Garmin GpsMap 396 - First Impressions (long) by
Mike Spera
I stopped whining about the cost of things aviation a while ago. $5.00+
per gallon gas and Piper parts prices don't phase me anymore. I have
thought about this unit for a while now and compared it's value/function
to what other upgrades I could buy instead for the same money. So, I
find myself...

Garmin GpsMap 396 - Flight Test by
Mike Spera
Made it up in the air today. Scattered cells and rain all over the
place. Mostly, moving out and clearing. 30 seconds after take off, lost
the GPS sat lock. Took about 15 seconds to regain it. In the next 5
minutes, it lost lock several more times. I'm thinking, external antenna
is loopy. I...

Garmin GpsMap 396 - Flight Test #2 by
Mike Spera
So I set up my other 2 GPS units in the cockpit and put their external
antennas right next to the Garmin. The Lowrance Airmap 1000 and an old
Apollo 920+ showed 5-9 sats up near the 80%. The Garmin showed 8+ sats
pinned at the top and one or two more at 50%. Immediately after liftoff
the Garmin...

Garmin GpsMap 396 - Flight Test #3 by
Mike Spera
After the 2 ridiculous TFRs were lifted, I was able to test the swap
unit. As some of you may have read, the original unit kept losing
satellite lock and the dealer swapped it with a new unit at my request.
The replacement is much better. However, it still goes out to lunch
after transmitting...

Garmin GpsMap 396 - Flight Test #4 by
Mike Spera
Yesterday we planned on a proposed flight 50 miles away for dinner with
a light GA airplane newbie on board . The radar at home showed a very
narrow band of showers to the Northwest on a SW - NE line marching SE
towards us. The rain was limited to the lightest 2 green shades with an
occasional...

Garmin GTX 330 Transponder by
PaulaJay1
I'm thinking of adding the GTX 330 transponder to get traffic on my 430. Has
anyone done this and is it worth the price(what did it cost)? I fly mostly in
the eastern US and believe that there is pretty good coverage here.

Garmin GTX320 PIREP Request by
Marco Leon
Hi all,
Anyone using this simple and relatively cheap transponder care to share
their experience? Some questions I have:
1) How's the warm-up time and signal for ATC's radars?
2) Did you use the adapter for the King trays? If so, how's the fit
(does it stick out) and the ease of installation?

garmin or something else by
Kelly
I'm trying to figure out what portable device to buy to provide in-
flight weather, as well as terrain info. Electronic approach plates
and enroute charts, as well as flight planning capability, would also
be a plus, but not essential. I fly a Cessna 172 that is already
equipped with a Garmin...

Garmin PCX5AVD software by

Does anyone have copy of the Garmin PCX5AVD software.
I have a panel mount Garmin GPS 100 AVD in a Piper Arrow. The user memory battery in the unit is low and I need to replace it. In order to do this I need to down load the user data before I change the battery or I will lose the user data.

Garmin remote antennas by
Dave
Hi All!
There are some interesting threads in some other pilot groups about
these antennas...
Apparently, (I do not have one) garmin has a MAGNET in the base of the
antenna (for holding it in place in a vehicle) that they ship with the
396.. (!)
Slight issue with mounting it with velcro on top...

Garmin SL30 COMM problem? by
No Spam
I was pulling the avionics boxes to verify serial numbers and now I've got a
problem with my SL30.
At first, it was dead so I re-racked it. That got it to power up, but now I
can't transmit or received on it.
The NAV side works fine, but the data to the external OBS may be screwed up.
What have...

Garmin tool by

What tool is required to remove a GNS430 from the panel? I need to get the
serial numbers off the units.
Or, does the serial number show up on any display page?

Garmin unveiling? by

Oshkosh seems to be the place where Garmin rolls out their latest and
greatest products. Any speculation on what the next will be?
My pattern has been to jump 2 model series or when there is a
significant change. I have a 396 in the Bonanza that has earned it's
keep with the XM weather...

Garmin updates by
Dico
Hello...
If you have a 530 or 430, does it accept the same updates? Or are the
updates specific to each machine. Also, if you have both in your
plane (one of each), do you have to purchase 2 updates?
I notice that some 530s come with 'terrain'... is this an option from
garmin? Can it be added...

Garmin/Apollo LS 30 NavCom comments? by
Mike Noel
I'm planning on having my avionics tech install the LS 30 along with a GI
106A CDI as my number one NavCom. All of my buddies were suggesting the
KNX-155 but the Garmin looks like a much more functional and high tech unit.
Does anyone have any comments on the LS 30 GI 106A combination?

Garmin/AT no longer supporting WSI weather on MX20 moving map by
Peter R.
I have the WSI satellite weather receiver installed in a Bonanza. The
data from this receiver is displayed nicely on a Garmin/AT MX20 moving
map. Today I called WSI to ask them what new weather features we could
expect from their weather service.
The rep told me that lightening data will be...

I'm looking for phtos or diagrams, cut away or any of the Garrett APU
