Wherever you're starting from

The builder shapes every question around your situation — it never assumes you're starting from a blank panel.

Just exploring

Get oriented on what AXIS is, what it replaces, and what a system costs to build.

Replacing my G3X

Same panel cutout — and most of your LRUs and wiring carry straight over.

Retrofitting another panel

We sort every box you own into keep, replace, or remove — even the obscure ones.

Starting a new build

Begin from the required core and build outward, interface by interface.

Ten minutes to a plan you can trust

1

Tell it what's in your panel

Paste your equipment list — brand names, model numbers, or just “the old king radio.” The assistant works out each box's role and whether AXIS can talk to it, then sorts everything into keep, replace, or remove.

Make decisions with an expert at your side

Every interface — displays, ADAHRS, autopilot, transponder, audio — comes with plain-spoken guidance on what fits your aircraft and why. Ask anything, anytime; your plan updates itself as you talk.

Can I keep my GTN 650 with AXIS?
Checking the specs on "GTN 650 compatibility"
Yes — your GTN 650 stays. It connects over HSDB and gives you IFR GPS, VHF NAV, and a second COM. Want me to mark it Keep?

Walk away with a wiring-ready build sheet

Your finished plan lists every LRU with the reasoning behind it — ready to hand to your installer, or to turn into professional wiring diagrams in SkyWire Studio.

Build sheet
GDU 116NC — PFD with IFR GPS, NAV/COM & audio panel
GSU 25 ADAHRS + GMU 11 magnetometer (kept)
GTN 650 navigator on HSDB network (kept)
GFC 500X: GSA 28 pitch/roll + GMC 507 (kept)
Ready for wiring diagrams

Wire it with the copilot at your side

Open the SkyWire Studio wiring editor and the Loom AI Copilot comes with you. It sees the diagram as you draw it — and your build plan — so bench-level questions like breaker sizing, wire labels, and pin-level hookups get answered the moment they come up.

Loom AI - Copilot · wiring editor
What breaker do I need for the GDU 116, and what do I label it?
Reading your diagram — Power Distribution sheet
Feed J1015 pins 1, 18, 35 from your Avionics Bus through a 7.5A breaker — label it PFD1, and 20 AWG is right for that run.

Like having an avionics shop on speed dial

The Loom AI Flight Deck Builder Assistant guides every step — and because it's tied to your plan, its advice always reflects your aircraft, your equipment, and your budget.

Talks like a shop tech, not a search engine

Plain-language answers about buses, compatibility, and trade-offs — from years of AXIS and G3X-era systems knowledge.

Your plan writes itself

Mention your aircraft or a decision in chat and it lands on your build sheet instantly. The wizard even advances on its own.

Knows what carries over

Upgrading from G3X Touch? It knows the panel cutout matches and which LRUs and wiring stay — so you only buy what you need.

From plan to panel

Your build sheet becomes real wiring diagrams

The Loom AI Flight Deck Builder is part of SkyWire Studio — the wiring diagram platform for aircraft avionics. Finish your plan, then draw the harnesses: pinouts, wire runs, and printable diagrams your installer will actually thank you for.

Loom AI CopilotNew

The same assistant follows you into the wiring editor. It sees the diagram you're drawing and your build plan — ask it breaker sizes, wire labels, or pin-level hookups as you go, and your credits work in both places.
