AVDB, The latest revision I've seen is REV 3 dated FEB 2020. But there was some discussion with the Garmin techs on the VAF site recently that a newer revision of the STC Install manual may be coming to correct some bad info and discrepancies with info presented in the earlier dated (but...

I got a copy a while back but thanks anyway TFW! I'm wrapping up my GNC355 installation now. ZT

Well, I think you might be correct! Thanks, ZT

Thought I'd give this a bump... anyone?

Sorry I wasn't more clear! I know how to get to the rs-232 setup; but I am wondering if anyone has actually been able to send encoder data from a GTX3XX to a GNC355 via RS-232. There is some recent controversy as to whether the GNC355 can receive any data from the GTX3XX transponders and...

Has anyone with a GNC355 and a GTX335wGPS&GAE12 transponder been able to send the GTX's encoder data to the GNC355 via RS-232? If so, I'd like to know it's configured? I'm not interested in the GNC355 being the ADS-B source for the GTX335... I just want to share the transponder's encoder data...

Thank you! I appreciate your reply! ZT

Thanks bnt! I'm rather an old time VOR/LOC/ILS kind of guy and just now entering the world of IFR approved GPS. I know what you mean by "auto leg sequencing", and my old Piper A/P won't fly them anyway, but can you explain exactly what you mean by VNAV and what that entails? Are you saying I...

I'm not at all comfortable with going that route preferring instead to keep everything legit. With that said, I've heard good arguments for proceeding in this fashion for the second unit of a pair of G5's based on specific language in the STC installation docs that specifically calls out the...

Thanks for your reply and clarification Dave! I appreciate your suggestions, which all make perfect sense but unfortunately are beyond my financial reach. Due to installation costs, I can only consider installing what Garmin has released to the certified market for installation outside of...

I'm not sure about the specifics but the GNC175 install manual (available online) would answer most of your questions. Good luck with your project MuseChaser! ZT

Thanks for posting jrcox19! Well I do know the GTX335 is listed as compatible in the GNC355 STC install manual. The GNC355 did not exist when I installed the GTX335 so it isn't listed as approved equipment under the 335's STC. I'm thinking though, that a current revision of the GTX 335...

Thanks for your reply bnt83! Yeah! I can see why a SEL flashing could be disturbing! Do you expect this issue to be resolved? My question here is the same one I asked Jesse above... What altitude will the GNC355 for IFR approaches if there is no pressure altitude available to the GNC355? ZT

Thanks for your reply Jesse! RE: Option 1 and adding the "time and cost of another antenna"... I'm not a fat wallet guy Jesse and the only way any of this works for me is that I can install the 355 myself as per the STC under the supervision of my AP/IA. And being retired, I do have plenty of...

I agreed wholeheartedly with those who suggested a 375 as the obvious choice to the OP last year but how would that apply to me NordicDave? If you were indeed referring to "my situation?" Did you read my post? Yeah! I know it was a bit long but I try hard not to waste many words. Just to...
