The GNS-430 display is an 128 by 240 pixel color LCD panel
mount unit. The GNS-430 is an all-in-one GPS/Nav/Comm solution. The GNS-430
features a TSO-certified GPS, 2280-channel capacity comm and 200-channel
ILS/VOR with localizer and glideslope. High-speed 5 Hz processing makes
navigation calculations and map redraw rates five times faster than earlier
GNS series navigators. The GNS-430 includes two removable front-loaded data
cards, one with a Jeppesen database and the second being a Terrain database.
The GNS-430's cartographic database displays geopolitical boundaries, federal
interstate highways, state routes, major local thoroughfares, plus railroads,
rivers, coastlines and lakes. The GNS-430 features position and velocity
determination using signals transmitted by GPS satellites. The GPS signals
are received by Garmin's low profile GA-56 antenna. The GNS-430 displays the
stored navigation and map database for use by the pilot/flight crew. These
two features allow for the use of the GNS-430 area navigation functions. The
GNS-430 can be interfaced with other flight instruments such as a moving map,
autopilot, CDI/HSI, indicators, altitude encoder/serializers, fuel management
system, and annunciators. The GNS-430 has a Com Audio output. The GNS-430 has
VOR and ILS Localizer Receivers and an ILS Glideslope
Receiver.
The GNS-430 unit is mark
width (6.25 in. wide) and 2.66 in. high with a weight of 5.10 pounds. The
GNS-430 has either a black panel or a gray display panel with operating
voltages of either 14V or 28V. The minimum transmit power is 10W but the
GNS-430A is 28V with a minimum transmit power of 16W. The GNS-430 can be
operated in the -20ºC to +55ºC temperature range with an altitude range of
-1,500 feet to 50,000 feet. The GNS 430's 4-inch high-contrast display with
brilliant colors makes it easy to read and interpret pilot-critical
information. Effective use of color makes it easy to see your position
relative to ground features, chart data, navaids, flight plan routings,
approach procedures and conveniently scan information from wide viewing
angles, even in direct sunlight.
