GNS 530W / GNS 430W

Now, Garmin’s most

popular GPS/Comm

navigators are fully

certified to fly WAAS

approaches.

Glideslope to go.

Joining the previously WAAS-certified (Gamma-3level) GNS 480 in Garmin’s panel-mount lineup, boththe GNS 430W and 530W are now TSO’d to theFAA’s most stringent C146a “sole means” criteria foren route, terminal and approach phases of flight.Powered by a robust 15-channel GPS receivergenerating five position updates per second, theGNS 430W and 530W units combine the bestfeatures of a moving-map multi-function display withtakeoff-to-touchdown navigation and radiocommunication capabilities. New high-speed 5 Hzprocessing yields navigation calculations and mapredraw rates that are five times faster than earlierGNS series navigators! And new high-resolutionterrain datafor more details than ever before.

A huge Jeppesen® database (which can be updatedwith front-loading data cards) contains locationreference for all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections,Flight Service Stations, published approaches,SIDs/STARs, Special Use Airspace and geopoliticalboundaries. Plus, with full “Gamma-3” WAAScertification, both the GNS 430W and 530W nowoffer pilots the capability to fly GPS-guided verticalapproaches down to ILS-comparable minimums

(200-ft. decision height, 1/2-mile visibility) – withoutrelying on ground-based navigation aids of any kind.

WAASome capability.

Thanks to WAAS – the FAA’s Wide AreaAugmentation System – thousands of previouslyaccess-limited general aviation airports now havethe potential to offer full “glideslope” instrumentapproaches similar to a Category One ILS (wheresuitable airport conditions exist.) And, best of all,they can do so without adding the $1-to-1.5 millionin ground-based infrastructure required to install aground-based precision approach system.

WAAS is literally changing the landscape of IFRnavigation. And it’s happening faster than mostpilots realize.

Already, WAAS technology offers advisory vertical,as well as lateral, guidance for nearly 1,000non-precision LNAV/VNAV approaches at agrowing list of U.S. airports. In fact, over 500 LPV“glideslope” approaches have already beenpublished by the FAA – with hundreds morescheduled to be added in the months ahead.WAAS is usable now. And its utility will only improve

With the introduction of its “W” versions of the GNS 430/530, Garmin brings two of

aviation’s best-selling GPS products into its WAAS-certified family of navigators.

And, in the process, we’re also bringing GPS “glideslope” access into hundreds (and,

eventually, thousands) of U.S. airports not currently served by ground-based ILS

approaches.

Suddenly, the world of IFR flying is open to a whole new range of possibilities.

And Garmin one-box GPS/COMM navigator systems are clearly leading the way.

as many more new approaches are published.Since initiating WAAS service delivery in 2003,the FAA has concentrated on extending LPVapproach capabilities to all areas of thecontinental United States and most of Alaska,Canada and Mexico. This expansion should becompleted well before the end of the decade.Not only does WAAS significantly improve theaccuracy, integrity and availability of GPS forapproaches, but it’s also a greatbackup/overlay system for existing ILSprocedures. Ensuring more efficient use of thenation’s airspace and its system of airports,WAAS-enabled procedures can open up moreusable airspace to GA pilots, provide moredirect routings, and make hundreds of today’sfair-weather-only airports available for landingoperations in reduced-visibility IFR conditions.Adding capacity and utility, without addinginfrastructure – that’s the beauty of GPS withWAAS.

But wait, there’s more.

In addition to their built-in WAAS navigationcapabilities, both the GNS 430W and 530Wfeature a wealth of safety-enhancing graphicalflight capabilities. MFD-like “big picture”displays (4-inch diagonal on the GNS 430W;5-inches on the GNS 530W) offer brilliantcolor, advanced backlighting and crispreadability, even in direct sunlight. The digitaldisplays for comm frequencies, VOR/LOCfrequencies and waypoint are presented inlarge, easy-to-read, white-on-blue numericson the left side of the screen. An electronicCDI display with digital track-error indicationprovides a useful backup to one’s primary

flight instruments. And other helpful featuresinclude checklists, timers and assortedreference pages for trip planning, localfrequencies and nearest airports. Effective useof color on the moving map display makes foreasy viewing of the aircraft’s current positionin relation to ground features, chart data,navaids, flight plan routings, approachprocedures, and more – all available to thepilot at a glance.

For added protection, a built-in terrainelevation and obstacles database triggerscolor-coded alerts to warn pilots as theiraircraft approaches potentially hazardousground structures or rising terrain. (Class BTAWS alerting is also available as an optionon the GNS 530W.) Likewise, it’s easy tointerface the GNS 430W/530W with a widearray of optional sensors and tracking systems– allowing pilots to see and avoid hazardsfrom threatening weather, lightning or otherconverging aircraft in the vicinity.

Owners who install Garmin’s GDL 69™ datalink receiver – and subscribe to the XM WXSatellite Weather service – can have instantaccess to graphical NEXRAD weather,METARs, TAFs, TFRs, surface precipitation andmore. These near real-time weather updatescan be received and displayed anywhere inthe U.S., regardless of altitude. And byzooming the NEXRAD screen range out to2000 nm, pilots can easily monitor the overallweather situation nationwide. Also, for thebest in enroute audio entertainment (alongwith full weather alerting), both GNS 430Wand 530W units provide a user interface for

Now you’re talking.

On the comm side of the system, both the GNS430W and 530W offer a TSO’d VHF transceiver ina choice of 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz spacing for 760 or2280 channel operation, respectively. The standardGNS 430W and 530W make efficient use of their10 watts of power output. But for users wantingeven more juice, “A” versions of these units areavailable at slightly higher cost – each deliveringup to 16 watts of extended-range talk power.

The future flies with WAAS.

In less than a generation, Garmin avionics havebecome the clear #1 choice in the owner-flownaircraft market. In fact, nearly three-fourths of all U.S.single- and twin-engine piston and turbine aircraftretrofitted since 2000 are now flying with GarminGPS-enabled equipment.

The reasons are easy to identify in both the GNS430W and its larger-screen stackmate, the GNS530W. These one-box, multifunctional units areloaded with features and guidance capabilitiespreviously found only on high-end FMS equipment.Quality construction, rugged reliability, low-learning-curve operation, and straightforward installation andservicing keep the cost of ownership low. And sincethey’ll fit in the same standard size mounting traysas their predecessors, retrofit upgrades are a snap.

How WAAS Works.

WAAS is an extremely accurate and reliable navigationreference system that works together with the GPSconstellation of satellites to provide high-precisionvertical and horizontal guidance information across abroad geographical area.

WAAS corrects for GPS signal errors caused by ionosphericdisturbances, clock errors, satellite orbit drift, etc.Approximately 25 wide area ground reference stationsare linked to form the ground portion of the U.S. WAASnetwork. The ground reference stations receive signals fromGPS satellites and identify any errors by comparing the GPSderived position to its known, surveyed position. Eachstation in the network relays its data to two wide areamaster stations (WMS), located on the East and Westcoasts. At these stations, correctional information forspecific geographical areas is computed. A correctionmessage is prepared by each master station, sent to thethree geostationary ground uplink stations and relayed tothe system’s two geostationary communications satellites.

The GPS correction message is then broadcast vianavigation transponders on the WAAS Geo Satellitesso that it can be received by approved TSO C146aGPS/WAAS receivers. WAAS improves basic GPS accuracyto approximately 2 meters vertically and 1 meterhorizontally, providing position data that’s up to 5 timesmore precise than non-WAAS-augmented GPS signals.

Currently, WAAS satellite coverage is only available inNorth America – although it should be compatible withall other international satellite-based augmentationsystems under development. In Asia, the Japanesegovernment is producing a version called the Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS), whileEurope has the Euro Geostationary Navigation OverlayService (EGNOS). Eventually, GPS users around the worldwill have access to precise position data using these andother compatible systems.
