Garmin G1000:
The G1000 system increases situational awareness by presenting aircraft performance, navigation, weather, terrain, and traffic information digitally on the large-format displays — literally putting all flight-critical data at the pilot’s fingertips. Garmin provides this data intuitively on the G1000 in a variety of ways, including the following:
Flight instrumentation — Wide horizons; three-axis flight dynamics; air speed; altitude; vertical speed; Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) with 360-degree, arc, and perspective modes
Engine performance — All engine operational parameters for piston, turboprop and turbofan engines; engine trend data; exceedance monitoring
Weather — Weather radar; satellite weather data link (via Weather Works and XM Radio); lightning-detection interfaces
Terrain — Class-B TAWS; detailed topographic mapping
Traffic — TIS data, using Garmin’s Mode S technology; Traffic Avoidance System (TAS) interfaces; future expansion to accommodate emerging traffic-awareness technologies

The Avidyne FlightMax Integra:
The Flightmax full-color Primary
Flight Display (PFD) and Multifunction Display (MFD) is shown below. It provides full route information via several
large-format, flat panel liquid-crystal displays integrating virtually all
instruments and gauges required for flight. As seen here, the Avidyne system
helps the pilot determine routes, speeds, and proximity to adverse weather
conditions, terrain and other aircraft all in three easily interpreted,
user-friendly displays.
Dynon EFIS-D10 [below] – attitude indicator, rate of turn, slip indicator, altitude – both digital and graphic, airspeed – both digital and graphic, compass, voltage, clock, up/down timer, G meter, VSI, checklists plus bugs that can be set for altitude, airspeed and heading.
