Default Suggest AOA Display on G5

I would like to see the ability to have my G5 display the AOA from my G3 system. Since my G5 backup instrument is at the top of my glare shield, being able to display AOA on that instrument would be very helpful.

Thanks for your continued improvements to the G3X systems.

Default

In addition to my prior request (asking for a configurable discrete input to play/pause Bluetooth audio playback so I can pause my audiobook from the stick when ATC calls me)...

I wish that the G3X Touch, when paired with a Virb camera, would record air data, including at a minimum the following:
  • Indicated or pressure altitude
  • Altimeter setting
  • Rate of climb
  • Indicated airspeed
  • True airspeed
  • Angle of attack
  • Heading

This would make the Virb tremendously useful for flight testing, as well as more fun for content creators who can give a HUD-like camera view using air data rather than GPS-derived altitude, speed, and course over ground.

Default Garmin Auto Land in the future?

Garmin introduced their auto-land emergency feature... it will be interesting to see how this evolves over time. It's not for Vans today... apparently auto throttle is one issue but still pretty amazing capabilities transcending from commercial jets down to small aircraft.

Default Auto land

Not sure about the comment pertaining to commercial jet auto land. I am pretty sure it isn?t what you think. There is far more required than push a button and ?auto land?...

I hope the G3X guys still monitor this thread.

I would like to have an alert based on gallons used; the "switch fuel tanks" alert is handy, but currently you have to set it based on time. If we could set it to alert every time "x" gallons is used, that would be great. Makes it easier to balance fuel and monitor fuel used.

Default Fuel tank reminder

⬆️ My Skyview system had the same thing...choice between time and gallons used. It’s baffled me why this isn’t an option on the G3X, where I would have to imagine the vast majority of people have a fuel flow transmitter. I’d like to see the same option.

Default Flaps position/indicator SYMBOL

I wish the flaps position indicator would visually assemble the shape of a flap (instead of the triangle) or have the scale a bit curved compared to the pitch trim indicator.

This would help differentiating between those 2 indicators which are located very close to each other.

Default Panel light dimmer control via screen

Would it be possible to control the panel light dimmer via the touch screen. This would save the cost/weight/panel space required for the potentiometer(s). Alternatively, could the photocell in the G3X touch be used to control the lighting circuits instead of a potentiometer?

Default Composite Video VERTICAL FLIP

A software function to flip the composite video input vertically.

I was thinking about using the FLIR PATHFINDIR II camera without the pedestrian/animals recognition for night flying, but it cannot be mounted upside down, so the cables would face downwards.. It's IP67 rated

This would enable the GTN 6xx & 7xx to use fuel flow information as part of the fuel planning functionality on the GTN.

See Table 5-5, Appendix C.3, of GTN 6XX/7XX Part 23 AML STC Installation Manual, 190-01007-A3.

Thanks!
