4.1 Equipment
Description
The GIA 63W is a microprocessor-based input/output Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) used in the
G900X/G950 Integrated Flight Deck. The GIA 63W communicates with the GDU 1040 via Ethernet
high-speed data bus (HSDB), and with other LRUs using RS-232, RS-485/422, and ARINC 429. All
configuration is done through the GDU 1040. The GIA 63W contains the following sub-assemblies:
•
A main processor that interfaces with all LRUs in the G900X/G950 sub-system.
•
A fifteen channel parallel WAAS certified GPS receiver that simultaneously tracks and uses up to
15 satellites.
•
A VHF COM transceiver that provides tuning from 118.00 to 136.975 MHz in 25 kHz or
8.33 kHz spacing for 760 or 2280 channel configuration respectively.
•
A VOR/ILS localizer receiver that provides tuning from 108.00 to 117.95 MHz in 50 kHz
increments.
•
An ILS glideslope receiver that provides tuning from 328.6 to 335.4 MHz as paired with the
frequency tuned on the VOR/ILS localizer receiver.
CAUTION
The operation of unapproved cellular telephones or other unapproved cellular devices
aboard aircraft while airborne is prohibited by FCC rules. Due to the potential for
interference with onboard systems, the operation of unapproved cellular communication
devices while onboard an aircraft that is on the ground is subject to FAA regulations
14 CFR 91.21.
FCC regulation 47 CFR 22.925 prohibits airborne operation of unapproved cellular
telephones installed in or carried aboard aircraft. Unapproved cellular telephones must
not be operated aboard any aircraft while the aircraft is off the ground. When any aircraft
leaves the ground, all unapproved cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be
turned off.
Unapproved cellular telephones that are on, even in a monitoring state, can disrupt GPS
performance.
