Garmin unveils G2000 PRIME Integrated Flight Deck

G2000 PRIME brings turbine-class avionics technology to high-performance piston and electric aircraft

OLATHE, Kan./July 16, 2026/PR Newswire – Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today introduced G2000® PRIME, its new premium integrated flight deck for high-performance Class I/II piston and electric aircraft. Leveraging innovations debuted in the G3000 PRIME flight deck, G2000 PRIME refines the flight deck experience for another class of aircraft with sleek, intuitive, all-touchscreen displays. State-of-the-art user interface design and advanced connectivity enable G2000 PRIME to leverage cutting-edge technologies that can enhance safety potential and efficiency while minimizing pilot workload in every phase of flight.“

The response to our PRIME flight decks has been incredibly enthusiastic, and we’re excited to bring this next-generation technology to high-performance light general aviation aircraft with G2000 PRIME. As pilots and aircraft manufacturers continue to seek more intuitive, capable and connected avionics, G2000 PRIME delivers on that demand with a premium flight deck experience designed to help simplify operations, enhance situational awareness and support advanced safety-enhancing technologies. It represents an important step forward in bringing Garmin’s most advanced integrated flight deck innovations to more aircraft and more pilots.”

Stunning edge-to-edge glass flight displays

G2000 PRIME features expansive 14-inch touchscreen primary display units (PDU) with edge-to-edge, sunlight-readable, fingerprint-resistant glass, redefining expectations in cockpit aesthetics and functionality. The vibrant displays include multiple performance enhancements such as quadruple the memory and gigabit system connectivity that is up to 100 times faster than earlier systems. New, faster multi-core processors more than double the processing power – leveraging Garmin’s experience certifying multi-core technology for civil and military aviation markets as early as 2017. Additionally, higher display refresh rates provide crisp, smooth animations and an impressively responsive and fluid experience.

The secondary display units (SDU) provide data entry and system control, with the added capability to display multi-function applications. The high-resolution, 7-inch SDUs boast a 40% increase in screen area over prior Garmin touch controllers. Additionally, in certain aircraft applications, the SDUs can double as an integrated standby flight instrument display, removing the need for a dedicated standby flight instrument in the panel.

G2000 PRIME’s new advanced multi-touch touchscreen interface, capable of recognizing up to 10 touchscreen inputs at once, allows both pilot and copilot to interact with the same display simultaneously. The enhanced multi-touch technology also enables on-screen hand stabilization, allowing pilots to give precise touchscreen inputs while simultaneously resting their fingers on the display.

Modern & intuitive new user interface

G2000 PRIME boasts a modern, yet familiar user interface, blending Garmin’s rich experience in avionics design with a sleek, contemporary look and feel. Enhanced fonts and iconography ensure clarity and familiarity, while smartly organized and shallow application menus provide quick access to critical functions.

Primary Flight Windows (PFW) and Multi-Function Windows (MFW) maximize situational awareness with full-screen or split-screen options. New quick access bars allow pilots to open common apps such as maps, traffic, weather and charts with one touch. While viewing maps, pilots can touch anywhere to open a radial menu with options for accessing additional airport, weather, or airspace information, or quickly adjusting a flight plan via graphical editing. Interactive engine and electrical indications allow pilots to quickly open systems controls and information such as cabin environmental controls, synoptics and more.

To further ease information management, the Window Manager feature allows pilots to configure app display, window sizing, and more across the entire flight deck from one SDU. The Window Manager also provides multiple preset options that can configure all displays with one command, eliminating the need for operators to manually configure each window for various phases of flight.

Advanced flight tools

G2000 PRIME provides enhanced flight management system (FMS) tools like the Modified Flight Plan, which allows pilots to use both the PDU and SDUs to provide a side-by-side graphical preview of flight plan changes, including performance calculation comparisons or...
