CAUTION: The Global Positioning System is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin 400W-series are precision electronic NAVigation AIDs (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and therefore become unsafe.
CAUTION: Use the 400W-series at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual and the Flight Manual Supplement, and thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the 400W-series to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDS, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
WARNING: The altitude calculated by the 400W-series is geometric height above mean sea level and could vary signif icantly from altitude displayed by pressure altimeters in aircraft.
WARNING: The Jeppesen database incorporated in the 400W-series must be updated regularly in order to ensure that its information is current. Updates are released every 28 days. A database information packet is included in your 400W-series package. Pilots using an out-of-date database do so entirely at their own risk!
CAUTION: GPS receivers operate by receiving and decoding very low power radio signals broadcast by satellites. It is possible that in some situations other radio equipment or electronic equipment used in close proximity to a GPS receiver may create electromagnetic interference (EMI) which may affect the ability of the GPS receiver to receive and decode the satellite signals. In such event, the interference may be reduced or eliminated by switching off the source of interference or moving the GPS receiver away from it.
WARNING: VNAV is to be used for advisory purposes only. VNAV messages or vertical speed required should not be used to maintain terrain or ATC clearances. Terrain and ATC clearances are the sole responsibility of the pilot.
INTRODUCTION
Cautions
CAUTION: The electronic chart is an aid to navigation and is designed to facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not replace them. Land and water data is provided only as a general reference to your surroundings. The positional accuracy of the land and water data is not of a precision suitable for use in navigation and it should not be used for navigation. Only offiicial government charts and notices contain all information needed for safe navigation – and, as always, the user is responsible for their prudent use.
CAUTION: The Terrain feature is for supplemental awareness only. The pilot/crew is responsible for all terrain and obstacle avoidance using information not provided by the 400W-series Terrain feature.
CAUTION: The Garmin 400W-series does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only
be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifiications could void your warranty and authority to operate this device under FCC Part 15 regulations.
NOTE: The GNS 400W-series units use a different database than in the legacy units. The databases are incompatible between units. The GNS 400W-series units must use a WAAS enabled database.
NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our website at www.garmin.com/prop65.
NOTE: It is the pilot’s responsibility for initial missed approach guidance in accordance with published procedure. The unit may not provide correct guidance until established on a defiined leg.
NOTE: GPS level of service annunciations (LPV, ENR, etc. as shown on page 83) are not applicable to the external CDI (or HSI) when VLOC is active.

This guide covers the operation of the GPS 400W, GNC 420W, GNC 420AW, GNS 430W, GNS 430AW. In general, all models will be referred to as the 400Wseries, 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 being a Terrain database (inserted in the right-most card slot).
GPS 400W
The GPS 400W has a WAAS GPS engine and is TSO C146a certified for primary domestic, oceanic, and remote navigation including en route, terminal, and non-precision approaches, and approaches with vertical guidance, such as LPV and LNAV/VNAV. 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 database. The huge Jeppesen database (that can be updated with a front-loading data card) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSS, Approach, DPs/STARs, and SUA information.
Pilots will enjoy the GPS 400W as an 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, or L3 SKYWATCH™, or STORMSCOPE® WX 500. With the PC-based FDE prediction program, 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

The Garmin 400W-series provides you accurate navigational data and some models also have communication capability, along with non-precision and precision approach certification in the IFR environment. The Takeoff Tour is designed to familiarize you with the operation of the 400W-series — including powering up the unit, changing frequencies, entering data, performing a simple direct-to, selecting IFR procedures and provides a limited introduction to using flight plans. In addition, this section briefly covers the default navigation, map and frequency pages available as part of the NAV page group. These pages will be used for most of your in-flight navigation.
The Takeoff Tour assumes that the unit and antennas have been properly installed and you have not changed any of the 400W-series unit default settings. If you have changed any of the factory default settings (position format, units of measure, selectable fields, etc.), the pictures shown here may not exactly match what you see on your 400W-series unit. Prior to using your unit for the first time, we recommend that you taxi to a location that is well away from buildings and other aircraft so the unit can collect satellite data without interruption.
TAKEOFF TOUR
Power On
The 420W and 430W power and COM volume are controlled using the power/volume knob at the top left corner of the unit. The 400W power knob is located at the top left corner of the unit. Turning it clockwise will turn unit power on and increase the COM radio volume. After turning the unit on, a
welcome page will be displayed while the unit performs a self test, followed by the database confirmation pages which show the current database information on the NavData card (with the valid operating dates, cycle number and database type indicated). The database
is updated every 28 days, and must be current for approved instrument approach operations. Information on database subscriptions is available inside your 400W-series package.
To acknowledge the database information, press ENT.

Pushing the small left knob activates the tuning cursor in the desired frequency window. To select the active frequency, you must first enter the frequency in the standby field, and use the COM flip-flop (or VLOC flip-flop) key to move it to the active field.
To change the standby communication (COM) or VLOC frequency:
1.If the tuning cursor is not currently in the desired window (COM or VLOC), press the small left knob momentarily to switch the highlight between the COM and VLOC windows.Adjusting the frequencies with the large and small left knobs will affect the standby frequency.
2.Turn the large left knob to select the desired megahertz (MHz) value. For example, the “135” portion of the frequency “135.325”.
3.Turn the small left knob to select the desired kilohertz (kHz) value. For example, the “.325” portion of the frequency “135.325”.
4.To activate the selected frequency, press the appropriate flip-flop key—COM for communication frequencies or VLOC for VOR/Localizer frequencies.
Once you’ve entered the active frequency, simply repeat steps 1 through 3, above, to enter the standby frequency. After both communication frequencies have been entered, you may elect to keep the COM window ‘hot’ by leaving the cursor on the standby frequency, or move the cursor to the VLOC window by pressing the small left knob.
Once you’ve entered the active frequency, simply repeat steps 1 to 3, above, to enter the standby frequency. After both communication frequencies have been entered, you may elect to keep the COM window “hot” by leaving the cursor on the standby frequency, or move the cursor to the VLOC window by pressing the small left knob.
NOTE: When selecting VLOC frequencies, the tuning cursor automatically returns to the COM window after 30 seconds of inactivity.
NOTE: GPS level of service annunciations (LPV, ENR, etc. as shown on page 83) are not applicable to the external CDI (or HSI) when VLOC is active.
These features are only available in the 420W/430W units.

Nearest Airspace
The last page in the NRST group, the nearest airspace page, provides information for up to nine controlled or special-use airspaces near or in your flight path. Airspace information appears on this page based upon the same criteria used for airspace alert messages. Nearby airspace information and airspace alert messages are provided according to the following conditions:
•If your projected course will take you inside an airspace within the next ten minutes, the message “Airspace ahead -- less than 10 minutes” will appear.
•If you are within two nautical miles of an airspace and your current course will take you inside, the message “Airspace near and ahead” will appear.
•If you are within two nautical miles of an airspace and your current course will not take you inside, the message “Near airspace less than 2NM” will appear.
•If you have entered an airspace, the message
“Inside Airspace” will appear.
By default, airspace alert messages are turned off. When turned on, the message (MSG) annunciator located directly above the MSG key will flash to alert you to the airspace message. (See Section 9 Aux Pages - Setup 1 for information on enabling airspace alert messages.)
To view an airspace alert message:
1.Press the MSG key.The message page appears with the alert message.
When an airspace alert occurs, the message (MSG) annunciator will flash. Press MSG to view the alert message.
2.Press MSG again to return to the previous display.

Note that the airspace alerts are based upon threedimensional data (latitude, longitude and altitude) to avoid nuisance alerts. The alert boundaries for controlled airspace are also sectorized to provide complete information on any nearby airspace. Additional information about a nearby airspace—such as controlling agency, frequency and floor/ceiling limits—is available
