Model Descriptions
This guide covers the operation of the GNS 530W,
GNS 530AW, and the GPS 500W. In general, all
models will be referred to as the 500W-series, except
where there are physical or operational differences.
The 500W-series
units are 6.25” wide and 4.60” high.
The display is a 320 by 234 pixel color LCD. The units
include two removable data cards, one with a Jeppesen
database (inserted in the left-most card slot) and the
second being a Terrain database (inserted in the right-
most card slot).
GPS 500W
The GPS 500W has a WAAS GPS engine and is
TSO C146a certified for primary domestic, oceanic,
and remote navigation including en route, terminal,
and non-precision approaches, and approaches with
vertical guidance, such as LPV and LNAV/VNAV. The
GPS 500W can simultaneously give aviators vital
approach information and weather and traffic data
in relation to their position on a large, color moving
map display. Thanks to a high-contrast color display,
the information can be easily read from wide view-
ing angles even in direct sunlight. Its color moving
map features a built-in database that shows cities,
highways, railroads, rivers, lakes, coastlines, and a
complete Jeppesen database. The Jeppesen database
(that can be updated with a front-loading data card)
contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSSs,
Approaches, DPs/STARs, and SUA information.
Pilots will enjoy the GPS 500W as an MFD, espe-
cially when it is coupled with traffic, lightning detec-
tion, and weather interfaces. With the PC-based FDE
prediction program, the GPS 500W may be used for
oceanic or remote operations. For the latest in graphi-
cal and textual weather information, the GPS 500W
can connect to XM Satellite Radio’s XM WX Weather
Service via the Garmin GDL 69/69A datalink receiver.
GNS 530W and GNS 530AW
The GNS 530W and GNS 530AW include all of the
features of the GPS 500W, and also includes a TSO’d
airborne VHF communications transceiver and a
TSO’d airborne VOR/Localizer and Glideslope receiv-
ers. This multipurpose unit is available with either a
10-watt (GNS 530W) or 16-watt (GNS 530AW) Com
transceiver. References to the GNS 530W also include
the GNS 530AW.
