Summit Aviation holds a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the installation of Garmin's G500H TXi Flight Display System on MDHI 500N series aircraft.
We care about and have invested in the MD operator community. In partnership with the Law Enforcement community of Maryland’s Prince George’s County Police Department, Summit Aviation has successfully installed four Garmin G500H TXi flight display systems within the PGC operational Fleet of MD520N Helicopters.
The latest in electronic glass cockpit instrumentation, the G500H TXi brings increased levels of reliability, adaptability and affordability to MD 500N series helicopter operations. Available in both portrait and landscape options, the system provides bright, crisp touch-screen displays. It allows you to use familiar knobs and/or touch-screen inputs to quickly access the functions, screen views and other flight information the pilot wants to see most prominently.
