OLATHE, Kan./June 24, 2025 - Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced new updates and functionality for the TXi™ family of flight displays. The new software updates all TXi Engine Indication System (EIS) displays for turbine and piston aircraft to utilize new arc gauges that feature larger indications to maximize readability at a glance. Additionally, the update provides EIS support for Honeywell TPE-331-10/-10N engines. With TXi EIS, aircraft owners and operators can replace aging EIS gauges with a modernized display to more clearly read and analyze critical engine, fuel and electrical parameters - enhancing situational awareness and simplifying the cockpit.
New arc gauges
Primary engine indications are displayed in real-time using distinct colors, bands and radials to clearly depict normal operating ranges as well as limitations, so pilots can more easily interpret engine data at-a-glance. EIS gauges have been updated to a new half arc format, allowing for a much larger gauge and increased font size by 50% to help pilots easily monitor engine indications. The gauge pointer is also larger and now includes a tail to help users easily locate it on the arc. Additionally, arc gauges will now display the minimum and maximum values of the gauge pointer range. These changes will help pilots monitor engine indications more quickly and easily.
New Support for TPE-331 engines
TXi EIS was also updated to expand the list of supported engine types to include Honeywell TPE-331-10/-10N engines. Supported aircraft now include the Twin Commander 695/695A/695B with TPE-331-5 engines, Cessna Conquest 441 equipped with TPE-331-10N engines and Mitsubishi MU-2B-40 Solitaire and MU-2B-60 Marquise equipped with TPE-331-10 engines. This update also includes ElS support for Piaggio P.180 Avanti aircraft equipped with PT6A engines.
Additional benefits of TXi EIS
With TXi EIS, pilots can view EIS information on a 10.6-inch TXi flight display which can accommodate primary flight display (PFD) information; a multifunction display (MFD) with a vertical EIS strip; or on a dedicated 7-inch TXi flight display. When using multiple TXi displays, pilots can also benefit from display backup capability to help prevent the loss of PFD or EIS information during a single-display failure. To assist with tracking maintenance activities, controlling operating costs and analyzing overall engine health, built-in engine data logging is included with TXi EIS. When paired with the GDL 60 datalink, this information is automatically uploaded to the flyGarmin® website. Exceedances as well as engine and flight cycles can also be recorded to help identify maintenance needs.
The TXi EIS updates for turbine and piston aircraft are available through Garmin authorized dealers. For additional information, visit Garmin.com/TXi.
