2.2 Description of Alteration
The GTN navigators are a family of aviation panel mounted retro-fit products. GTN units utilize a
touchscreen as the primary control interface. Traditional knobs and buttons have been minimized to
simplify access to the color multi-function display (MFD), NAV and COM transceiver, and GPS/WAAS
navigator functions.
The GTN 625/635/650 Navigators (Garmin Touch Navigation) are a family of 2.65-inch tall aviation panel
mounted retro-fit products that are intended to supersede the Garmin 400W Series Navigators. The GTN
6XX product family consists of the GTN 625 GPS/WAAS navigator, the GTN 635 GPS/WAAS/COM
navigator, and the GTN 650 GPS/WAAS/NAV/COM navigator.
The GTN 725/750 Navigators (Garmin Touch Navigation) are a family of 6.00-inch tall aviation panel
mounted retro-fit products that are intended to supersede the Garmin 500W Series Navigators. The GTN
7XX product family consists of the GTN 725 GPS/WAAS navigator, and the GTN 750 GPS/WAAS/NAV/COM
navigator.
The optional GMA 35 is an audio panel with a Marker Beacon receiver. The GMA 35 in conjunction with a
GTN 7XX provide full audio panel capability, for communication and navigation radios, headsets,
microphones, and speakers. 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. The GMA 35 is mounted in a notch behind the GTN 7XX to free up mounting space in
the flight deck instrument panel. Rotorcraft model specific installation of the GTN is documented in GTN
6XX/7XX PART 27 AML STC INSTALLATION MANUAL and Garmin 190-01007-H9 Rev. 1, “GTN 6XX/7XX
Navigator Installation, Eurocopter EC 130B4/T2 Rotorcraft”.
