GIA 63 Installation Manual Page 1-1190-00303-05 Revision T1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION1.1 IntroductionThis manual presents mechanical and electrical installation requirements for installing the GIA 63(X) aspart of a Garmin Integrated Flight Deck. The GIA 63(X) can be integrated into a variety of airframesunder an appropriate TC or STC. Each airframe installation may vary. Use only approved (type orsupplemental type) data for specific installation instructions in a particular aircraft.1.2 Equipment DescriptionThe GIA 63(X) is a microprocessor-based input/output Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) used in a GarminIntegrated Flight Deck. The GIA 63(X) communicates with the GDU via Ethernet high-speed data bus(HSDB), and with other LRUs using RS-232, RS-485/422, and ARINC 429. All configuration is donethrough the GDU. The GIA 63(X) contains the following sub-assemblies:• A main processor that interfaces with all LRUs in the G1000 sub-system and performscalculations for the GFC 700 autopilot (if equipped).• A twelve channel parallel GPS receiver that simultaneously tracks and uses up to 12 satellites.The GIA 63W and GIA 63H include a 15 channel WAAS certified GPS receiver.• A VHF COM transceiver that provides tuning from 118.00 to 136.992 MHz in 25 kHz or8.33 kHz spacing for 760 or 2280 channel configuration respectively.• A VOR/ILS localizer receiver that provides tuning from 108.00 to 117.95 MHz in 50 kHzincrements.• An ILS glideslope receiver that provides tuning from 328.6 to 335.4 MHz as paired with thefrequency tuned on the VOR/ILS localizer receiver.CAUTIONThe operation of unapproved cellular telephones or other unapproved cellular devicesaboard aircraft while airborne is prohibited by FCC rules. Due to the potential forinterference with onboard systems, the operation of unapproved cellular communicationdevices while onboard an aircraft that is on the ground is subject to FAA regulations14 CFR 91.21.FCC regulation 47 CFR 22.925 prohibits airborne operation of unapproved cellulartelephones installed in or carried aboard aircraft. Unapproved cellular telephones mustnot be operated aboard any aircraft while the aircraft is off the ground. When any aircraftleaves the ground, all unapproved cellular telephones on board that aircraft must beturned off.Unapproved cellular telephones that are on, even in a monitoring state, can disrupt GPSperformance.DRAFT Rev T 11/12/2010
