Garmin G5 - certified version


Recommended Posts

Folks, anyone had any experience of installing a certified G5 in an Australian aircraft ? Reason for asking - we are looking at installing one in one of our Cessna 172s. Our avionics people are telling us that even though you can do this in the US there is a conflict of rules in Australia that may preclude it. The G5 is authorised through an approved list of aircraft in the US using an STC.

Do you want to use it with a PIFR? with suitable endorsement. Nev

Not specifically Nev. We are just investigating replacing the vac instrument with one. In the US its allowed for both VFR and IFR

Yeah - thats our thoughts as well. Latest is that CASA have confirmed they will honour the STCs so we don't have a problem after all !!

It would be a major deviation from past practice for CASA to not 'accept' an STC for certified aircraft. Just as an aside - there may well be some additional requirement for backup battery power. Perhaps another 9v source may need to be added if the aircraft is used for NVFR/PIFR/IFR?

We have finalised all the details for our install now. The unit has a backup battery so that's all ok. Only thing that ended up being a problem is that there is no description of how to plug the vac system pipe. $500 engineering order later ! Seems everywhere else they just do it but not here.
