MODEL DESCRIPTIONS Model Descriptions This guide covers the operation of the GPS 400W, GNC 420W, GNC 420AW, GNS 430W, and GNS 430AW. In general, all models will be referred to as the 400W-series, except where there are physical or operational differences. The 400W-series units are 6.25" wide and 2.66" high. The display is a 240-by-128 pixel color LCD. The units include two removable data cards: one with a Jeppesen database (inserted in the left-most card slot) and the second is a Terrain database (inserted in the right-most card slot). receiver. The GDL 69A can also allow you to subscribe to XM audio services. GPS 400W GNC 420W GNC 420AW GNS 430W GNS 430AW GPS 400W The GPS 400W 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 400W can simultaneously give aviators vital approach information and weather and traffic data in relation to their position on a 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 aviation database (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 400W as a multi-function display (MFD), especially when it is coupled with traffic, lightning detection, and weather interfaces like Ryan TCAD, TIS from the Garmin GTX 330 Mode S transponder, L3 SKYWATCH™, or STORMSCOPE® WX 500. With the FDE prediction program included with the Trainer CD, the GPS 400W may be used for oceanic or remote operations. For the latest in graphical and textual weather information, the GPS 400W can connect to XM Satellite Radio's XM WX Weather Service via the GDL 69/69A datalink GNC 420W and GNC 420AW The GNC 420W and GNC 420AW include all of the features of the GPS 400W, and also include an IFR certified airborne VHF communications transceiver. This multipurpose unit is available with either a 10-watt (GNS 420W) or 16-watt (GNS 420AW) Com transmitter. Since the only difference between these two units is the power of the communications transmitter, references to the GNC 420W will also include the GNC 420 AW. GNS 430W and GNS 430AW The GNS 430W and GNS 430AW include all of the features of the GPS 420W/420AW, and also include IFR certified airborne VOR/Localizer and Glideslope receivers. This multipurpose unit is available with either a 10-watt (GNS 430W) or 16-watt (GNS 430AW) Com transmitter. Since the only difference between these two units is the power of the communications transmitter, references to the GNS 430W will also include the GNS 430 AW.
