Model Descriptions

This guide covers the operation of the GNS 530W, GNS

530AW, and the GPS 500W. In general, all models will be

referred to as the 500W-series, except where there are physi-

cal or operational differences. The 500W-series units are 6.25"

wide and 4.60" high. The display is a 320 by 234 pixel color

LCD. The units include two removable data cards, one with

a Jeppesen aviation database (inserted in the left-most card

slot) and the second is a Terrain database (inserted in the

right-most card slot).

GPS 500W

The GPS 500W is a GPS-only unit with a WAAS GPS

engine and is TSO C146a certified for en route, terminal,

precision, and non-precision approaches. The GPS 500W

can simultaneously give aviators vital approach infor-

mation and weather and traffic data in relation to their

position on a large, color moving map display. Thanks to

a high-contrast color display, the information can be easily

read from wide viewing angles even in direct sunlight.

Its color moving map features a built-in database that

shows cities, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes, coastlines,

and a complete Jeppesen aviation database. The 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 obstacle

and terrain databases provide an aid to navigation to help

you work with approved navigation charts.

Pilots will enjoy the GPS 500W as an Multi-Function

Display (MFD), especially when it is coupled with traf-

fic, lightning detection, and weather interfaces like Ryan

TCAD, TIS from the Garmin GTX 330 Mode S transponder,

L3 SKYWATCH™, or STORMSCOPE

Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) prediction program

included with the Trainer CD, the GPS 500W may be used

for oceanic or remote operations. For the latest in graphical

and textual weather information, the GPS 500W can con-
