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 80LX, Unit Only — 8" Experimental Landscape Flight Display brings next-generation primary flight, multifunction and engine indication capability to experimental and homebuilt aircraft in a compact, full-HD format. Part number 010-04144-00 includes an internal GPS receiver for VFR navigation and can operate as a stand-alone PFD or as an additional PFD, MFD or split-screen MFD/EIS display within a compatible AXIS system.
Compact Full-HD Landscape Display
View flight, navigation, mapping, engine and aircraft-system information on an 8" landscape display using Garmin’s full-HD AXIS presentation platform. Its compact horizontal format provides configurable full-screen and split-screen layouts while fitting panels where an 11.6" display may not be practical.
Flexible Experimental Integration
The GDU 80LX does not include an internal IFR navigator, COMM radio, VHF NAV receiver or audio panel. Builders can instead select compatible external navigators, radios and audio equipment based on the aircraft’s mission, available panel space and desired system redundancy.
Touch, Knob And Softkey Control
Operate AXIS through its capacitive touchscreen, two dual-concentric knobs and six bezel softkeys. Context-sensitive menus allow display functions to be managed by touch or tactile input, while the dedicated EMER control provides direct access to supported emergency functions.
Primary Flight, Multifunction And Engine Display Capability
The GDU 80LX can serve as the primary display in a compact experimental panel or as an additional display within a larger AXIS system. In a compatible PFD configuration, it can present attitude, airspeed, altitude, heading, vertical speed, navigation guidance and other flight information supplied by connected sensors and avionics. Multifunction layouts can display moving maps, flight plans, waypoint information, terrain, obstacles and available traffic or weather overlays. When paired with a compatible engine interface and sensors, AXIS can also present engine, electrical, fuel and other aircraft-system information with configurable gauges, alerts, advisories, fuel-computer data and lean-assist functions.
VFR GPS And External Avionics Architecture
The GDU 80LX includes an internal GPS receiver intended for VFR navigation, mapping and position functions. Its internal GPS is not an approved source for instrument approach navigation. A compatible external IFR navigator can be integrated when the aircraft requires approved IFR GPS or conventional VHF NAV guidance. Compatible external COMM, NAV/COMM and audio equipment can also be incorporated according to the planned panel architecture.
Landscape Installation And System Expansion
The GDU 80LX measures approximately 8.00" wide by 5.93" high by 2.83" deep, with approximately 2.15" of installation depth behind the panel face. It uses the same panel cutout and screw points as the Garmin 7" G3X Touch™ display, creating a practical upgrade path for qualifying installations. Experimental AXIS systems can combine compatible 8" landscape, 8" portrait and 11.6" displays, with support for as many as six displays depending on the system configuration.
Not sure this is the right fit for your aircraft?
This listing is for the GDU 80LX landscape display unit only and does not represent a complete AXIS system. External navigator selection, radios, audio equipment, ADAHRS and magnetometer requirements, engine monitoring hardware, autopilot integration, transponder and datalink compatibility, antennas, connector kits, wiring and mounting provisions must be determined for the individual aircraft. Contact Neal Avionics before ordering so we can verify part number 010-04144-00 and help identify the additional components required for your installation.
A compact, full-HD landscape flight display designed for

Important GDU 80LX Unit-Only Information
Part number 010-04144-00 is the
experimental GDU 80LX landscape display unit. Its
internal GPS receiver is intended for
VFR navigation. It does not include an internal
IFR navigator, COMM radio, VHF NAV receiver or audio panel.
Sensors, connector kits, external avionics and other required
installation components are selected separately.
A Vision for Flight
See the AXIS System in Action
Explore the modern AXIS interface, display architecture and flexible
experimental panel possibilities through Garmin’s flight display
overview.
Depending on the connected sensors, avionics and engine interface, the
GDU 80LX can provide primary flight, multifunction or
engine-information presentation.
PFD
Primary Flight Display
Present attitude, airspeed, altitude, heading, vertical speed,
navigation guidance and other configured flight information in a
modern digital primary flight view. Customizable data fields and
quick-access controls keep key information close at hand.
MFD
Multifunction Display
View dynamic mapping, flight plans, waypoint information, terrain,
obstacles and available traffic or weather overlays. Full-screen
and split-screen layouts allow information to be arranged for each
phase of flight.
EIS
Engine Indication System
When paired with a compatible engine interface and sensors, AXIS
can present engine, fuel, electrical and other aircraft-system
information with configurable gauges, alerts, advisories,
fuel-computer data and lean-assist functions.
Build AXIS Around Your Aircraft
Experimental AXIS systems can combine 8-inch landscape, 8-inch
portrait and 11.6-inch displays. Use the GDU 80LX as the primary
display in a compact panel or add it to a larger flight deck for
dedicated PFD, MFD or engine-information presentation.
Compact Installation
A Practical G3X Touch Upgrade Path
The GDU 80LX uses the same panel cutout and screw points as the
Garmin 7-inch G3X Touch™ display. This familiar footprint can help
create a practical upgrade path for qualifying experimental
aircraft with an existing Garmin display installation.
Reuse of existing panel openings, mounting provisions, wiring,
sensors or other equipment must be confirmed against current Garmin
installation documentation.
Situational Awareness and Safety
Expand Awareness as You Build
Depending on connected equipment and configuration, AXIS can
provide enhanced synthetic vision, 3D SafeTaxi® airport diagrams,
traffic and weather overlays, terrain and obstacle information,
Runway Occupancy Awareness, SurfaceWatch™ technology and Smart
Glide™ emergency assistance.
These capabilities require the appropriate compatible navigator,
sensors, transponder, datalink, autopilot, databases and system
configuration.
External Avionics Integration
Choose the Avionics You Want
The GDU 80LX is designed for builders who want to select compatible
external navigation, communication and audio equipment. Integrate
panel-mounted or remote avionics to create a traditional radio
stack, a remotely controlled panel or a combination suited to the
aircraft.
Internal IFR GPS, COMM, NAV and audio-panel functions shown in some
AXIS imagery are available on other AXIS variants and are not
included with part number 010-04144-00.
GDU 80LX System Planning
