GNS 430 specifications

The Garmin GNS 430 has

become known as the “one

box.” Because while many avion-

ics components offer some of the capabilities of the GNS

430, it’s the integration of so many different capabilities

into a single unit that makes the GNS 430 unique. It’s a

comm/nav/GPS with brilliant color map graphics all rolled

into one.

The GNS 430 continues in the Garmin tradition of easy

operating software. Logic prevails to make sense of massive

amounts of pilot-specific data. To access this information you

merely need to master two concentric knobs and a series of

function buttons. All backlit. All right where you’d want them.

The most striking thing about the GNS 430 is how easy

it is to read and interpret. At the heart of the on-screen

data is a user-configurable color map. Of course, you can

monitor your flight plan using navigation chart graphics.

But you can also enjoy the greatest in situational awareness

with a detailed cartography database that shows airports,

cities, political boundaries, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes

and coastlines.

At the heart of the unit is a WAAS upgradeable, 

12-channel GPS receiver with a 10-watt comm. The GNS 430 "A"

offers 16-watt comm transmitting power for enhanced 

performance for high altitude aircraft. All 400-series units

offer Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) software for

Oceanic Approval.

No matter what your performance requirements,
