Axis and redundancy

[JDA_BTR]

My first thought was the Axis is awesome. Now I'm thinking about redundancy.

But is it correct that the EIS is all there, so the GEA-24 is not needed?
Is it also correct that whereas the GTX-375 has GPS and transponder, the Axis does not cover the transponder function?
Would I still want the lighting controller for lights and flaps and trim and such?

The install manual covers most everything one needs to know. Its a huge document but it has bookmark links on the table of contents and references.

Prices and options the garmin team posted on this forum were for the most basic options available. You'll still need GEA-24 for engine monitoring capabilities. Axis hooks up to remote transponder behind the panel

A GEA-24 is still needed for EIS integration into AXIS.

AXIS does not have an integrated transponder. The options continue to be GTX45R (remote mount), GTX 345 (panel mount), or GNX 375 (IFR GPS, XPNDR, panel mount).

A GAD27 electrical control interface is still beneficial for aircraft utilizing those functions.

Is the GAD 29 still needed to Interface the ARINC 429 from the GTN 650/750xi's VOR/LOC/GS receiver? or is all of that available via HSDB now and we can (finally) retire the ARINC transmogorifier?

The GAD29 can be eliminated from the interface in lieu of HSDB. However, the GAD29 can optionally be kept for redundancy to external backup indicators like the G5, if power to the primary GDU is lost.
