Additional Autopilots
AXIS flight displays support limited integration with autopilots from another manufacturer when interfaced to a GI 275 standby instrument. Supported functions include NAV source selection, course and heading selection, and GPSS mode.
Garmin AXIS™ GDU 116NC — 11.6" Integrated Flight Display combines primary flight, multifunction and available engine indication capability with an internal IFR-certified GPS, integrated VHF NAV receiver, 10-watt VHF COMM radio and internal audio-panel capability. Designed for eligible certified aircraft, part number 010-03002-00 provides a full-HD glass-cockpit interface that can centralize flight, GPS navigation, VOR and localizer navigation, radio communication and cockpit-audio functions.
Integrated IFR GPS And VHF NAV
The GDU 116NC includes an internal GPS receiver and VHF NAV receiver certified for IFR navigation. It supports GPS-based navigation together with compatible VOR, localizer and glideslope operations, giving the panel access to both satellite and conventional ground-based navigation sources.
10-Watt COMM And Audio Capability
An integrated 10-watt VHF COMM radio supports active and standby frequency display, standby-frequency tuning, frequency swap, volume, squelch and monitoring through the AXIS interface. The display also supports an internal audio-panel configuration with a four-place intercom, dual-COMM switching and COMM playback.
Full-HD Touch And Knob Control
View critical flight and system information on an 11.6" landscape display with 1920 × 1080 full-HD resolution. Pilots can operate AXIS through the capacitive touchscreen, two dual concentric knobs and six bezel softkeys, providing both direct touch interaction and tactile control.
Primary Flight And Multifunction Display Capability
The GDU 116NC can serve as the center of a configurable Garmin AXIS flight display system. When configured as a primary flight display, it presents attitude, airspeed, altitude, heading, air data, navigation guidance and other critical flight information within the Primary Flight Window. Split-screen arrangements can keep a Multifunction Window visible alongside the PFD, while MFD configurations can display moving maps, flight plans, waypoint data, terrain, obstacles and available traffic or weather overlays. Additional available functions include enhanced synthetic vision, 3D SafeTaxi® airport diagrams, pilot-selectable widgets and customizable data fields.
Integrated IFR GPS, NAV, COMM And Audio
The GDU 116NC is the most fully integrated certified 11.6" AXIS configuration. Its internal IFR GPS supports graphical flight planning and compatible GPS-guided approach operations, while the integrated VHF NAV receiver provides access to conventional VOR, localizer and glideslope navigation. Supported installations can provide automatic GPS-to-localizer switching for ILS operations. The built-in 10-watt VHF COMM radio places active and standby frequency controls directly within the AXIS interface, and the internal audio-panel capability supports a four-place intercom, compatible dual-COMM operation, COMM playback and selected Bluetooth phone or entertainment functions.
Engine Display And Panel Integration
When paired with the required compatible GEA™ 110 engine adapter, sensors and approved aircraft configuration, AXIS can display engine, electrical, fuel and other aircraft-system information. Garmin specifies that a GEA 110 installation requires at least one GDU 116C or GDU 116NC in the system. The 11.6" display measures approximately 11.00" wide by 7.83" high by 4.28" deep, with approximately 2.48" of installation depth behind the panel face. It also uses the same panel cutout and screw locations as the Garmin 10.6" G3X Touch™ display, creating a practical upgrade path for qualifying installations.
Not sure this is the right fit for your aircraft?
AXIS installations require professional system planning and installation. Aircraft eligibility, IFR GPS and VHF NAV antenna requirements, internal audio-panel configuration, ADAHRS and magnetometer selection, engine monitoring equipment, autopilot compatibility, datalink interfaces, wiring and mounting provisions must be confirmed for the specific aircraft. Contact Neal Avionics before ordering so we can verify part number 010-03002-00 and help configure the correct AXIS system for your panel.

Important GDU 116NC Configuration Information
Part number 010-03002-00 is the certified
GDU 116NC. Unlike the GDU 116C, this model adds an
internal VHF NAV receiver to its IFR GPS, 10-watt VHF COMM and
audio-panel capabilities. This makes the GDU 116NC the integrated
AXIS option for installations that require both GPS navigation and
conventional VOR, localizer and glideslope reception.
A Vision for Flight
See the AXIS System in Action
Explore the AXIS interface, display architecture and integrated panel
possibilities through Garmin’s flight display overview.
Depending on the approved aircraft installation and connected system
components, the GDU 116NC can support primary flight, multifunction and
engine-information presentation.
PFD
Primary Flight Display
Present attitude, airspeed, altitude, heading, air data,
navigation guidance and other critical information in a
configurable Primary Flight Window. Split-screen layouts can keep
mapping, engine or supplemental information visible beside the
primary flight view.
MFD
Multifunction Display
Display moving maps, flight plans, waypoint information, terrain,
obstacles and available traffic or weather overlays. Full-screen
and split-screen arrangements help organize information for each
phase of flight.
EIS
Engine Indication System
When paired with the required GEA™ 110 engine adapter, compatible
sensors and approved configuration, AXIS can display engine,
electrical, fuel and other aircraft-system parameters. A GEA 110
installation requires at least one GDU 116C or GDU 116NC.
Larger. Smarter. Faster.
The 11.6-inch AXIS format provides a full inch more diagonal display
area than the Garmin 10.6-inch G3X Touch™ display. Faster processing
supports responsive map interaction, while enhanced graphics provide
clear presentation of flight, navigation and system information.
Fully Integrated System
Nearly Everything in One Display
The GDU 116NC combines an IFR GPS navigator, VHF NAV receiver,
10-watt VHF COMM radio and internal audio-panel capability with a
full-HD flight display. Integrating these functions can reduce the
need for a traditional radio stack while centralizing flight,
navigation, radio and audio controls.
Antennas, sensors, connectors, installation kits and other required
components are selected separately according to the approved
aircraft installation.
Advanced Capabilities and Safety
More Awareness in Flight and on the Ground
Depending on installed equipment and configuration, AXIS supports
safety-enhancing tools such as Runway Occupancy Awareness,
optional SurfaceWatch™ technology, 3D SafeTaxi® diagrams and Smart
Glide™ technology. The dedicated EMER bezel key provides direct
access to configured emergency functions.
Runway Occupancy Awareness requires a compatible ADS-B transponder.
Smart Glide, SurfaceWatch and related functions require compatible
equipment and an appropriately configured installation.
Streamlined Installation
A Practical G3X Touch Upgrade Path
The 11.6-inch AXIS display provides additional display area while
using the same panel cutout and screw locations as the Garmin
10.6-inch G3X Touch display. Garmin also states that AXIS can use
many existing G3X Touch sensors and components in qualifying
installations.
Reuse of existing panel provisions, sensors, wiring or components
must be confirmed against the approved installation data for the
specific aircraft.
Integrated GDU 116NC Functions

navigation alongside the internal IFR GPS. NAV frequency tuning,
source selection and compatible VOR or localizer information are
integrated with the AXIS display environment.
Supported configurations can provide automatic GPS-to-localizer
switching for compatible ILS operations.
VHF Communication
Integrated 10-Watt COMM Radio
The internal VHF COMM radio supports active and standby frequency
display, standby-frequency tuning, frequency swap, volume control,
