Garmin’s panel-mounted aviation products are sold in the retrofit market where older aircraft are fitted with
the latest electronics from Garmin’s broad product line.
Garmin has also expanded its range of aviation electronics (avionics) offerings to leading General Aviation
aircraft manufacturers such as the Cessna Aircraft Company, Raytheon Aircraft Company, Diamond Aircraft
Industries and Mooney Aircraft Corporation through the installation of the G1000 integrated cockpit system as
original equipment in new aircraft. This system integrates attitude, heading, air data, navigation, communication,
engine monitoring, and other aircraft functions into a single cohesive system which interfaces with the flight crew
using a set of large sunlight-readable TFT displays. Garmin also began selling its G1000 integrated autopilot – the
GFC700 – to Raytheon for its Beechcraft Bonanza G36 airplane in 2005. Garmin anticipates further growth in its
sales to the original equipment manufacturers market as its product offerings expand to include flight control
systems and weather radar technology. Garmin also has expanded its future G1000/GFC700 sales beyond General
Aviation OEMs to OEMs in the business jet segment, such as Embraer who announced in November 2005 that
Garmin’s G1000 integrated cockpit system had been selected for Embraer’s new Phenom 100 (very light jet) and
Phenom 300 (light jet) programs.
