Finding the Perfect Garmin GPS and Radio for Your Aircraft

Brought to you by: Premier Aviation, authorized Garmin Dealers.


As an authorized Garmin Dealership in Tucson, AZ, Premier Aviation understands that choosing the right avionics for your aircraft is a crucial decision. Whether you're outfitting your first experimental aircraft or upgrading a trusty workhorse, having the ideal GPS navigation and communication tools on board is essential for safety and efficiency. To help you navigate the options, consider these key questions about your aircraft and your flying needs.


What Do You Need (or Want) from Your Avionics Upgrade?

Garmin offers a comprehensive suite of solutions, and as an authorized Garmin dealership, we can help you explore them all. Are you simply looking to add GPS capabilities with a GPS 175 or a standalone radio like the GTR™ 205? Perhaps a combination unit such as the GNC® 355 would better suit your needs. For those seeking the absolute latest in aviation technology to enhance safety and performance, the GTN Xi series might be your perfect match.


The possibilities are vast, allowing us to tailor a solution that perfectly aligns with your specific requirements. Factors like your aircraft type, engine hours, existing avionics, and any other planned airframe upgrades will all play a role in determining the most beneficial and budget-friendly solutions for you.


What's Your Flight Mission?

Your typical flight activities significantly influence the kind of avionics you'll need. Are you a "weekend warrior" who enjoys local flights for that famous $100 hamburger, or are you an IFR pilot who relies on your aircraft for both business and pleasure flights? These different scenarios call for distinct avionics capabilities.


For simpler missions, Garmin GPS navigators like the GPS 175, GNC® 355, or GNX™ 375 offer intuitive moving maps with handy features, including frequency lookup and optional traffic and weather integration. When paired with a GTR slimline radio, you'll have a straightforward and user-friendly setup.


If your flights demand more advanced functionality and the ability to manage complex flight plans, the GTN™ 750Xi is an outstanding all-in-one solution. This flagship GPS/NAV/COMM/MFD provides VNAV capability, GPS and ground-based approaches, Smart Glide™ technology, advanced charting, and numerous remote interface possibilities. With a GTN Xi, you unlock a world of comprehensive navigation and communication.
