This is from AvionicsWest:
"WAAS for the GNS430/530 is now postponed until sometime in 2006. I don't "think" the problem is really a WAAS issue. You see, Garmin plans on making the 430/530 comply with TSO 146 just as the GNS480. TSO 146 requires an update rate of 5hz verses 1hz as the product now updates at. I've seen the WAAS receiver board while in Salem, so the hardware is complete as far as WAAS is concerned. Yes, Garmin has been promising WAAS and TSO 146 for the 430/530 for years now, they are saying the problem is FAA issues. What would I do about with this issue if I were the in charge at the Garmin Big House? Simple, fly to Oregon with 430/530 and had it over the Garmin AT engineers. Say, "Make it happen" and two months later you would have a certified 430/530 that meets TSO-146 and WAAS. Those Salem Oregon engineers are the best in the business." http://www.avionicswest.com/myviewpoint/aea2005.htm |
