Upgrade? New GTN Xi series offers easy slide-in upgrade for existing GTN avionics.

Brighter, faster, sharper, better.

DO-IT-ALL TOUCHSCREEN

Intuitive touchscreen interface provides quick access to navigation, radio tuning, multifunction display features and more.

LIGHTNING-FAST RESPONSE

Powerful dual-core processors boost the GTN Xi series graphical display capabilities — with faster zooming, panning and map rendering on the display.

HIGH-RESOLUTION DISPLAY

With almost double the pixel count of its predecessor, the GTN Xi series features wider viewing angles and one of the highest-resolution displays ever offered in this class of avionics.

Work-saving ways to tune and display.

MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY

Supporting multiple inputs, the 4.9” display can put moving maps, terrain, traffic2, weather2, airport diagrams and more at your fingertips.

EASY DATA ENTRY

Use the on-screen QWERTY keyboard or traditional concentric knobs to enter frequencies, waypoint identifiers, routings and more.

REMOTE RADIO CONTROL

In dual GTN Xi installations, remote tuning capability lets you tune frequencies on both units from either navigator. A Radios page displays all selectable Comm and Nav frequencies (active and standby) plus their volume levels.

TELL IT, TUNE IT

Available Telligence voice control technology helps reduce pilot workload by responding to hundreds of spoken commands with the press of a button on the yoke2.

PINCH, SWIPE GESTURES

A quick finger swipe lets you pan across the map display. Or use a smartphone-like pinch-to-zoom motion to scale up or down on any map, traffic or terrain page.

QUICK PAGE ACCESS VIA KNOBS

The unit’s dual concentric knob controls now offer quick access to select pages. The outer knob can cycle through as many as 9 custom-assigned pages, with the inner knob supporting functions such as zooming or scrolling on the page displayed.

Safety-enhancing Smart Glide Technology

ENGINE-OUT HELP

In the case of an engine power loss situation, GTN Xi offers Smart Glide technology to help reduce your workload — so you can focus more attention on other tasks during the emergency.

EASY ACTIVATION

Smart Glide requires a compatible flight display to be paired with GTN Xi. The Smart Glide system can be activated with the press of an optional dedicated panel button or by a long press of the Direct-to button.

RECOMMENDS AN AIRPORT

Considering the aircraft’s estimated glide range (including terrain and obstacles), the system recommends a suitable airport for landing and offers a list of alternatives, or it advises if no airport is estimated to be within glide range.

DIRECT-TO ROUTING

If an airport is available, it creates a Direct-to route to the selected airport. And if you’re equipped with a compatible Garmin autopilot, Smart Glide will automatically engage the autopilot in IAS mode at best glide speed — using the GPS guidance to fly the aircraft near the selected airport.

EMERGENCY INFORMATION

Smart Glide provides information for the selected airport and loads the airport CTAF frequency into the GTN Xi standby position while providing a shortcut to enter an emergency code in a compatible transponder.

LANDING

Once the aircraft is near the airport, the pilot resumes control and prepares the aircraft for arrival — for example, bleeding off altitude and making the final approach to the selected runway — then lands the aircraft.

Streamline your flight planning and navigation.

SEE THE FULL PICTURE

Graphical routing on the display lets you visualize your entire flight plan, including departures, arrivals, visual/instrument approaches, holding procedures and more.

FAST FIND

As soon as you start typing, the GTN Xi FastFind feature uses quick predictive logic to suggest airport and waypoint entries by using current GPS position. Just select and go.

AIRWAYS, YOUR WAY

Victor airways and high-altitude jet routes can be overlaid on the map. For easy IFR routings, view airway segments available from a waypoint and corresponding exit options.

“RUBBER BAND” REROUTES

This handy feature lets you grab a flight plan leg on the screen, and then stretch or move it to adjust for a deviation or ATC amendment to your flight plan.

VIRTUAL MAP TOPOGRAPHY

By referencing built-in terrain, mapping and obstacles databases, GTN 650Xi shows detailed surface features, cities, airports, SUAs and more on the dynamic map display.

TERRAIN ALERTING

A built-in database provides color-coded display overlays to warn when potential terrain conflicts loom ahead. Class A or B TAWS alerting is optionally available.

DIRECT CONNECT

A Direct-to key on the bezel lets you quickly enter a direct course for any selected waypoint. A menu of nearest airports and flight plan waypoints makes for easy entry.

 
 

Fly approaches, glidepaths, holding patterns and more.

MORE APPROACH OPTIONS

The WAAS/SBAS-certified GPS receiver expands your landing options, enabling GPS-guided LPV glidepath approaches down to ILS-comparable minimums as low as 200’.

VHF NAVAID CAPABILITY

In addition to GPS guidance, full VHF navigation capabilities offer complete airspace system access, including VOR/ILS with localizer and glideslope.

AUTO-ASSIST ENTRY

When loading procedures, the GTN Xi series will pre-enter NAV frequencies to standby position for quick access. It also auto-selects the VHF NAV source for ILS approaches.

CLEARED FOR THE VISUAL

GTN Xi can give advisory visual approach guidance based on a published glidepath or a 3-degree slope from the runway threshold (with terrain/obstacle clearance).

AUTOPILOT INTERFACE

Precise course deviation and roll steering outputs can be coupled to select autopilots, enabling virtually all IFR flight procedures to be flown automatically.

HOLDING PATTERNS

IFR pattern entries can be tricky. GTN 650Xi lets you easily create and execute holding patterns over a published or user-defined waypoint.

SEARCH AND RESCUE

For aerial surveillance, common search pattern types — including orbit, parallel line, expanding square and sector search — can be loaded into your flight plan on the GTN 650Xi navigator2.

SUPPORTS VNAV AND MORE

With our GFC 500 and GFC 600, GTN 650Xi supports advanced modes and features such as vertical navigation profiles, radius-to-fix legs, missed approaches and more.

SAFETAXI® DATABASE

Upon landing, georeferenced SafeTaxi diagrams on the display automatically help track your location on hundreds of airports.

Make communication a breeze.

BUILT-IN COMM TRANSCEIVER

A 2,280-channel capable VHF Comm radio gives GTN 650Xi a standard 10 watts (or optional 16 watts) of talking power with pilot-selectable 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz channel spacing.

FIND A FREQUENCY

A work-saving lookup function lets you enter any navaid or airport identifier and have the GTN Xi navigator look up the frequencies for that location (tower, ground, ATIS, clearance delivery, etc.). You can then tap to send the frequency to any radio slot.

INSTANT RECALL

GTN Xi database technology allows you to quickly recall your most frequently or recently used frequencies. Plus, holding down the volume knob will dial up the emergency frequency.

STATION CONFIRMATION

If you’re given a frequency by ATC, our GTN Xi lookup function will automatically provide the station identifier right below it. So you’ll know you’re making the right call.
