Fix the runway lights (VASI, Approach lights, etc). Half of them are flat-out wrong. The database used is about 15 years old. A simple database update could fix this quickly.
-
Fix the runway markings - centerline stripes and runway numbers are too small for most US airports. 500’ touchdown zone markings are all wrong in the US (should be three stripes each side).
-
Fix the VASI/PAPI longitudinal placement so our aimpoint isn’t so far down the runway. Especially important on smaller runways.
-
Institute pilot-controlled lighting
-
Get rid of the trees at the runway end by instituting a FAR 77 approach surface clear of obstruction (trees at least)
-
Bring the G3X up to the standards of the other Garmin devices
