Overview

The Garmin GNS 430W is a landmark integrated avionics solution that fundamentally changed general aviation cockpits. This specific unit, part number 011-01060-45, is the highly sought-after WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) enabled variant, configured for 14/28 VDC aircraft systems. It masterfully combines a high-fidelity GPS navigator, a versatile VHF communication transceiver, and a precision VHF navigation receiver with ILS/glideslope capabilities into a single, compact panel-mounted unit. The GNS 430W is TSO-certified for primary IFR navigation and is renowned for its reliability, intuitive user interface, and robust performance. Even as a legacy system, it remains a powerful and cost-effective cornerstone of countless IFR-equipped aircraft panels worldwide.

Key Features

• WAAS/LPV Approach Capability: Fully TSO-C146a certified for WAAS/SBAS navigation, enabling pilots to fly LPV (Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance) and LNAV/VNAV approaches to ILS-like minimums without any ground-based NAVAIDs.
• Integrated Nav/Comm/GPS: A complete flight management system in one box. It includes a 15-channel GPS receiver, a full-featured 760-channel (25 kHz spacing) or 2280-channel (8.33 kHz spacing) VHF communication radio, and a 200-channel VOR/LOC/Glideslope receiver.
• High-Resolution Color Display: Features a 4-inch (diagonal), sunlight-readable 8-color DSTN LCD with a 240 x 128-pixel resolution. The vibrant display provides clear depiction of your flight plan, moving map, navaids, and terrain.
• Advanced Situational Awareness: Integrates a built-in Jeppesen database and a high-resolution terrain database. It provides graphical alerts for terrain and U.S. obstacles, enhancing safety during all phases of flight.
• Extensive System Interface: Designed to be the hub of an avionics stack, it seamlessly interfaces with a wide range of equipment, including autopilots (with roll-steering commands), multi-function displays (MFDs), traffic advisory systems (TIS), and XM WX Satellite Weather datalinks (like the GDL 69).
• High-Speed Processing: Features a 5 Hz GPS update rate, providing navigation calculations and map redraws that are five times faster than earlier non-WAAS models, resulting in smoother on-screen tracking.
