Got it, so even though the 430 was driving the Century HSI with glide slope already the G5 still needs the GAD 29 to receive same infoīasically, yes, but there is more to it than that. Digital G5 not being able to transmit two lines across the screen from their own 430 and needing another box is rocket science. Should AV30 become insufficient a year later when I’m ready to bust thru clouds pulling it out for a G5 isn’t rocket science. Seen and flown 2 different planes (none Mooney) with AV30 and was genuinely impressed. Compare timeline of UAvionix to some other companies we waiting for on here and you gotta agree they’re not doing too bad. I am a year away from IMC and at the rate these guys are taking care of stuff I choose to believe they will sort out the issues. It’s the reason my HSI is a G5 and not AV30 (and legality). So many reasons why I chose this route, vacuum gotta go, all these steam gauges and pump are timing out anyway, been an early adopter of SkyBeacon working with UAvionix on certified units, had first test batch installed on couple planes. Presession sure will be an issue if it’s there but I plan on displaying GPS on top tape to begin with in AI mode. I hear you, am aware of some of the potential issues on it. that’s where my IR training ended the first attempt. GAD29 (?) but, the GI275 has that hardware included internally.Ĭheck your compass to make sure it is working smoothly. There is still time for it to get straightened out. There are a few things that would keep most people not going into IMC with that. it might not be ready for prime time yet. I'm justifying my stupidity that current steam gauge already shows course and glideslope on GPS and VLOC so can G5 show same info without the GAD 29.Ĭheck on the AV-30. I am decent on avionics work but hate pinning out the 430 with passion and my weak spot is ARINC knowledge. So do I need the GAD 29? The existing HSI is already being driven by the 430 and the G5 is replacing the analog, already shows glideslope on ILS (non-waas so no VNAV which I am OK with). On every single page of the install manual it shows as its only needed if G5 is being interfaced to 2nd G5 or a third party navigator or to an autopilot. I know G5 must have GMU 11 for a magnetometer but my dilemma is the GAD 29. I have GNS 430 (non-waas) which already drives vacuum driven HSI. My problem is I am installing Garmin G5 as my HSI, I want to replace the old analog one with a single G5. I’m in the middle of installing uAvionix AV-30 as my primary AI and got Moving Map, audio and all the wiring done for it no issues there but. I’m about to start my IFR training on my M20E and found the old steam gauges don't cut it so I spent my never-gonna-happen-or-come-out autopilot budget on safety items. I am sure this has already been asked gazillion times and I searched the forum for half hour and couldn’t find the answer.
