Garmin GNS480

As the industry’s first integrated avionics unit to be certified for WAAS/GPS navigation, the GNS480 is a powerful new addition to the Garmin flight systems lineup.

Featuring an advanced 15-channel receiver capable of five position updates per second, the GNS 480 is certified to the FAA’s new TSO C146a standards for primary navigation – which will open up thousands of airports previously inaccessible in IFR conditions. The FAA’s new Wide Area Augmentation System, or WAAS, dramatically improves the accuracy, integrity, and availability of GPS for approach operations, with vertical (as well as lateral) guidance at non-ILS-equipped airports.

Designed to work in concert with the popular MX20 multi-function display, the GNS 480sets new standards for situational awareness in the cockpit. Adding to the system's capabilities are a high-resolution sunlight-readable moving-map LCD display with 256 color combinations — plus a built-in 760-channel VHF comm teamed with 200-channel VOR, glideslope and localizer receivers

Features:

• Glideslope guidance for LNAV/VNAV (Gamma 2) and LPV (Gamma 3) approaches, and advisory vertical guidance for other non-precision approaches with vertical path data associated with them
• Reversionary Modes on the Approach
• Automatic SUSPend key function
• New interfaces to Garmin GTX 330/33/320/32 Mode S/C transponders
• New interface to display traffic data from L-3 Avionics Systems Skywatch
• New "NAV" page with a full compass rose CDI display
• Flight Planning page enhancements
• Dual GNS 480 flight plan crossfill capability
• Ability to calculate RAIM when out of Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) coverage
• Automatic frequency checking for ILS, backcourse, and VOR approaches
• Notification of navigation to non-WGS 84-compliant waypoints in the active flight plan
• Ability to manually select maximum CDI scaling
