The A5 reinvents recreational aviation and lets you bring the exhilaration of flight to life like never before. Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) are targeted to pilots who primarily fly for recreation. LSA are designed to be easy to fly, lightweight, and have low operating costs.
The state-of-the-art interface from Garmin has come to the Light Sport ICON A5. The G3X Touch™ display with an optional 2 axis autopilot adds situational awareness and sophistication to the 2021 ICON A5 Limited Edition (S-LSA). Review configurations below and discover how to take your adventure flying to a new level.
Add the comfort and convenience of 2-axis autopilot to your G3X Touch™-equipped A5. The autopilot system in the ICON A5 includes the Garmin GMC 507 control panel, which provides a dedicated interface and allows the pilot to control the advanced features offered by Garmin, including autopilot modes such as GPS Navigation, Indicated Airspeed Hold, Vertical Speed Hold, Altitude, Heading and Track modes and independent flight director. The control wheel on the GMC 507 makes for easier pitch, vertical speed, and airspeed adjustments, while separate knobs allow twist-control of heading/track and altitude. For added safety, the panel’s advanced LVL mode button commands automatic recovery from steep or unusual attitudes, enabling the autopilot to return the aircraft to straight-and-level flight.
