EFIS/Sport G3 is all electronic, has its own Pitot-Static system, its own inertial and magnetic subsystem, computer and display electronics. Just hook up Pitot and Static lines, install the included GPS antenna and magnetometer, add 9-32 volts and away you go. EFIS/Sport G3 is available from blue mountain avionics, or through select dealers worldwide...

HSI, Moving Map and GPS Navigation all built-in...

EFIS/Sport is designed for the Garmin/AT SL30 digital radio for normal VOR/OBS operations and serves as the required external indicator for IFR flight. EFIS/Sport can also navigate from its internal GPS, and drive the blue mountain autopilot. Everything you need, everything you’d hoped for in one, small airworthy package that fits right in your radio stack...

Each page even has it’s own button so there are no confusing menus and modes to memorize. With EFIS/Sport G3, everything is in one place where you can find it, and where you can use it. It even has a database of radio frequencies so you don’t have to look them up...
