Garmin SmartGlide Demo over Sauk Prairie & Hartford 

Thank You too much for sharing with Us that great feature from Garmin. Great panel on your Aircraft. It is my dream panel on Grumman AA1. Someday!...

Hello from Minnesota! Really great video. I had heard that Garmin was coming out with but really cool to see it work.

Thanks for showing this feature! Good to know that it brings you on top of the middle of the runway, I would have expected, it brings you to a point a mile out and maybe 500 high of the runway and heading straight for the runway. Maybe next release... not complaining, an awesome feature.

I liked that you didn't edit out your "non-perfect" emergency landing. It reinforced the need for people to practice this again and again. And it normalizes decision making during practice runs when things aren't perfect.

Very cool. Sold me on that feature.

Impressive feature! And, coupled to the autopilot, goes to and maintains best-glide speed? I'm floored that this is available for E/A-B aircraft.

Thank you for the video. I am curious with multiple airports in glide range if it makes different choices. For instance, does it prefer Towered or Controlled Airspace, or avoid them? Does it go for the longer runway or harder surface with 2 choices with a shorter dirt runway closer?

Thats awesome. Do you know if it is already available for certified g3x touch?

Awesome feature of the G3X.. I find it pretty annoying though that Garmin would require you get a new Xi navigator for certified aircraft to make smart glide work, when you only need the experimental G3X for experimental aircraft. Nothing wrong with my newish GNX375 navigator from 2 years ago to warrant replacement. Ugh. Would think if this was a safety feature it would be available on either certified or experimental without needing any additional equipment, which it obviously doesn't need.

Guil, great demo. 1) Is the "double ring" just the width of the green ring's "thickness"? 2) How did Smart Glide know what your best glide is? 3) I heard a "1000 foot call out". Is that part of smart glide or? (usually only get a "500" call out).

I thought smart glide made radio calls for you, squawked emergency and performed the landing in the Official Garmin video.

Xavion does it better
