1.6Reference

1.6.1 Terminology

ADS-B or ADS-B Out refers to version 2 ADS-B Out only.

ADS-B In refers to TIS-B traffic and FIS-B weather received from ground stations over UAT as well as ADS-B and ADS-R traffic targets received directly over 1090 MHz or UAT.

Throughout this document references will be made to metallic aircraft. For the purposes of this manual, metallic aircraft will be those with an aluminum skin. Nonmetallic aircraft refers to all other aircraft (e.g., wooden aircraft, aircraft with composite skin, or aircraft with tube and fabric construction).

Unless otherwise stated, all units of measure are US standard units.

The term squitter refers to a burst or broadcast of aircraft-tracking data that is transmitted periodically by a

Mode S transponder without interrogation from a controller’s radar.

2.SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

2.1Equipment Descriptions

2.1.1 GPS 175

The GPS 175 is a panel-mounted 2” GPS Navigator. The GPS 175 features a capacitive touch-screen, full-color moving map display, power/home button, dual concentric rotary knob with push entry, SD card slot, and photo cell. The internal AHRS sensor cannot be used to drive anything other than the display of attitude on a non-certified PED. The built in Bluetooth allows for flight plan I/O and GPS position interface with a PED (Database concierge only available through Flight Stream 510). The GPS 175 is capable of providing TSO-C146e compliant GPS/WAAS navigation for en route, terminal, non-precision and precision capabilities (LPV) when interfaced with a CDI. The GPS 175 is also a certified ADS-B Out position source. The bezel of the GPS 175 is 2 inches x 6.25 inches and is designed to fit in the same location as older 2 inch avionics, such as GNC 255 or GTR 225.

2.1.2 GNX 375

The GNX 375 is a panel-mounted 2” GPS Navigator and Transponder. The GNX 375 features a capacitive touch-screen, full-color moving map display, power/home button, dual concentric rotary knob with push entry, SD card slot, and photo cell. The GNX 375 has the same capabilities as the GPS 175, but has a Mode S transponder and ADS-B receiver. The internal AHRS sensor cannot be used to drive anything other than the display of attitude on a non-certified PED. The built in Bluetooth will allow flight plan I/O, GPS position, and ADS-B Weather/Traffic interface with a PED but will not allow software or database loading. The GPS navigation function is capable of providing TSO-C146e compliant GPS/WAAS navigation for en route, terminal, non-precision and precision capabilities (LPV) when interfaced with a CDI. The bezel of the GNX 375 is 2 inches x 6.25 inches and is designed to fit in the same location as older 2 inch avionics, such as GTX 327.

2.1.3 GNC 355

The GNC 355 is a panel-mounted 2” GPS Navigator and COM radio. The GNC 355 features a capacitive touch-screen, full-color moving map display, power/home button, dual concentric rotary knob with push entry, SD card slot, and photo cell. The GNC 355 has the same capabilities as the GPS 175, but has a VHF COM radio. The GNC 355 has a 25 KHz spacing radio and the GNC 355A has a 8.33 KHz spacing radio. The internal AHRS sensor cannot be used to drive anything other than the display of attitude on a non-certified PED. The built in Bluetooth will allow flight plan I/O, GPS position, and ADS-B Weather/Traffic interface with a PED but will not allow software or database loading. The GPS navigation function is capable of providing TSO-C146e compliant GPS/WAAS navigation for en route, terminal, nonprecision and precision capabilities (LPV) when interfaced with a CDI.

2.1.4 Flight Stream 510

NOTE

The Flight Stream 510 is a wireless-enabled data card that is inserted into the SD card slot.

The Flight Stream 510 interfaces to the GPS 175/GNX 375/GNC 355 by replacing the front-loaded data card to allow wireless database transfer with PEDs over Wifi.

Figure 2-4 Flight Stream 510

2.1.5 GAE 12

The GNX 375 allows for the use of an optional GAE 12 module as a transponder pressure altitude input. The GAE 12 module directly attaches to the GNX 375 backplate and connects to the aircraft static pressure system. The GAE 12 module replaces and functions the same as the configuration module.

4.2Servicing Information

The GPS 175, GNX 375 and GNC 355 do not require servicing. In the event of system failure, troubleshoot the GPS 175/GNX 375 in accordance with Section 5.

4.2.1 Periodic Maintenance

The GPS 175/GNX 375/GNC 355 are designed to detect internal failures. A thorough self-test is executed automatically upon application of power to the units. The built-in tests (BIT) are continuously executed. Detected errors are indicated as failure annunciations, system messages or a combination of the two.

Antenna installations are not covered under this STC. Inspect and maintain all antennas in accordance with the data provided for that specific antenna installation.

4.2.2 Special Tools

A milliohm meter with an accuracy of ±0.1 mΩ (or better) is required to measure the electrical bonding between the GPS 175/GNX 375/GNC 355 system components and aircraft ground.
