GRT Avionics makes it easy to upgrade the 6.5-inch Horizon WS to the high-resolution, 7-inch Horizon EX with synthetic vision, enhanced moving map, and more. A drop-in replacement, the EX fits in the same mounting hole and typically requires no wiring changes. User settings can be copied from an existing WS into the EX with the settings backup function. No avionics experience is required.
Almost anyone can upgrade their panel in minutes. Pilots will find operation of the EX display unit practically identical to that of the WS they replaced. Features of the Horizon EX include:
- Hi-resolution 800 x 480 1200-nit LCD display.
- Synthetic vision shows terrain, obstacles and runways naturally and realistically.
- Moving map with terrain relief, terrain awareness, weather and traffic data (via ADS-B input).
