2.1 Equipment Descriptions
2.1.1 GTN Xi Navigators and GMA 35
NOTE
For pinouts and wiring diagrams, refer to GTN Xi Part 27 AML STC Installation Manual
(P/N 190-01007-D0).
The GTN Xi navigators are a family of aviation panel-mounted retrofit products. The following sections
will describe the available functions for each unit in the GTN Xi family.
2.1.1.1 GTN 6XX Xi
The GTN 6XX Xi SBAS navigators are a family of panel-mounted GPS/NAV/COM navigators.
“GTN 6XX Xi” includes the GTN 625Xi, GTN 635Xi, and GTN 650Xi.
They are 6.25 inches wide and 2.65 inches tall. GTN 6XX Xi units feature a 600 by 266 pixel color LCD
touchscreen. The GTN 625Xi is a GPS/SBAS unit that meets the requirements of TSO-C146c. The
GTN 635Xi includes all of the features of the GTN 625Xi in addition to an airborne VHF/COM
transceiver. The GTN 650Xi includes all of the features of the GTN 635Xi in addition to an airborne VOR/
localizer (LOC) receiver, and glideslope (G/S) receiver.
2.1.1.2 GTN 7XX Xi
The GTN 7XX Xi SBAS navigators are a family of panel-mounted GPS/NAV/COM navigators.
“GTN 7XX Xi” includes the GTN 725Xi and GTN 750Xi.
GTN 7XX Xi units are 6.25 inches wide and 6.00 inches tall. They feature a 600 by 708 pixel color LCD
touchscreen. The GTN 725Xi is a GPS/SBAS unit that meets the requirements of TSO-C146c. The
GTN 750Xi includes all of the features of the GTN 725Xi in addition to an airborne VHF communications
transceiver and airborne VOR/localizer (LOC) and glideslope (G/S) receivers. GTN 7XX Xi units have the
ability to remotely control GMA 35 audio panel functions.
2.1.1.3 GMA 35 Audio Panel
The GMA 35 Audio Panel is a remote-mounted marker beacon receiver and audio panel with a six-position
intercom system (ICS) that interfaces to the communications and navigation radios, headsets,
microphones, and speakers. The ICS includes electronic cabin noise de-emphasis, two stereo music inputs,
and independent pilot/co-pilot/passenger volume controls. The intercom provides three selectable isolation
modes. A pilot-selectable cabin speaker output can be used to listen to the selected aircraft radios or to
broadcast PA announcements.
The audio panel relies on the GTN 725Xi or GTN 750Xi to control and display the audio functions. The
GMA 35 interfaces to the GTN 7XX Xi through RS-232 for control and display of audio panel functions.
The GMA 35c provides the functionality of the GMA 35, with the capability to pair Bluetooth™ audio
sources. This enables the distribution of audio to ICS positions when using a compatible iOS or Android™
device. The GMA 35c supports up to ten stored devices and one active Bluetooth device.

Rev. 1 Page 2-2
2.1.1.4 Flight Stream 510
NOTE
The Flight Stream 510 is a wireless-enabled data card that is inserted into the GTN Xi
data card slot.
The Flight Stream 510 interfaces to the GTN Xi by replacing the front-loaded data card to allow wireless
database synchronization with PEDs. Synchronized information is then disseminated to various LRUs
through their existing GTN Xi interface connections.
2.1.2 NAV Antenna Cable Splitter
The navigation antenna cable splitter (Garmin P/N 013-00112-00) is used for installations involving dual
VHF navigation capable GTN Xi units or a single VHF navigation capable GTN Xi installation with a
second non-Garmin aviation unit.
2.1.3 NAV Antenna Cable Diplexer
GTN 650Xi/750Xi navigation units have a single navigation antenna port and require a composite signal
for installations that include separate VOR/LOC and G/S antennas. The navigation diplexer (Comant
diplexer VOR/GS, Model CI-507) is used for these installations.
2.1.4 HTAWS Annunciator
Installation of HTAWS annunciators may be required when the optional HTAWS feature is activated. For
HTAWS annunciator installation and equipment details, refer to the GTN Xi Part 27 AML STC Installation
Manual (P/N 190-01007-D0).
2.1.5 Cyclic Control Grip
An optional Otto Control Grip Kit (Otta Controls P/N G2-0048 or G2-B-8) may be included with the
GTN Xi installation. For eligibility and detailed cyclic control grip kit information, refer to the GTN Xi
Part 27 AML STC Installation Manual (P/N 190-01007-D0).

Windows PCs (Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 10 are supported).
There is no Mac support at this time.
NOTE
An SD card reader is needed to create the GTN Xi Software Loader Card using the
application that is downloaded from Garmin. The approved readers are SanDisk
SDDR-999 and SDDR-93, although other SD card readers may work.
