500 SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Page 1-7190-00181-02 Rev Q1.4 TSO LIMITATIONSA limitation exists pertaining to TSO-C36e (Localizer) and TSO-C34e (Glideslope). The main boardlateral deviation (J4001 Pin 21 MAIN +LEFT and J4001 Pin 22 MAIN +RIGHT) and vertical deviation(J4001 Pin 27 MAIN +UP and J4001 Pin 28 MAIN +DOWN) outputs exceed the respective TSO MOPSrequirement for current response time due to 120 milliseconds of internal transport delay. Except for thistransport delay, the output characteristics meet the TSO MOPS requirement. Consequently, these outputsshould be used only in applications where the transport delay has been evaluated and found to meetinstallation requirements.1.5 LICENSE REQUIREMENTSThe Telecommunications Act of 1996, effective February 8, 1996, provides the FCC discretion to eliminateradio station license requirements for aircraft and ships. The GNS 530 installation must comply withcurrent transmitter licensing requirements. To find out the specific details on whether a particularinstallation is exempt from licensing, please visit the FCC web site http://wireless.fcc.gov/aviation.If an aircraft license is required, make application for a license on FCC form 404, Application for AircraftRadio Station License. The FCC also has a fax-on-demand service to provide forms by fax. The GNS 530owner accepts all responsibility for obtaining the proper licensing before using the transponder.CAUTIONThe VHF transmitter in this equipment is guaranteed to meet federal communicationscommission acceptance over the operating temperature range. Modifications notexpressly approved by Garmin could invalidate the license and make it unlawful tooperate the equipment.1.6 CERTIFICATIONThe GPS receivers in the 500 Series units are certified for IFR enroute, terminal, and non-precisionapproaches. The 500 Series initial certification was accomplished via STC’s by Garmin in a Piper PA32.See Appendix B for copies of the STC’s.The 500 Series units have been qualified to RTCA/DO-160 Section 22 lightning requirements. Specialinstallation considerations are required, refer to the Environmental Qualification Forms in Appendix A.1.7 FAULT DETECTION AND EXCLUSION (FDE)NOTEThe 500 Series equipment as installed has been found to comply with the requirementsfor GPS primary means of navigation in oceanic and remote airspace, when used inconjunction with the 500 Series Trainer Program incorporating the FDE PredictionProgram. This does not constitute an operational approval.The Garmin 500 Series Main and GPS Software version 3.00 and higher incorporate Fault Detection andExclusion (FDE) display interface and control, satisfying the requirements for GPS as a Primary Means ofNavigation for Oceanic/Remote Operations per FAA Notice N8110.60.Fault Detection and Exclusion consists of two parts. The fault detection function detects a satellite failurethat can affect navigation. The exclusion function refers to the capability of excluding one or more failedsatellites and preventing them from affecting navigation.FDE is provided for Oceanic and Remote Operations, non-precision approaches, en route and terminalphases of flight. FDE for non-oceanic flight phases adhere to the same missed alert probability, false alertprobability, and failed exclusion probability specified by N8110.60.
