1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
This manual presents mechanical and electrical installation requirements for installing the GIA 63(W) as
part of a Garmin Integrated Flight Deck. The GIA 63(W) can be integrated into a variety of airframes
under an appropriate TC or STC. Each airframe installation may vary. Use only approved (type or
supplemental type) data for specific installation instructions in a particular aircraft.
1.2 Equipment Description
The GIA 63(W) is a microprocessor-based input/output Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) used in a Garmin
Integrated Flight Deck. The GIA 63(W) communicates with the GDU via Ethernet high-speed data bus
(HSDB), and with other LRUs using RS-232, RS-485/422, and ARINC 429. All configuration is done
through the GDU. The GIA 63(W) contains the following sub-assemblies:
• A main processor that interfaces with all LRUs in the G1000 sub-system and performs
calculations for the GFC 700 autopilot (if equipped).
• A twelve channel parallel GPS receiver that simultaneously tracks and uses up to 12 satellites.
The GIA 63W includes a 15 channel WAAS certified GPS receiver.
• A VHF COM transceiver that provides tuning from 118.00 to 136.992 MHz in 25 kHz or
8.33 kHz spacing for 760 or 2280 channel configuration respectively.
• A VOR/ILS localizer receiver that provides tuning from 108.00 to 117.95 MHz in 50 kHz
increments.
• An ILS glideslope receiver that provides tuning from 328.6 to 335.4 MHz as paired with the
frequency tuned on the VOR/ILS localizer receiver.
CAUTION
The operation of unapproved cellular telephones or other unapproved cellular devices
aboard aircraft while airborne is prohibited by FCC rules. Due to the potential for
interference with onboard systems, the operation of unapproved cellular communication
devices while onboard an aircraft that is on the ground is subject to FAA regulations
14 CFR 91.21.
FCC regulation 47 CFR 22.925 prohibits airborne operation of unapproved cellular
telephones installed in or carried aboard aircraft. Unapproved cellular telephones must
not be operated aboard any aircraft while the aircraft is off the ground. When any aircraft
leaves the ground, all unapproved cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be
turned off.
Unapproved cellular telephones that are on, even in a monitoring state, can disrupt GPS
performance.

requirements of DO-228.
2. The ability to mitigate the effects of the different gain characteristics of those
antennas by increasing the effective mask angle through operational limitations.
3. The ability to further increase the effective mask angle, through operational
limitations, to a level commensurate with test conditions used in the original TSO
qualification tests.
4. The ability to use -128 dBmic as the minimum GPS satellite signal-in-space for the
purpose of assessing the operational limitation.
5. The ability to use -128 dBmic as the minimum SBAS satellite signal-in-space for
the purpose of assessing the operational limitation.
3. Garmin was granted a deviation from RTCA/DO-229C paragraph 2.1.1.9 to use a 20
second satellite reacquisition time instead of a 10-second reacquisition time.

See Install Manual for additional appliance approvals
3. Garmin was granted a deviation to TSO-C169, paragraph 4.e requirement to mark
(DEV) after the TSO number on the equipment. Garmin will mark as follows, as TSOC169 is not the primary TSO and the Install Manual contains all of the TSO-C169
information including deviations.
TSO-C145a
See Install Manual for additional appliance approvals
4. Garmin was granted to deviate from TSO-C169 by allowing a 6dB reduction of
transmitter power during the Normal Operating Conditions – Emergency Operation Voltage

1.6.5 AFM/AFMS/POH Considerations
Per TSO-C9c deviation, the applicable AFM, AFMS, and/or POH shall list autopilot engagement
envelope for the certified aircraft.
Per TSO-C52b deviation, the applicable AFM, AFMS, and/or POH shall state that the system is not
designed to perform unusual attitude recoveries from attitudes outside this range (as defined in the
TSO-C52b deviation above). Ensure pilot operating guidance also states the FD operating envelope.
Due to the equipment’s TSO qualified performance in tracking low-elevation-angle satellites, the
following limitations must be included in the Aircraft Flight Manual or Aircraft Flight Manual
Supplement for GIA63W installations with GPS software version 2.40 or earlier, or in GIA63W
installations with antennas that require operational limitations (identified in Section 2.1.3.2):
This equipment does not comply with US 14 CFR Part 91, SFAR 97 requirements for
TSO-C145a/TSO-146a equipment when installed with certain models of GPS/WAAS antennas
identified in Section 2.1.3.2. Until complete compliance is demonstrated and approved by the
FAA, authorization to conduct any GPS or WAAS operation under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
requires that:
1. Aircraft using the GPS or WAAS capability of the GIA 63W navigation equipment under
IFR must be equipped with an approved and operational alternate means of navigation
appropriate to the flight with the exception of oceanic and remote operations.
2. For flight planning purposes, if an alternate airport is required, it must have an approved
instrument approach procedure other than GPS or RNAV that is anticipated to be operational
and available at the estimated time of arrival. All equipment required for this procedure must
be installed and operational.
3. For flight planning purposes, Garmin Prediction Program 006-A0154-01 with the <insert
installed antenna part number> antenna selection should be used to confirm the availability
of RAIM for the intended flight in accordance with the local aviation authority guidelines for
TSO-C129a equipment. WAAS NOTAMs (or their absence) and generic prediction tools do
not provide an acceptable indication of the availability for the GIA 63W equipment.
4. When flight planning an LNAV/VNAV or LPV approach, operators should use the Garmin
Prediction Program 006-A0154-01 with the <insert installed antenna part number> antenna
selection in addition to any NOTAMs issued for the approach.
The applicable AFM, AFMS, and/or POH shall also state the following instructions regarding the use of
the G1000 WFDE prediction program, which is required to be used for flight planning purposes for
Oceanic/Remote operations and when operating under the operational limitations listed above:
The G1000 WFDE prediction program works in combination with the Route Planning Software
(version 1.2 or later approved version). The route planning and WFDE prediction programs can
be downloaded from www.garmin.com
refer to the WFDE Prediction Program Instructions Garmin part number 190-00643-01.
. For information on using the WFDE prediction program,
