Garmin G3X Touch™ for Experimental Aircraft — GDU 460 - 010-01057-00
The Garmin G3X Touch™ Display - GDU 460 is a large-format touchscreen flight display for experimental/amateur-built aircraft, supporting PFD, MFD and EIS capabilities within a configurable G3X Touch™ panel. Its combination of bright, high-resolution presentation, touchscreen operation and physical controls gives pilots a clear way to access essential flight and navigation information.
Flexible Panel Growth
Build a panel around the display configuration that suits the aircraft, then expand as needs change. The G3X Touch family supports combinations of up to six 10.6″ and 7″ landscape or 7″ portrait displays.
Flight Data In View
Keep primary flight information readily visible with attitude, airspeed, altitude, heading, vertical speed and more. The HSI accepts VOR/LOC and/or GPS course guidance.
Touch And Knob Control
Navigate display functions through touchscreen inputs or dual concentric knobs. Dedicated bezel buttons also provide quick direct-to entry and access to nearest airports or waypoints.
Adaptable Display Views
The display can switch between a full-screen PFD and a split PFD/MFD view, placing different types of information in the pilot’s field of view. In installations with multiple displays, the system can also use a full-page MFD. Interactive moving-map controls allow panning, pinch-to-zoom and position-based bearing, distance and time information for a selected location.
Situational Awareness Tools
Standard SVX™ synthetic vision presents 3D depictions of terrain, obstacles and airports, while Highway in the Sky pathway boxes help visualize en route legs, course intercepts and glidepath. Built-in terrain, mapping and obstacle databases support the dynamic map, and terrain alerting provides color-coded 2D or profile views with visual and audible alerts for potential conflicts. SafeTaxi™ diagrams overlay aircraft position on taxiways, runways and ramps after touchdown.
Connected Information Options
Standard FliteCharts® procedural charts provide georeferenced approaches and terminal procedures; optional Jeppesen® style ChartView™ plates are available with a subscription. With available Garmin ADS-B “In” solutions, G3X Touch can display up to 60 ADS-B traffic targets and subscription-free U.S. weather. A separately sold GDL® 51R or GDL 52R SiriusXM receiver adds SiriusXM® satellite weather coverage, including NEXRAD radar, and audio entertainment1.

ENGINE-OUT HELP
In case of an engine power loss situation, G3X Touch offers Smart Glide technology2 to help reduce your workload — so you can focus more attention on other tasks during the emergency.
EASY ACTIVATION
The Smart Glide system can be activated with the press of an optional dedicated panel button or through your PFD, with a shortcut to integrated emergency checklists (if configured).
RECOMMENDS AN AIRPORT
Considering the aircraft’s estimated glide range (including terrain and obstacles), the system recommends a suitable airport for landing and offers a list of alternatives, or it advises if no airport is estimated to be within glide range.
DIRECT-TO ROUTING
If an airport is available, the G3X Touch display creates a Direct-to route to the selected airport. And if you’re equipped with a Garmin autopilot, the system will engage navigation and airspeed modes to fly the aircraft near the selected airport.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Smart Glide provides information for the selected airport and loads the airport CTAF frequency into the G3X Touch standby radio position while providing a shortcut to enter an emergency code in your compatible transponder.
LANDING
Once the aircraft is near the airport, the pilot resumes control and prepares the aircraft for arrival — for example, bleeding off altitude and making the final approach to the selected runway — then lands the aircraft.
