Owners of Garmin’s popular GNS 400/500 series panel-mount avionics can upgrade their products to meet the FAA’s WAAS standards without a field approval.

The WAAS system improves the accuracy, reliability and integrity of the GPS signal. GPS-WAAS navigators that meet FAA’s WAAS regulations may be used for sole means of navigation for all phases of flight, including en route through precision approach at airports. With WAAS LPV approaches, pilots will have stabilized lateral and vertical navigation and will be able to navigate as low as 200 feet above the runway end under instrument flight rules.

GNS 430W™ and GNS 530W™ will be shipping soon and upgrades are now available. Call us to schedule your upgrade today.
