The GMC 605C mode controller features a larger, sunlight readable, color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen that enhances the display of mode annunciations. The addition of color mode annunciations allows pilots to more easily differentiate between active and armed modes shown on the display. Mode annunciations are split into three sections on the display –– lateral modes, autopilot status, and vertical modes. This presentation aligns the mode controller display with the annunciations seen on Garmin TXi™ Flight Displays for easier reference by the pilot.
