IFD5XX Installation Manual
1. These installation instructions assume that the
GPS/NAV/COM transceiver and GPS antenna can be
installed in a structurally sound manner in accordance with
the installation manual and AC 43.13-( ). All the aircraft
certification requirements must remain in compliance.
2. Mounting the GPS antenna on composite and pressurized
aircraft requires engineering guidance beyond the scope of
this manual. With respect to the Approved Model List STC,
the physical mounting of the antenna is specifically
excluded from the approval in the case of installations on
the pressure vessel of pressurized aircraft, composite
aircraft, and aircraft with a certification basis of
Amendment 23-45 or later, unless approved installation data
is listed in the Master Document List of the STC. All early
amendment, metal construction, non-pressurized aircraft
antenna installations must be installed consistent with
accepted industry practices. The installation must be
structurally sound and in accordance with FAA Advisory
Circular 43.13-1B and 43.13-2B. All other antennas must be
mounted using the manufacturers' installation data.
3. An Electrical Load Analysis must be accomplished to
determine that the electrical limits of the specific aircraft are
not exceeded. The Electrical Load Analysis, Functional
Hazard Assessment and other certification requirements for
the aircraft must remain in compliance.
4. The IFD5XX Forward Looking Terrain Alerting is not a
TSO-C151 system, and does not satisfy any Part 91/135
TAWS requirements.
5. Prior to starting IFD5XX installation, verify the aircraft
make and model is on the STC Approved Model List
(AML). Also, note any installation specific data for the make
and model in the AML.
Notes to Installers:
The following important issues regarding the Avidyne 700-00182-XXX GPS/NAV/COM
System installation should be noted during the planning stages.

1.7 Environmental Qualification Forms
The environmental Qualification for the IFD5XX is listed in Appendix A: Environmental
Qualification Form.
Note: If the IFD5XX has been exposed to extreme cold temperature prior start, it may take a
warm up period to achieve standard performance.
1.8 Databases
The IFD5XX utilizes several databases. All the databases can be loaded on the IFD using the
USB port on the IFD5XX. Reference the IFD5XX Pilot’s Guide for updating the IFD5XX
databases.
1.9 Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE)
FDE software is part of all IFD5XX systems and does not require any installer or pilot action
to operate. This FDE software is running at all times and if it detects an issue, it will alert the
pilot through Caution-Alerting System (CAS) messages.
When the IFD5XX is installed per the directions in this Installation Manual, it complies with
the governing requirements for GPS Primary Means of Navigation in Oceanic and Remote
Airspace (more than 200 nm from the nearest airport), when used with any commercially
available RAIM/FDE Prediction Program. Examples of these prediction programs include
the FAA’s raimprediction.net, Fltplan.com, www.sapt.faa.gov, and the Garmin FDE
Prediction Program.
These programs only need to be run under the following scenarios for 14 CFR Parts 91, 121,
125, and 135 operations where the IFD5XX is being used as the primary means of navigation
and:
TSO-C146 compliant antenna equipped aircraft that experience a
WAAS failure or when operating outside of SBAS coverage areas;
Non-TSO-C146 compliant antenna equipped aircraft (e.g. TSO-C129a
only compliant systems) when operating in Oceanic and Remote
airspace, Enroute and Terminal airspace, or during any
LNAV/VNAV, LP, or LPV approach.
Prior to conducting Class II navigation (remote/oceanic), the owner/operator must obtain
operational approval for using the IFD5XX system for long-range navigation from the
appropriate flight standards district office.

IFD5XX Installation Manual
1.10 STC Approved Model List
The aircraft listed on the Approved Model List STC are eligible to install the IFD5XX.
However, the installer must determine if the installation is in compliance with the limitations
stated in the STC and this manual. Any deviations from the STC and/or this manual must
have a separate installation approval.
Installations in Part 25/27/29 aircraft or Part 23 airplanes not listed on the AML STC may
install the IFD5XX, however, it will require additional installation approval (e.g. Field
approval, STC, or TC amendment), reference FAA Advisory Circular 23-22 as needed. If
installing a IFD5XX on a Part 27/29 aircraft via field approval, the Avidyne Helicopter tray
must be used, reference Table 13.
The installation of antennas on composite and/or pressurized aircraft requires engineering
guidance beyond the scope of this manual. With respect to the Approved Model List STC, the
physical mounting of the antenna is specifically excluded from the approval in the case of
installation on the pressure vessel of a pressurized aircraft, composite aircraft, and aircraft
with a certification basis of Amendment 23-45 or later, unless approved installation data is
listed in the Master Document List of the STC. All early amendment, metal construction, nonpressurized aircraft may install the GPS antenna using this manual. The installation must be
structurally sound and in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-( ). All other
antennas must be installed using the antenna manufacturer's installation data or FAA
Advisory Circular 43.13-( ).

IFD5XX Installation Manual
Note: Installations replacing an existing non-WAAS GPS/NAV/COM
transceiver cannot upgrade to a WAAS installation without performing a
major alteration.
Note: Installations replacing a GNS-530/W must verify the aircraft is on the
IFD5XX Approved Model List, Avidyne Document Number AVIFD-318.
Note: It is imperative that only one source of terrain cautions and warnings be
enabled on the airplane so as to avoid the potential for conflicting
information to be presented to the pilot. If a TAWS system is installed but
the IFD's internal TA and FLTA functions are to be used for terrain
avoidance, the TAWS system must be fully disabled. If a TAWS system is
to be used, its type must be properly configured on the IFD so that the
caution and warning indications generated by the TAWS system can be
displayed to the pilot and so that the IFD's TA and FLTA functions will be
inhibited.
Avidyne TA/FLTA is not approved TSO-C151 EGPWS unit.
The IFD system supports a Honeywell KGP560/860 system only. All other
external TAWS/EGPWS systems must be disable if the internal TA and
FLTA is operational on the IFD system.
2. Installation Considerations
The following section will describe installation instructions for the IFD5XX Unit. The IFD5XX
should be installed using standard industry practice while following guidance in FAA AC
43.13-( ), AC 20-138 ( ), and AC 20-67( ).
2.1 Plug & Play Considerations
The IFD5XX is designed to be a slide-in replacement for a GNS-530/W. For those
replacement installations in fixed wing aircraft, the existing aircraft tray and wiring can all be
reused. However, all electrical wiring, including power(s) and ground(s), should be verified
per installation data shown in Appendix D: Electrical Interface Drawings. Note that 14v
aircraft may be required to replace the installed circuit breaker and power and ground wiring
to accommodate the IFD5XX.
If the unit being replaced was a WAAS-enabled device, then the WAAS antennas previously
installed can be reused, assuming they are one of the GPS WAAS antennas identified in
Section 3.3.5.
If the unit being replaced was not a TAWS-enabled device, or if the TAWS Audio output
signals were not already connected to the aircraft audio panel(s), then some additional wiring
will be required from the IFD5XX tray to the aircraft audio panel(s) as identified in Section
6.11.1 in order to supply IFD5XX terrain alerting audio (FLTA functionality) and TOD chime
to the headsets. If the unit being replaced was a TAWS-enabled device used for 91/135
TAWS compliance, the IFD5XX cannot be installed without a separately installed
EGWPS/TAWS unit.
For those installations that use a combined IFD5XX – Avidyne AXP340 Mode S ADS-B
transponder, the on-ground/in-air discrete signal wire may need to be added from the
IFD5XX tray to the AXP340 tray as identified in Section 6.12.

as one on the below list but Avidyne has not tested it and can therefore not make any
compatibility claims.
