FAA APPROVED

1.6

 

Audio Panel 

The G500 PFD/MFD system should be interfaced into the aircraft audio panel to 
provide aural altering generated by the G500 (required for SVT installations). 

1.7

 

Traffic and Weather Systems 

The G500 PFD/MFD system supports TIS traffic via the Garmin GTX Series 
Mode-S Transponders. The system also supports TAS/TCAS/TIS traffic from 
various active traffic awareness systems. The information from these systems is 
available and controllable on the MFD. 
 
The G500 PFD/MFD system supports XM datalink weather via the Garmin 
GDL69 and GDL69A receivers. If an optional XM datalink receiver is installed, 
the pilot will be able to access graphical and text weather products on the MFD 
and control the audio entertainment data from the MFD while listening via an 
appropriately installed audio panel. 
 
Datalink weather is also available via the Garmin GSR 56 Iridium Transceiver.  
The  control  and  display  of  Iridium  satellite  weather  on  the  MFD  is  similar  to 
XM weather. 
 
Control and display of various airborne weather radars is optionally available on 
the  MFD.    The  G500  supports  Garmin  GWX  weather  radar,  as  well  as  certain 
3

rd

-party weather radars. 

1.8

 

Video sources 

The G500 Avionics Display System can display images from up to 2 video 
inputs.  Video images are displayed on the MFD.  The G500 does not provide a 
means to control the video source; however the digital images from the video 
source can be adjusted using the G500. 

1.9

 

Radar Altimeter 

The G500 supports the display of radar altitude on the PFD from supported  
radar altimeters. 

1.10

 

High Speed Data Bus Interface 

Some Garmin equipment connected to the G500 system utilizes the High Speed 
Data Bus (HSDB) interface.  HSDB is similar to an Ethernet bus and provides a 
high-speed interface between Garmin avionics.  Like Ethernet, data between two 
units may be passed through intermediate “hub” units.  Interfaced equipment 
that uses HSDB includes the GTN 6XX/7XX navigators, GDL 69 datalink 
receiver, GWX 68, and GTS 8XX traffic systems. 
 
The HSDB interfaces are installed to so that maximum data path redundancy is 
achieved.  However, depending on the number of HSDB units installed, failure 
of one HSDB unit may result in loss of data on the G500 from “downstream” 
HSDB units.  Any loss of data will be annunciated on the G500.
