What the difference between the
GNS 480 and the 430. My Bonanza has a MX 20 and I was told I should hook it
up to a 480. |

The 480 allows for user defined holds, the 430 does not. The 480 sequences procedure holds, the 430 "suspends" in holds. The 430 has easy to use comm/nav knobs for easy access to the radios, the 480 does not. |

So the radios are hard to work on the 480? I heard the 480 was a lot harder

In the 480 you have to be on the correct page in order to swap nav/com freq etc. The 430 has dedicated knobs. I think the 430 is a bit more intuitive but if its your airplane you will learn to use either one. I think the 480's flight plan is a bit more complicated because you define start and end points then route, the 430 just assumes the last fix is the end point (i.e. you bring up the flt plan and see end to end). However, the 480 has airways. I'm just waiting for the first NTSB report to list the 430's lack of airways for causing a plane to go into a mountain. In California our airways bend around mountains, if you just put in two ends of the airway there may be a mountain in the middle. -Robert |

I thougth I heard that the procedure holds would auto sequence as part of the WAAS certification (one of the reasons Garmin bought the 480). I'm teaching in a G1000 right now and waiting for the WAAS to become available. The G1000 is almost the same as the 430 right now (the only real difference is that the G1000 automatically resumes the approach after the procedure turn, the 430 requires you to unpress the suspend button). -Robert |

The 480 seems a little similar to the Apollo 60 that is in the plane already. The 480 will also load the approach plate on the MX20. If I can find a deal on a 480 I think I will try it. Thanks for the help |
