1.4 LICENSE REQUIREMENTS The following guidance is provided to help ensure the proper licensing of the GNS 530 COM within the United States and its territories. Outside the United States, the operator must verify compliance with any applicable communications regulations for the area in which the equipment is operated. 1. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 effective February 8, 1996 provides the FCC discretion to eliminate radio station license requirements for aircraft. At present, an individu

The FDE function is built into the GPS 500/GNS 530 and does not require pilot interaction. In contrast, the FDE Prediction Program does require pilot interaction and must be used prior to oceanic/remote area flights to predict FDE availability. The 500 Series Trainer software includes an FDE Prediction Program to meet the requirements for GPS as a primary means of navigation for oceanic/remote operations per N8110.60. The oceanic flight phase occurs on the GPS 500/GNS 530 when more than 200 nau

2.2.6 ANTENNA LIMITATIONS Garmin’s GA 56 Antennas are recommended for installations where the airspeed of the aircraft is subsonic. In such installations, GA 56—Mod 1 or later—must be used. See the COM, VOR/LOC, and Glideslope antenna specifications for their limitations. 2.2.7 VHF COM INTERFERENCE OF GPS On many panel-mounted installations, VHF COM transceivers can radiate strong harmonics from the transceiver and its antenna. The 500 Series COM does not interfere with its own GPS section. How

2.3 RACK CONSIDERATIONS Plan a location which gives the pilot complete and comfortable access to the entire keypad and which is plainly visible from the pilot’s perspective. Installation of remote switches and annunciators may not be required if the 500 Series unit is installed in the pilot’s normal field of view (refer to the FAA letter in Appendix B). Check that there is adequate depth for the rack in the instrument panel. A location away from heating vents or other sources of heat generatio
