Section 1. GENERAL

1.1 Garmin 5XXW Series GPS/WAAS Nav Com

The Garmin GNS Series GPS/WAAS Navigator is a panel-mounted product that
contains a GPS/WAAS receiver for GPS approved primary navigation under
TSO-C146a, (plus optional VHF Com and VHF Nav radios) in an integrated
unit with a moving map and color display. The 5XXW Series unit features a
graphical display which may also be used to depict traffic, weather, or terrain
data. Optional TAWS annunciation and audio is available in some installations.

The navigation functions are operated by dedicated keys and graphical menus
which are controlled by the buttons and the dual concentric rotary knob along
the bottom and right side of the display.

Optional VHF Com and VHF Nav radio functions are controlled via dedicated
buttons and knobs on the left side of the display and adjacent to frequencies they
are controlling.

1.2 GPS/SBAS TSO-C146a Class 3 Operation

The GNS complies with AC 20-138A and has airworthiness approval for
navigation using GPS and SBAS (within the coverage of a Satellite Based
Augmentation System complying with ICAO Annex 10) for IFR en route,
terminal area, and non-precision approach operations (including those

approaches titled “GPS”, “or GPS”, and “RNAV (GPS)” approaches). The

Garmin GNSS navigation system is composed of the GNS navigator and
antenna, and is approved for approach procedures with vertical guidance

including “LPV” and “LNAV/VNAV” and without vertical guidance including
“LP” and “LNAV,” within the U.S. National Airspace System.

The Garmin GNSS navigation system complies with the equipment
requirements of AC 90-105 and meets the equipment performance and
functional requirements to conduct RNP terminal departure and arrival
procedures and RNP approach procedures without RF (radius to fix) legs. Part
91 subpart K, 121, 125, 129, and 135 operators require operational approval
from the FAA.

The Garmin GNSS navigation system complies with the equipment
requirements of AC 90-100A for RNAV 2 and RNAV 1 operations. In
accordance with AC 90-100A, Part 91 operators (except subpart K) following
the aircraft and training guidance in AC 90-100A are authorized to fly RNAV 2
and RNAV 1 procedures. Part 91 subpart K, 121, 125, 129, and 135 operators
require operational approval from the FAA.

Applicable to dual installations consisting of two Garmin
GNSS units: The Garmin GNSS navigation system has been

found to comply with the requirements for GPS Class II
oceanic and remote navigation (RNP-10) without time
limitations in accordance with AC 20-138A and FAA Order

8400.12A. The Garmin GNSS navigation system can be
used without reliance on other long-range navigation
systems. This does not constitute an operational approval.

The Garmin GNSS navigation system has been found to
comply with the navigation requirements for GPS Class II
oceanic and remote navigation (RNP-4) in accordance with
AC 20-138A and FAA Order 8400.33. The Garmin GNSS
navigation system can be used without reliance on other
long-range navigation systems. Additional equipment may
be required to obtain operational approval to utilize RNP-4
performance. This does not constitute an operational
approval.

The Garmin GNSS navigation system complies with the accuracy, integrity, and
continuity of function, and contains the minimum system functions required for
P-RNAV operations in accordance with JAA Administrative & Guidance
Material Section One: General Part 3: Temporary Guidance Leaflets, Leaflet No
10 (JAA TGL-10 Rev 1). The GNSS navigation system has one or more TSO­C146a Class 3 approved Garmin GNS Navigation Systems. The Garmin GNSS
navigation system complies with the accuracy, integrity, and continuity of
function, and contains the minimum system functions required for B-RNAV
operations in accordance with EASA AMC 20-4. The Garmin GNSS navigation
system complies with the equipment requirements for P-RNAV and B­RNAV/RNAV-5 operations in accordance with AC 90-96A CHG 1. This does
not constitute an operational approval.

Garmin International holds an FAA Type 2 Letter of Acceptance (LOA) in
accordance with AC 20-153 for database integrity, quality, and database
management practices for the navigation database. Flight crew and operators can
view the LOA status at FlyGarmin.com then select “Type 2 LOA Status.”

Navigation information is referenced to the WGS-84 reference system.

Note that for some types of aircraft operation and for operation in non-U.S.
airspace, separate operational approval(s) may be required in addition to
equipment installation and airworthiness approval.
