The GIA 6300 is an integrated avionics unit meeting robust environmental requirements. The major
functions of the GIA6300 are:
•

152 MHz; extended frequency range),
•
VOR/VLOC and GBAS receiver,

•
Other functions such as AFCS (Flight Director) have significant portions of their

The GIA 6300 is designed as though the functions are spread out across a federated system. This
provides independence and redundancy between the functions.
