NOTE
This section is not intended to be a comprehensive list of approved software. It is
intended to provide a means to determine if this AFMS revision is applicable to the

2.2 Standby Flight Instruments
Standby Instruments are required for aircraft approved for IFR operations.
2.3 Navigation Systems for IFR Operations
Aircraft approved for IFR operations must use one of the following Garmin navigation systems:

GTN 6XX / 7XX

Or, in lieu of interfacing G3X Touch to a Garmin navigation system, an installation could maintain IFR
capability by retaining non-Garmin GPS and/or VHF Nav radios along with their standalone dedicated
CDI.
IFR operations are prohibited when no external IFR approved navigator is connected, or when the
internal G3X Touch GPS navigation source is selected.

Databases identified as intended for helicopters must not be used. These databases are identified by
the word “HELI” or “HELICOPTER” in their title, as displayed on the database status page.
Database updates via SD card must be done while the aircraft is on the ground and stationary.
Database transfers or updates are prohibited in flight.
