1.10 MAINTENANCE
1.10.1 INSPECTIONS/CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS/
MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance for the G5 is limited to the air data system as listed in
Section 1.10.1.1. All other maintenance is "on condition" only. Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness (ICA) are not required per 14 CFR Part 21 for these products
as they have received no FAA approval or endorsement. Garmin recommends that
the G5 be inspected for proper operation, secure attachment, integrity of connectors
and wiring, cleanliness, leakage of hoses and tubes, and any evidence of damage as
part of the required annual or periodic aircraft inspection. For more general inspection
guidance, please refer to the applicable sections of CFR Part 43 Appendix D and
Chapter 12 of AC 43.13-1B.
1.10.1.1 G5 AIR DATA PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Per Part 43 Appendix E, paragraph (b)(2), Garmin recommends a test procedure
equivalent to Part 43 Appendix E, paragraph (b)(1), with two exceptions. The tests
of sub-paragraph (iv) (Friction) and (vi) (Barometric Scale Error) are not applicable
because the digital outputs of the G5 are not susceptible to these types of errors. This
procedure is recommended when the static system is opened up (i.e. whenever the
G5 is removed or replaced). Garmin also recommends that a leak test be performed
following any maintenance action in which the pitot system is opened up.
NOTE: If the G5 is moved or replaced, the Post Installation Calibration Procedures
(Section 1.8.4.5.1) must be repeated.
1.10.1.2 G5 BATTERY PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
For maximum battery longevity, store within a temperature range of -4˚F to 68˚F
(from -20˚C to 20˚C). The G5 battery should be kept partially charged when unused
for longer periods of time and should not be stored when completely discharged.
Charge the battery to 30% within 1 year of receipt and recharge to 30% every 2 years
thereafter if the G5 is not in use.
