In the c172s G1000, is there one com transceiver for each gia 63 or do both com 1 and 2 go to each gia 63. I guess my question is: if one gia 63 failed, would I lose a set of comms or would both still be covered by the other gia?
I found this on the internet but don't really understand what it is saying:
"If a GIA 63 unit fails, the associated COM/NAV/GPS receiver data is no longer available and is automatically replaced by the COM/ NAV/GPS receiver data from the other GIA 63 unit. The operative GPS receiver automatically takes over any active GPS navigation (without any pilot input). A red “X” appears over the COM/NAV frequencies to indicate GIA 63 failure (see Figure 4) and an alert annunciation appears to the right of the altitude/vertical speed tapes on the PFD. The remaining GIA 63 continues to provide all interface and system integrity functions."
