Only approved devices may provide altitude to the GTX 32 in accordance with 14 CFR Part 91.217. In addition, all altitude reporting devices installed in the aircraft must meet certification requirements of 14 CFR Part 91.413. The installer must select an altitude reporting device that is a certified altitude source for the particular aircraft. For additional information, refer to GNS 480 (CNX80) Installation Manual 560-0982-01 for the altitude data reporting configuration. 4.4 Discrete Inputs/Outputs Table 4-4.
