Garmin® is the leader in Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and an innovator in consumer electronics. They serve both the aviation and consumer markets. Their products are used in flying, boating, driving, hiking, and many other activities

 GNS480   

The GNS 480 provides advanced integration of leading-edge technologies with the following innovative features:

  • Glideslope guidance for LNAV/VNAV (Gamma 2) and LPV (Gamma 3) approaches, and advisory vertical guidance for other non-precision approaches with vertical path data associated with them
  • Reversionary Modes on the Approach
  • Automatic SUSPend key function
  • New interfaces to Garmin GTX 330/33/320/32 Mode S/C transponders
  • New interface to display traffic data from L-3 Avionics Systems Skywatch
  • New "NAV" page with a full compass rose CDI display
  • Flight Planning page enhancements
  • Dual GNS 480 flight plan crossfill capability
  • Ability to calculate RAIM when out of Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) coverage
  • Automatic frequency checking for ILS, backcourse, and VOR approaches
  • Notification of navigation to non-WGS 84-compliant waypoints in the active flight plan
  • Ability to manually select maximum CDI scaling

As aviation’s first GPS navigator to feature precision guidance via WAAS, the GNS 480 now meets the strictest level of certification for WAAS navigation. Previously, Instrument Landing System (ILS) availability was needed for a precision approach in low-visibility conditions. Now, upon FAA approval, the GNS 480 will utilize satellite-based navaids for precise lateral and vertical approach guidance—similar to ILS operations—without the need for ground-based navaids of any kind, since avionics certified to Gamma-3 requirements meet the FAA’s standards for Localizer-equivalent Precision with Vertical (LPV) guidance.

At the heart of the GNS 480 is a 15-channel WAAS receiver that updates the aircraft’s position at a rate of five times per second. Like Garmin’s other integrated avionics, the GNS 480 provides oceanic-approved IFR GPS/NAV/COM functionality and ILS/VOR capabilities—but does so on a 3.8-inch (diagonal), 256-color moving-map display.

It has the built-in controls for a remote transponder, such as the GTX 33, Garmin’s new solid-state Mode S transponder that can be used to deliver traffic advisories to the GNS 480 via the FAA’s Traffic Information Service (TIS). With a TIS datalink, a pilot essentially sees what the ATC sees, including trend vectors and altitude data of nearby aircraft.

The GNS 480 is also seamlessly integrated to work specifically with the MX20 multi-function display (MFD). When coupled with the MX20, range changes performed on the GNS 480 are simultaneously reflected on the MFD. When the pilot selects an approach on the GNS 480, the approach plate is automatically depicted on the MX20 with Jeppesen® Chart View™. Pilots can also view a vertical profile of the approach using the MFD’s split-screen capability.

Working in tandem with standard autopilots that accept roll-steering commands, the GNS 480 behaves like a high-end flight management system (FMS) by providing the necessary guidance data to fly the aircraft through all approach procedures.

    ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
  • Certification: TSO C146a, Levels 1, 2, 3 (LPV)
  • FMS operation: Dedicated buttons and soft-key operation for expanded functionality
  • "Smart Key" NAV function: Brings up an HSI-like compass rose with CDI and vertical deviation indicator (VDI) for precise lateral and vertical guidance as a backup to primary instruments during IFR operations
  • VHF COM transceiver: 760 channels and 8-watt transmitting power; standby frequency monitoring capabilities
  • VHF NAV receiver: 200 channels for VOR, localizer and glideslope operation; dual-station tracking feature to cross-check position fixes during approach procedures
  • Flight planning: Capacity for 50 flight plans with 150 legs
  • Annunciation: Voice messaging and audio alerting
  • Power: 11-36 Vdc
  • Interface options: RS232, RS422, and ARINC 429
  • Aircraft support: STC Approved Model List (AML) for more than 700 aircraft

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. A perfect partner for the MX20 MFD. With the FDE prediction program, the GNS 530 may be used for oceanic or remote operations.

This multipurpose unit is available with either a 10-watt (GNS 530) or 16-watt (GNS 530A) COM.

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.

The GTX 320A will operate at 14 or 28 volts without the requirement for external voltage converters or dropping resistors.

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.

The GTX™ 330/33 are 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.

The GTX 330D & GTX33D contains all of the features of the GTX 330 & GTX33, and adds antenna diversity for improved visibility to TCAS-equipped aircraft flying above you.
