Garmin GNS 530 GPS/NAV/Comm

The Garmin 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 comm offers a choice of 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz spacing for 760 or 3040 channel configuration respectively. A huge Jeppesen database (which can be updated with front-loading data cards) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSS, Approach, SIDs/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" display make the pilot-critical information easy to read and interpret. It's especially true of the 530's basemap. You enjoy enhanced situational awareness by seeing your 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'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.

Garmin GNS 430 GPS/NAV/Comm

Garmin GNC 300XL TSO


Today's Garmin GNC 300XL TSO takes its place with other navigation and communication pioneers, combining a powerful 12 parallel channel receiver with a 760 channel VHF transceiver with a C129a, A1 IFR certified moving map GPS/comm. This marries two of Garmin's product development strengths: crisp, high-detail moving map technology and Garmin's legacy of proven, approach-certified IFR GPS receivers.
The GNC 300XL TSO's Moving Map is exceptionally sharp, with the familiar yellow-on-black DSTN (doublesuper twist nematic) LCD display that won rave reviews in the VFR-only GPS 150XL and GNC 250XL. Individual pixels in these displays are transparent to the viewer, and SUAs actually appear as curved rings, with easily distinguishable alphanumeric characters and a high-resolution display that's readable from every angle in all lighting conditions. A photocell in the display automatically controls the intensity of the backlight and will reverse the display from black-on-yellow to yellow-on-black for maximum contrast in daylight or nighttime viewing. Aviators can also choose to make these adjustments manually depending on their individual preferences.

GNC 420XL GPS/COMM


With the GNC 420, Garmin has taken the navigation accuracy of a GPS and combined it with a 10-watt Comm and a color display to make the first color GPS/comm in the industry. With its frequency nomination feature, pilots can easily load their next Comm frequency into standby with the touch of a button. Additionally, the GNC 420 is a self-contained unit–meaning annunciation is included in one box–eliminating the need and additional expense of a separate annunciation unit. The GNC 420 is also TSO C129a certified for a non-precision approach.

GTX 327 TSO


With the introduction of the GTX 327 solid-state Mode C digital transponder, Garmin revolutionizes a part of the panel that has been long overlooked. This full-featured, TSO certified transponder brings a unique level of functionality and utility to your airplane. Its solid-state transmitter provides 200 watts nominal power output and eliminates the need for a cavity tube which, when it fails, will be expensive to replace. And since the GTX 327's design is 100 percent solid state, there's lower power consumption, much lower heat emission, and no warm up time–all of which translates into a longer service life.
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.

GMA 340 NAV/COMM


Garmin's new GMA 340 audio panel meets the needs of aircraft owners and operators who require reliability and versatility in the essential audio switching function.
The GMA 340 features innovative LED-illuminated push button controls that allow audio selection of both NAV and Comm audio. Large buttons activate the Comm microphone and audios for up to three Comm transceivers to simplify cockpit workload. Another feature of the GMA 340 is the Split Comm, which allows the pilot to transmit/receive on Comm 1 and the co-pilot to transmit/receive on Comm 2. MASQ™ processing reduces ambient noise from the avionics inputs. Comm transmit indication is also provided. Speaker selection is available to monitor the aircraft radios or to make PA announcements. There are two unswitched inputs for telephone ringers, altitude alert warnings, or other warning tones. In addition, the GMA 340 includes a six-place VOX intercom with three selectable modes of isolation, dual stereo music inputs, and independent pilot, co-pilot, and passenger volume control. Each microphone input has a dedicated VOX circuit to ensure that only the active microphone is heard when squelch is broken. Special cabin noise de-emphasis circuitry enhances cockpit communications. Also standard is the three-light Marker Beacon Receiver/Indicator with high/low sensitivity selection and SmartMute™ marker audio muting.
Surface mount technology provides shallow depth and light weight, which simplifies installation in the tightest aircraft spaces and saves precious panel space. Operation is available in 14 or 28 volts without voltage converters or dropping resistors. Installation is simplified with the built-in intercom and marker beacon, and the GMA 340 also features photo cell dimming of annunciators, pilot fail-safe mode connection to Comm 1, and FAA TSO approval.

PS ENGINEERING PW7000 Audio Communications

PM7000

The PMA7000 represents the next evolutionary step in audio control. With the introduction of IntelliVoxtm, the proprietary automatic VOX squelch control, intercom operation is greatly simplified. Safety and convenience are paramount in the PMA7000M-S development. High quality, six-pole active filtering on individual microphone channels forms the heart of the intercom system. The IntelliVoxtm constantly adjusts the squelch threshold on each microphone input, differentiating between cabin noise and human speech. Split mode communications capability allows crew members to use both radios independently. An optional DRAWS (Digital Recording and Audio Warning System) system includes a recorder that stores the last ATC communications. The alert system interfaces to engine gages to provide voice announcements of out-of-limit indications. This unit is designed to be a pin-compatible replacement for the PMA6000M-S, as well as the KMA-24.  The positive-action buttons and legends are backlit for nighttime viewing. LED indicators provide annunciation of the selected modes. The receiver buttons also latch, for unambiguous mode identification even in bright sunlight. Fail-safe feature automatically connects the pilot to Com 1 if the unit or power fails. The PMA7000 also gives the pilot and passengers audio access to wireless telephone systems. Two individual high-fidelity stereo inputs allow entertainment flexibility for passengers and crew. Music source 1 is always provided to the pilots, music 2 is presented in the passenger area. A "swap" function allows pilots to use a yoke-mounted button to switch between Com 1 and Comm 2 without reaching for the panel. Buttons are removable for custom configurations. 

PMA 6000 
pma6000 
The PMA6000 combines an audio selector panel with a top-quality intercom and a slew of features to enhance versatility and utility. Among the high points: Designed to be pin-compatible with the popular Bendix/King KMA-24 audio selector panel, the PMA6000 takes advantage of existing wiring to smooth installation. The PMA 6000 is now available in stereo! The PMA6000 offers space for an optional marker-beacon receiver. Split pilot and copilot communications capability allows crew members to independently and simultaneously use both radios, even transmitting simultaneously on different frequencies.  Pilot and crew/passenger isolate functions are an integral part of the design.  With split music inputs, front-seaters can bop to Thelonius Monk while the back jams on British Punk. Dual music input jacks for passengers and crew are standard feature. A remote "swap" function allows pilots to use a yoke-mounted switch to select Comm 1 and Comm 2 options without reaching for the panel.
