

12.1-Inch and 10.6-Inch PFD Options

Designed for Your Panel

Garmin’s flexible display sizing allows PC-12 operators to choose the layout that best suits their cockpit and operational needs. Larger displays provide expanded map views and enhanced data presentation, while maintaining a refined, professional panel appearance.

We work with you to determine the ideal configuration — balancing visibility, ergonomics, redundancy, and aesthetics.

MFD Functionality

Information Without Clutter

Modern flying demands better information, not more distraction. Garmin’s MFD systems allow you to view:

• Flight plans and navigation mapping
• Terrain and obstacle alerts
• Weather overlays

The interface is customizable to your mission profile — whether you fly corporate, medevac, owner-operator, or charter.

Engine Indication System (EIS)

Clear Engine Monitoring, Simplified

Garmin’s Engine Indication System consolidates engine and systems data into an intuitive digital display.

Benefits include:
