The Liberty XL2 is the next generation touring aircraft that offers today's pilot/owner a truly exceptional flying experience.
Advanced design in aerodynamics, structure and manufacturing techniques have been used to create the XL2. The aircraft's high levels of safety, performance, comfort, economy and affordability have never been available before.
The Liberty XL2 is a certified two seat touring aircraft that has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the private pilot/owner. Many pilots have asked the question, "Why do I have to buy a four seat aircraft when I want a two seat touring aircraft?" The answer is simple. Historically, many two seat aircraft have been designed to meet the needs of flying schools.
Performance with Comfort
Range, speed, comfort, baggage space and a high useful load are not necessities in a training aircraft. To the private pilot/owner however these features become vitally important. The option to buy a modern two seat touring aircraft has simply not been there. Private owners have been forced to purchase a four seat aircraft, with its associated increase in purchase, operating and maintenance costs, when what they really wanted was a two seat touring aircraft designed to meet their needs.
What Pilots Have Been Waiting For
The Liberty XL2 is the aircraft the private pilot/owner has been waiting for. Through a combination of advanced aerodynamics and state-of-the-art materials, the XL2 offers a range of features that have never been available before. No other aircraft available today combines high performance and high payload with low initial purchase price and low operating costs as does the Liberty XL2.

AVIONICS SEEMD TO WORK BETTER
Avionics
Liberty is proud to offer an extensive selection of avionics equipment from industry leader, Garmin. These panel-mount units offer pilots a wide range of VFR and IFR choices that add safety, convenience, and fun to any flight – from takeoff to touchdown.
Click on the links below to jump from different avionics within the page.
The GNS 530 represents the single biggest idea in integrated avionics in years. Traditionally, it would take a host of components to provide the capabilities represented in this one sophisticated box. It is a WAAS-upgradeable IFR GPS, Com, VOR, LOC and glide-slope with color moving map all rolled into one. A TSO'd VHF Com offers a choice of 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz spacing for 760- or 3040-channel configuration respectively. A huge Jeppesen database (that can be updated with a front-loading data card) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSS, Approach, DPs/STARs and SUA information. The GNS 530 makes practical use of this information with features like intelligent frequency nomination.
The brilliant colors of the GNS 530's 5-inch display make the pilot-critical information easy to read and interpret. Thanks to a high-contrast color display, the information can be easily read from wide viewing angles even in direct sunlight. It's especially true of the 530's basemap. Pilot's will enjoy enhanced situational awareness by seeing their position relative to cities, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes, and coastlines. But even more important, the appropriate use of color separates land data, terminal areas, route, and approach information for easy pilot scanning and reduced pilot workload. Simply put, the GNS 530 incorporates advanced procedure types usually found only in high-end FMS systems.
The GNS 530 has plenty of growth potential, as there are upgrade paths for WAAS compatibility, TAWS, and Terrain awareness. Pilots will enjoy the GNS 530 as an MFD, especially when it is coupled with traffic, lightning detection, and weather interfaces like Ryan TCAD, TIS from the Garmin GTX 330 Mode S transponder, or Goodrich SKYWATCH™, STORMSCOPE® WX 500. For the latest in graphical and textual weather information, the GNS 530 can connect to XM Satellite Radio's XM WX Weather Service via the GDL 69 datalink receiver. With the FDE prediction program, the GNS 530 may be used for oceanic or remote operations.
The GNS 530's intuitive software and logical layout prove that this is a system built for pilots, by pilots. So much information. So easy to use. The GNS 530. It'll change the way you look at avionics.
GARMIN GNS 430
The GNS 430, designed as the first in a line of new aviation products, is an equally versatile panel-mounted companion to the GNS 530. It is a WAAS-upgradeable IFR GPS, Com, VOR, LOC, and glide-slope with color moving map in one multipurpose unit. The TSO'd VHF Com offers a choice of 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz spacing for 760- or 3040-channel configuration respectively. A huge Jeppesen database (that can be updated with a front-loading data card) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSS, Approach, DPs/STARs, and SUA information. The GNS 430 makes practical use of this information with features like intelligent frequency nomination.
Many boxes offer some of the same features as the GNS 430, but it's the integration of so many functions that sets this aviation product apart. The map features a built-in all-land database that shows cities, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes and coastlines, in addition to a Jeppesen database in bright colors. Thanks to the high-contrast color display, the information can be easily read from wide viewing angles even in direct sunlight.

GARMIN SL40
When panel space is at a premium, the SL40 VHF comm transceiver combines a lot of capability in a surprisingly small package. High-Performance Space Saver
It’s an all-purpose, high-performance unit packed with innovative features not found on competitive units. In its space-saving 1.3 x 6.25-inch design, the SL40 incorporates such pilot-friendly features as active and standby flip-flop frequency tuning, direct sunlight-readable alphanumeric display, easy access to National Weather Service broadcasts, a two-place intercom, and more. Two Radios in One
The SL40's frequency-monitoring function gives you the ability to monitor ATIS or the 121.5 emergency frequency without leaving your assigned ATC channel. This allows you to listen to standby frequencies while giving priority to the active channel, meaning you'll never miss a transmission.
With 8 watts of transmit power and only 35-watt DC input, the TSO-certified SL40 is cool and efficient. No external fans or cooling equipment are required. And like the Garmin SL30, the SL40 will operate on 10 to 32-volt inputs without the need or expense of a separate voltage converter. Maximum sophistication in minimum space: that’s the SL40.

Combining powerful 760-channel VHF communications with 200-channel VOR, glideslope, and localizer receivers, the SL30 Slimline transceiver is a compact, space-saving addition to the Garmin family of panel-mount avionics. Full-Featured, Small Package
The SL30 provides a full-functioned navigation and communications solution in a very small package at an affordable price. Besides traditional nav/comm features, the SL30 also incorporates workload-reducing functions such as automatic decoding of the Morse code station identifier for VOR/LOC/ILS, most-used frequency storage in unit memory, built-in course deviation indicator, and more. The SL30’s powerful, yet efficient, 8 watt comm transmitter is the same featured in the Garmin SL40. Two Nav/Comms in One
As the smallest nav/comm on the market, the SL30 is also the only unit that can monitor the standby comm or nav frequencies – offering the capability of two nav/comms in one. Standby comm frequency monitoring lets the pilot listen to transmissions like ATIS or the emergency channel without leaving the active frequency. On the nav side, with the primary VOR or localizer frequency providing guidance to your HSI or CDI, the standby frequency can be tuned to a second VOR, and the SL30 will display the current radial on which your aircraft is located – a handy feature during approach operations. DME information (estimated time en route, ground speed, and distance) provided by either a remote DME box or GPS receiver can also be displayed on the SL30. SL30 features:
Navigation Radio
200-channel Nav with solid-state DSP technology

GARMIN GTX 330
The GTX™ 330 is Mode S, IFR-certified transponders with datalink capability, including local traffic updates. Now, from the comfort of your aircraft, you can receive FAA Traffic Information Services (TIS), including location, direction, altitude, and climb/descent information of nearby aircraft on your GNS 530 or GNS 430. The result is improved communication between aircraft and air traffic control (ATC), providing U.S. pilots with greater traffic awareness in busy terminal areas.
Built on the same receiver and transmitter technology as our best-selling GTX 327, these units' solid-state design increases efficiency by using less power, creating less heat emissions, and eliminating warm-up time. Both units feature an easy-reading DSTN Liquid Crystal Display which reverses the numbers out of black for optimal viewing, an innovative keypad that makes entering a squawk code a snap, and a dedicated VFR button for quick-and-easy VFR squawking. The GTX 330 also offers several timing and display functions: flight time, count-up and count down timers, and current pressure altitude. Other features include remote ident and auto standby, plus altitude monitor with voice alerting.
Together, the functionality of the GTX 330, used with the innovative GNS 430 and 530, represents a whole new standard in transponder utility.
GARMIN GTX 327
With the introduction of the GTX™ 327 solid-state Mode C digital transponder, Garmin® revolutionizes a part of the panel that has been long overlooked. This full-featured, TSO certified transponder brings a unique level of functionality and utility to your airplane. Its solid-state transmitter provides 200 watts nominal power output and eliminates the need for a cavity tube which, when it fails, will be expensive to replace. And since the GTX 327's design is 100 percent solid state, there's lower power consumption, much lower heat emission, and no warm up time—all of which translates into a longer service life.
Some of the GTX 327's biggest features are the easiest to see. Among them, the easy-reading DSTN Liquid Crystal Display which reverses the numbers out of black for optimal viewing. The numeric keypad makes entering a squawk code a snap, and a dedicated VFR button allows for quick-and-easy 1200/VFR squawking. The GTX 327 also offers important timing and display functions such as flight time and count-up and count-down timers, as well as current pressure altitude.Together, these features represent a whole new standard in transponder utility.
GARMIN GMA 340
Garmin's GMA 340 audio panel meets the needs of aircraft owners and operators who require reliability and versatility in the essential audio switching function.
The GMA 340 features innovative LED-illuminated push button controls that allow audio selection of both NAV and Comm audio. Large buttons activate the Comm microphone and audios for up to three Comm transceivers to simplify cockpit workload. Another feature of the GMA 340 is the Split Comm, which allows the pilot to transmit/receive on Comm 1 and the co-pilot to transmit/receive on Comm 2. MASQ™ processing reduces ambient noise from the avionics inputs. Comm transmit indication is also provided. Speaker selection is available to monitor the aircraft radios or to make PA announcements. There are two unswitched inputs for telephone ringers, altitude alert warnings, or other warning tones. In addition, the GMA 340 includes a six-place VOX intercom with three selectable modes of isolation, dual stereo music inputs, and independent pilot, co-pilot, and passenger volume control. Each microphone input has a dedicated VOX circuit to ensure that only the active microphone is heard when squelch is broken. Special cabin noise de-emphasis circuitry enhances cockpit communications. Also standard is the three-light Marker Beacon Receiver/Indicator with high/low sensitivity selection and SmartMute™ marker audio muting.
Surface mount technology provides shallow depth and light weight, which simplifies installation in the tightest aircraft spaces and saves precious panel space. Operation is available in 14 or 28 volts without voltage converters or dropping resistors. Installation is simplified with the built-in intercom and marker beacon, and the GMA 340 also features photo cell dimming of annunciators, pilot fail-safe mode connection to Comm 1, and FAA TSO approval.
Read what Private Pilot magazine had to say about the GMA 340:
"The Garmin® Model 340 audio panel, reviewed above, is the finest example of communications integration and control for GA. The ICS system offers everything: individual level controls, positive com override of crew/music audio, stereo or monaural operations, soft-on/off, music/voice, crew-isolation, positive VOX control—you name it! The marker beacon and multifunction communications controls complete an excellent design. This unit will be as popular as Garmin's GPS units." -Private Pilot, March 1999
