supported.
2. Single 7-inch GDU 470 (portrait orientation) PFD with the capability to be split into a
PFD/MFD configuration but with no support for EIS.
3. Single 10.6-inch GDU 460 with PFD/MFD split capability and EIS supported.
4. Dual 7-inch GDU 470 (portrait orientation), one configured as PFD and the other as
MFD, with EIS only supported on the MFD.
5. Single 7-inch GDU 470 (portrait orientation) as PFD and a single 10.6-inch GDU 460 as
MFD with the EIS only supported on 10.6-inch MFD.
6. Single 10.6-inch GDU 460 as PFD and a single 7-inch GDU 470 (portrait orientation) as
MFD, with the EIS supported on either the PFD or MFD.
7. Dual 10.6-inch GDU 460, one configured as PFD and the other as MFD, with EIS
supported on either the PFD or MFD.
The following additional display configurations can optionally be installed for the Copilot:
1. One or two GDU 4X0 installed as MFD on the right side of the instrument panel (beyond
the dimensions shown in Figure 4-21 and Figure 4-22) of a side-by-side cockpit seating
arrangement.
• A maximum of three displays total are allowed in the panel of side-by-side
aircraft.
• For aircraft not limited to VFR, a G5 must be installed as the standby instrument
when a copilot MFD is installed on the right side of the panel.
• A copilot MFD can support a backup display of PFD 1.
NOTE
There are important display configuration requirements for the MFD Startup Display Mode,
reference section 5.19.
2. One or two GDU 4X0 installed in the second cockpit of a tandem aircraft, configured as
PFD2 and/or MFD.
• A maximum of four displays are allowed in tandem aircraft.
• For aircraft not limited to VFR, a G5 must be installed as the standby instrument
adjacent to PFD 1 on the primary instrument panel (cockpit from which the
aircraft is flown solo).
• Only a copilot GDU in the second cockpit can be configured as PFD 2. The PFD
2 will display primary flight information from the same ADAHRS as PFD 1.
When at least two GDUs are installed, one as PFD and another as an MFD, failure of one
display unit will cause the system to automatically revert to a reversionary format. In the
reversionary format, primary flight information, radio tuning information and EIS (if installed) are
displayed on the remaining GDU. Additionally, a multi-function pane can be displayed on a PFD
if the “split” touchscreen button is selected.
The following LRUs and equipment are required as part of the G3X Touch installation:
• GSU 25D Air Data Computer, Aircraft Heading and Reference System (ADAHRS)
(required for PFD)
• GMU 11 Magnetometer (required for PFD)
Figure 1-2 – Dual GDU 470 (PFD & MFD, EIS Optional)
1.6.2 GDU 460
The Garmin Display Unit (GDU) 460 is a 10.6-inch landscape-oriented, panel mounted control
and display unit with a GPS receiver. The GDU features a high-resolution infrared touchscreen
user interface augmented by two dual-concentric knobs and dedicated buttons for commonly
used functions. The GDU 460 is mounted flush to the aircraft instrument panel. Below is a list of
some of the functions provided by the GDU 460. Many of the listed functions depend on
optional equipment interfaces and/or subscription services.
PFD Functions
Figure 1-4 – GDU 460 with GDU 470 (PFD & MFD, EIS Optional)
1.6.3 GSU 25D ADAHRS
The GSU 25D is an LRU that provides Air Data Computer and Attitude Heading Reference
System (ADAHRS) information. The GSU 25D interfaces to a remote mounted GMU 11
magnetometer for heading information, and computes OAT and TAS from inputs provided by
the GTP 59. The GSU 25D is connected to existing primary pitot/static system. Only one GSU
25D is approved for installation and interface by this STC.
When a GAP 26 probe is installed, the GSU 25D also computes AOA from inputs provided by
the GAP 26, as well as the aircraft’s pitot/static system, and is subsequently displayed by the
G3X PFD.
NOTE
Reference section 2.1 for EIS limitations and section 3.3.5 for installation requirements of EIS.
1.6.8.1 Sensors
Reference Table C-6 for a complete list of sensor part numbers that are installed and/or
interfaced with this STC. Sensors that are installed by this STC are described in this section.
1.6.8.1.1 Oil Pressure Sensors
This STC provides data to install an oil pressure sensor that is a piezoresistive (PRT)
transducer in a brass housing with a 0 to 150 PSI operating range.
The GDL 5XR are remote mounted and require external antennas and power connections. No
battery is provided.
The GDL 50R/52R receives Traffic (ADS-B/ADS-R and TIS-B) on both Universal Access
Transceiver (UAT) and 1090 ES (Extended Squitter) frequency bands. When in range of a
ground station, these units will receive FIS-B weather over the UAT link.
The GDL 5XR products provide information to G3X Touch displays via RS-232 and to devices
running Garmin Pilot™ via a Connext® data connection (via Bluetooth®). Please see additional
information in the G3X Touch Pilot's Guide for Certified Aircraft (190-02472-00).
The GDL 52R is shown below.
A GPS antenna must be connected to the PFD or the Standalone MFD. In a multiple-display
G3X installation the PFD will pass GPS data to the other GDUs. A second GPS antenna is not
required but may optionally be installed and connected to another GDU for redundancy.
There are other GPS antennas which are compatible with the GDUs, reference Table C-7 for
more information.
NOTE
If using GPS antenna 011-04036-00, which has a TNC connector, a TNC/BNC Adapter (p/n
330-01754-00) is required to connect the GPS antenna to the GDU.

The following table lists installation kits, mounting components, and connector kit part numbers
to support the installation of the equipment described in this section.
*Connector Kit and Mounting Kit are included in the Installation Kit
The circuit breakers installed by this STC must be mounted in a location that is readily
accessible to the pilot. Circuit breakers and switches added as part of a G3X system installation
must be labeled as shown in Table 3-4. Labels must be readable in all lighting conditions.
Ambient floodlighting is acceptable.
* If GAD 27 is also providing keep alive power to GEA 24 / GDU 4X0 / GSU 25D, the 15A circuit
breaker must be used.
3.3.2 GPS
The GDU includes a connection for an external antenna that must be connected to the PFD.
GPS position data is shared between GDU displays via the CAN bus in dual GDU installations.
For a list of GPS antennas supported by the GDU displays refer to section C.8 GPS data is
also shared with the ADAHRS for improved performance. Multiple GPS antennas may be used
in systems with multiple GDUs to create a redundant GPS navigation system if desired.
3.3.3 Standby Instruments
Unless an aircraft is placarded as VFR Only, installations of a G3X PFD require standby
attitude, airspeed, and altimeter instruments. A Garmin G5 configured as an Attitude Direction
Indicator (ADI) can be used as the standby instrument. Alternatively, a Garmin GI 275 ADAHRS
/ ADAHRS+AP or the existing pneumatic instruments can be retained for use as standby
instruments (except installations with Copilot displays in which case the G5 is the only
acceptable standby instrument). However, they must be located next to the PFD as described
in section 4.3.3.
The existing non-stabilized magnetic compass must be retained and recalibrated once the G3X
system is installed and configured.
3.3.4 Display Lighting Control
Lighting on the GDU 4X0 display and keys can be controlled by either the GDU main menu,
lighting bus, or the GDU’s built-in light sensor (photocell). Lighting on the GTR 200B display
and keys can be controlled by either the lighting bus or the GTR’s built-in light sensor
(photocell). The preferred default method can be selected in configuration mode on the GDU
and GTR respectively.
3.3.5 Engine Indication System (EIS)
Installation of the EIS must maintain compliance with the minimum number of gauges required
by 14 CFR 91.205 for the type of flight allowed by the aircraft’s Type Certificate. In addition, the
aircraft must have the minimum number of gauges required by the aircraft POH/AFM, TCDS, or
other aircraft model specific data. Each EIS gauge must be shown full time on the Main Engine
Display if it has a limitation marking (i.e. yellow and red) in the POH/AFM, TCDS, or other
aircraft model specific data.
The number of engine gauges that can be displayed on the Main Engine Display is dependent
on the GDU and type of gauges installed. Use the following guidance to determine whether all
gauges required by the EIS limitations in section 2.1 can be displayed on the Main Engine
Display.
Installation Manual 190-02472-01
G3X Touch EFIS Part 23 AML STC Page 35 Revision 7
For GDU 460 (10.6” display) the following gauge combinations can be displayed on the
Main Engine Display:
a. With manifold pressure – Two round gauges (RPM and MAP) and six bar graphs.
b. Without manifold pressure – One round gauge (RPM) and eight bar graphs.
Table 3-5 shows the space usage requirement for each EIS gauge:
NOTE
If installed, the RPM, Manifold Pressure, Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature, and Fuel Quantity
gauges will automatically be displayed on the Main Engine Display. All other gauges can be
configured to appear on the Main Engine Display(provided there is adequate room) or be
hidden. Hidden gauges only appear on the Engine page. Reference the Display Option
configuration setting in section 5.33.1 for more information.
For GDU 470 (7” display) the following gauge combinations can be displayed on the Main
Engine Display):
a. With manifold pressure: Two round gauges (RPM and MAP) and seven bar graphs.
b. Without manifold pressure: One round gauge (RPM) and nine bar graphs.
*Total Time calculation can be supported by RPM, or Oil Pressure, or Flight Time
If an aircraft gauge has markings outside the available sensor range, but the sensor range
includes all limits for the gauge specified by the POH/AFM, TCDS, or other aircraft model-
specific data, the gauge may be replaced by the EIS gauge per this STC.

3.4.2 Displays
Installation Manual 190-02472-01
G3X Touch EFIS Part 23 AML STC Page 39 Revision 7
Adequate space availability in the instrument panel needs to be verified before installation of the
GDUs. Ensure the GDU display and display control knobs do not interfere with the control yoke
when operated through its full range of movements or with the installation of any control locking
devices.
3.4.3 ADAHRS
ADAHRS function is provided by the GSU 25D. Ensure that adequate space and routing of
pneumatic lines from pitot and static ports exists for the installation of the GSU. When possible,
a remote mounted GSU 25D should be mounted to a rigid part of the aircraft structure to ensure
optimal performance of the AHRS. Routing and attachment of pneumatic lines may influence
this system installation. Reference section 4.5 for detailed installation information.
3.4.4 GEA 24 EIS
EIS sensor options and configurations are presented in section 5.33.1 and Table C-6. Select
the sensors required to support the EIS gauges. Specific sensors are discussed in this
subsection.
EGT/CHT
One CHT probe and one EGT probe is required for each cylinder. Compatible probes are listed
in Appendix C.7. If the aircraft has an EGT gauge with a limit marking (red line) and the EGT
probe is installed in the exhaust manifold (i.e. heated by more than one cylinder), that gauge
must be retained. If the existing gauge does not have a limit marking or the POH does not
include operational limitations based on that gauge, it can be removed and replaced by the G3X
Touch EGT/CHT.
All thermocouple lead wires must match the thermocouple type (K or J-Type). Do not crimp
connector pins to a single-conductor thermocouple wire; only use a multi-strand lead wire for
connector pins. Copper wire must never be used for thermocouples.
Oil Temperature Sensor
Use the engine manufacturer’s guidance for probe length and location. Verify the supplied
sensor is compatible with the engine. Shorter probes are available from UMA. Appendix C.7
lists alternate probes that can be interfaced with G3X touch.
Fuel Pressure Sensor
Two sensor options are available depending on aircraft fuel system pressure ranges.
Some fuel-injected engines use a single fuel pressure sensor to indicate fuel pressure and flow.
When replacing such a sensor, individual fuel flow and fuel pressure sensors must be installed
to support the individual indications on G3X Touch EIS.
Some turbocharged engines use a fuel pressure sensor with two pressure ports (i.e., fuel
pressure and upper deck pressure). This pressure sensor cannot be replaced by the G3X fuel
pressure sensor.
Fuel Quantity Sensor
The fuel quantity sensors must be resistive float sensors with a resistance range between 0 to
620 Ω or CiES probes (digital or analog). Extension splices are permissible.
Installation of fuel quantity probes requires additional approval that is beyond the scope of this
STC.
This STC does not approve alteration of any fuel system or component grounding provisions. It
does not approve alteration of component or wiring inside the fuel tank.
If the shunt value cannot be determined, retain the existing gauge(s) or install an appropriately
rated compatible 50 mV shunt. Shunt installation is outside the scope of this STC and must be
approved using another means.
NOTE
When interfacing a GTX 335(D)R/345(D)R to G3X, a configuration module should not be
installed in the GTX 3X5(D)R. In lieu of using the PC Tool described in the GTX 3XX Part 23
AML STC Installation Manual, all necessary configuration settings on the transponder are
performed via the G3X system (reference sections 5.29 and C.3 for more information).
3.5.7 Traffic
The G3X system supports a variety of airborne traffic data sources:
A G3X Touch system with GDU 4X0 displays can receive traffic data from a GDL 50R ADS-B
receiver or 52R dual ADS-B/SXM receiver via the same connection method used for FIS-B
weather data.
A G3X Touch system with GDU 4X0 displays can receive ADS-B traffic data from GNX 375 or
GTX 345/345R transponders via the same RS-232 connection used for FIS-B weather data.
These transponders can also simultaneously provide ADS-B traffic data to a GTN or GNS
WAAS navigator.
The GTS 8XX active traffic system is compatible with the G3X system, providing ADS-B traffic
data in addition to TAS or TCAS I functionality. The GTS interface to the G3X system requires
an RS-232 connection to a GDU display. TCAS-capable GTS 8XX units also require an ARINC
429 connection to the GTX transponder. The GTS 8XX must not be interfaced to the G3X
display system when an ADS-B In capable transponder such as the GTX 345(R) or GNX 375
are installed.
TIS-A traffic data can be provided by GTX 33, 330, and GTX 335(D)/335(D)R transponders.
Traffic data is provided to the G3X system via the CAN bus from the ADAHRS unit, to which the
transponder is connected.
Traffic data from various non-Garmin devices that emulate the Garmin TIS-A format is
supported via an RS-232 connection from the traffic device to a GDU display.
For any of the above data sources, traffic data is shared between GDU displays via the CAN
bus. If multiple sources of traffic data are available, the best source is selected automatically.
Refer to the Pilot’s Guide for further information on traffic data source selection.
In an installation that includes a GTN/GNS navigator and transponder with ADS-B or TIS-A
traffic capability, traffic data is provided to the GTN/GNS via an ARINC 429 or HSDB (High
Speed Data Bus) connection. For further information, refer to APPENDIX B, APPENDIX C and
the transponder installation manual.
NOTE
If an external traffic warning system is installed on the aircraft, either the G3X or the external
traffic warning system must be configured to disable traffic aural alerts to prevent redundant or
conflicting alerts. This may also be accomplished by disconnecting the aural alerting interface
to the audio panel from an external traffic system.
NOTE
Certain operating requirements (e.g., 14 CFR Part 135) may impose additional requirements
in the event of electrical power loss. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the aircraft
meets the additional requirements if used for these operations.
Note that typical amperages are estimated and are based on listed maximums and common
duty cycles. Display amperages measured with 100% backlighting. The GAP 26 typical values
are based on an OAT of 20°C.
Net change to the electrical load with the G3X system installed must be determined. Net
decrease in electrical load requires no further analysis, assuming that the electrical system is
within limits. This is likely to occur when existing equipment is removed, or older systems are
replaced with newer equipment that requires less power to operate. The amended electrical
load calculation documenting load reduction should be filed with other aircraft permanent
records.
A sample net electrical load calculation is shown for a 28V aircraft in Table 3-11.

A complete electrical load analysis must be performed to show adequate capacity of the
alternator / generator if the electrical load is increased with a G3X system installed. ASTM F
2490-05, Standard Guide for Aircraft Electrical Load and Power Source Capacity Analysis offers
guidance on preparing an ELA. Alternatively, electrical loads under different operating
conditions can be measured, as discussed below.
3.6.1 Measurement of Electrical Loads
It must be shown that the maximum electrical demand for each alternator does not exceed 80%
of the alternator data plate rating. Discussed in this section is the ELA for a single
alternator/single battery electrical system determined by load measurement. It must be
modified accordingly for aircraft with multiple batteries or alternators. During measurement,
applied electrical system loads must account for combinations and durations for probable
aircraft operations.
NOTE
Circuits must be protected and LRU circuit breaker ratings must meet specifications in section
3.1.2. Additionally, follow guidelines in AC 43.13-1B, chapter 11, section 4.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to equipment, the ammeter must be capable of handling the anticipated
load.
The current measurement is best accomplished with an in-circuit or clamp-on calibrated
ammeter with 0.5 Amp or better precision. Continuous rate as indicated on the alternator and
the battery data plate/nameplate must be noted.
The tabulation form provided in Table 3-12 and Table 3-13 can be used to compile a list of
electrical loads on the aircraft. Typically, the list is comprised of existing circuit breakers and
circuit breaker switches as shown by the example in Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3. Continuous
(e.g., GSU) or intermittent (e.g., COM, beacon light) loads must be identified.
Use the worst-case flight condition and identify which phase of flight each particular load is used
in for normal flight operation. Certain loads are mutually exclusive and will not be turned ON at
the same time such as pitot heat and air conditioning; use only the worst-case load conditions
for each phase of flight.
CAUTION
The pitot heat must be switched on long enough to take the current measurement and then
switched off. As the pitot probe may get hot ensure the probe cover is removed. Care must
be taken to avoid burns or damage to the unit.
The following steps are to be performed at the aircraft:
1. The ammeter must be connected in line between the external power source and the
master relay circuit, as shown in Figure 3-1. This will eliminate errors due to the
charging current drawn by the battery.
NOTE
The Electrical Load Analysis for this installation is only valid for modifications performed under
this STC. Subsequent changes to the aircraft electrical system will require a new load
analysis.

Figure 3-6 – Correct CAN Bus Wiring Example and Node Connections
Daisy-chained LRU’s (LRU’s not at the extreme ends of the CAN bus) connect to the CAN
backbone through short “stub” or “node” connections as shown in Figure 3-6. The length of
each node connection splice should be kept as short as possible, and should not exceed 3
inches, the maximum allowed distance from a splice to a connector.
Multiple devices must not connect to the CAN bus backbone at the same point. Rather than
splicing two or more stub node connections together, the CAN bus should instead be daisy
chained from one device to the next as shown in Figure 3-6.
NOTE
The length of the CAN bus in a G3X installation may be a maximum of 100 feet. This
supersedes any CAN bus length limitations for equipment installed under other STCs (such as
the G5 or GFC500) and connected to the same CAN bus as G3X.
The shields for each CAN bus wire segment must be interconnected, forming a continuously
connected shield from one end of the CAN bus to the other end of the CAN bus. The CAN bus
shield must always be grounded to the device connector backshells.
3.7.2.3 CAN Bus Termination
At each of the two extreme ends of the CAN bus backbone, a 120 Ω resistor is installed to
terminate the bus. Separate resistors are not required in the G3X system. Instead, termination
resistors are provided within the GDUs, GAD 29B, GAD 27 and GTR20/200B, and a Garmin
terminator, P/N 330-00912-00 part of kit P/N 011-02887-00 is used to terminate the GSU 25D,
GEA 24, GMU 11. The GMA 245R cannot be used as a CAN bus terminator.
Both ends of the CAN bus backbone must be terminated as shown in Figure 3-6, but devices
that are not at the ends of the CAN bus must not be terminated.
3.7.2.4 CAN Bus Installation Guidelines
For maximum reliability of the CAN bus, the following guidelines must be followed:
• The CAN bus backbone must be a single linear path with exactly two distinct ends.
CAN bus connections must be “daisy-chained” from device to device. Avoid “star”
and “Y” topologies, and do not use a hub device. Reference Figure 3-6.
• The overall length of the bus must not exceed 100 feet.
• Do not connect more than one device to the CAN bus backbone at the same point.
Instead, daisy-chain the CAN bus backbone from one device to the next.
• Observe proper wiring, shielding, and grounding requirements as described above.
• Terminate the CAN bus at the two extreme ends of the bus, as described above.
• When adding a new device to the CAN bus, evaluate proposed modifications to the
CAN bus wiring connections to ensure compliance with all above requirements.
Shielding requirements for other LRU connectors are met by their specific interconnect
drawings. Interconnect diagrams in this manual only show end to end connections and do not
show intermediate connections that may be present in an aircraft.

SHEET METAL
SHEET METAL
NOTE
When a GSU 25D is mounted on the back of a GDU 4X0, no separate bonding is required for
the GSU; GDU bonding strap is sufficient for both LRUs.
2) Following equipment shall be bonded via bonding strap to its connector backshell per
section 4.2.3:
GDU 4X0, GMU 11, and GDL 5XR
For each LRU a maximum bonding value of 2.5 milliohms is allowed (10 milliohms is allowed for
the GAP 26) when measured with a calibrated 4 wire milliohm meter.
Brackets installed with four or more rivets can provide sufficient electrical bond to allow
equipment chassis or install rack to be bonded to the bracket. For the best results when creating
an electrical bond, contact locations between the supporting structure and brackets should be
cleaned and prepared for bond. The following steps are an acceptable method for bonding
aluminum surfaces:
1. Clean grounding location with solvent.
2. Remove non-conductive films or coatings from the grounding location using a bonding
brush or equivalent tool.
3. Apply a chemical conversion coat such as Alodine 1200 to the bare metal.
4. Once the chemical conversion coat is dry, clean the area.
5. Install brackets to supporting structure.
6. All areas must be refinished to the original finish specifications.
NOTE
The radius of the cleaned area must be 0.125” larger than the radius of the fastener head.
Ensure that there is no non-conductive finish under the head of the fastener.
After satisfactory electrical bond is achieved, when it has been necessary to remove any
nonconducting finish, the area from which the coating has been removed should be refinished
with the same finish as is on the rest of the part within 24 hours. In cases where the parts come
in with certain areas spot-faced, or if the there is no finish on the part (bare metal), apply
conformal coating over the bond joint and hardware per MIL-I-46058 or clear lacquer per
TT-L20-A in order to facilitate future inspection. Refer to the model specific Aircraft Maintenance
Manual or Standard Practices Manual for surface protection requirements applicable to affected
areas. The correct material finish is important when mating untreated or bare dissimilar metals.
They should be galvanically compatible. When corrosion protection is removed to make an
electrical bond, any exposed area after the bond is completed should be protected again.
Additional guidance can be found in AC 43.13-1B and SAE ARP 1870A. Typical electrical
bonding preparation examples are shown in Figure 4-8, Figure 4-10, and Figure 4-11.
Figure 4-9 – Electrical Chassis Bonding Preparation – Bolt/nut shown (Nutplate similar)
NOTE
For bonding LRUs that have a metal chassis where bonding is performed in accordance with
Figure 4-9 and Figure 4-10, surface preparation is only required for the structure that contacts
the flat washer next to the lock nut.
1. Identify a location for the LRU which is close to the instrument panel or the grounding
structure for the instrument panel.
2. Identify a route between the LRU location and the instrument panel ground that will
accommodate a strip of aluminum tape with a width of at least four inches and a length-
to-width ratio of 7:1.
3. If the tape will come in contact with carbon composite material, the tape must be
electrically isolated from the carbon composite material to prevent corrosion due to
dissimilar materials. Secure a thin layer of fiberglass cloth to the carbon fiber with
fiberglass resin as shown in Figure 4-12
4. Identify a grounding location. The ground must be a bare metal surface on the
instrument panel or grounding structure for the instrument panel. If it is impractical to
reach a grounding location with aluminum tape, then:
a. The tape shall meet a 5:1 length to width ratio.
b. The bond strap shall be one inch wide and no longer than five inches.
5. Prepare the aluminum surface at the ground location outlined in Section 4.2 or identify a
ground stud to which the braid can be attached. Any new ground stud shall also be
prepared for electrical bonding.
6. Route the tape between the LRU mount and the grounding location for the instrument
panel. If needed to maintain the 7:1 length-to-width ratio, the tape can be overlapped in
more than one strip.
7. If two pieces of tape need to be joined end-to-end, they can be joined as illustrated in
Figure 4-13.
8. Fold the end of the tape over twice for added thickness at the prepared grounding
location. Refer to Figure 4-14. Apply three-inch wide tape over the seam as shown.
9. The tape shall not have any tears in the joint or along the length of the tape as tears will
degrade the bonding performance.
10. Electrical bond preparation for all aluminum-to-aluminum interfaces per SAE ARP1870A
section 5.1 and 5.5.
11. If a bonding strap will be used to reach the grounding location, secure the end of the
tape to the secondary composite surface as shown in Figure 4-14. Note that the
Installation Manual 190-02472-01
G3X Touch EFIS Part 23 AML STC Page 78 Revision 7
procedure for installing mounting bolts applies only to secondary aircraft structures, not
to structural load-carrying members. The tape shall meet 5:1 length to width ratio if a
bonding strap is used. The bonding strap shall be one inch wide and no longer than five
inches. Refer to Figure 4-14.
12. Terminate both ends of the bonding strap with MS20659-130 terminal lugs.
13. Install AN960C10 washer between the terminal lug and the mating metal surface and
secure with a #10 steel bolt. Ensure that the lug and washer are centered and in full
contact with the mating surface with no overhang when secured.
14. Secure the end of the tape in place using a 0.063” piece of aluminum using three bolts
and nuts. Refer to Figure 4-14.
15. Secure the aluminum tape to the LRU or mounting rack as shown in Figure 4-15 (GAD
29B is shown as an example installation).
16. Verify that the resistance between tape and the local grounding location does not
exceed 2.5 mΩ.
NOTE
The following buildup instructions are only used when the bonding strap being installed
requires a #10 ring terminal for termination at an LRU backshell.
Create the bonding strap using the following instructions:
1. Cut an appropriate length of a metal braid listed in the table (maximum ten inches)
2. Terminate both ends with the stated MS25036 terminal
3. Find a location on structure to create or re-use an existing ground stud that is size #10
for connection to this bonding strap from the LRU backshell.
4. If creating a new ground stud, create a #10 ground stud in accordance with the
instructions stated in section 4.1.5. Hole to be Ø0.201.
5. If using a #8 ring terminal for connection to the backshell, reference Figure 4-2 for
hardware buildup using ring terminal bonding strap part numbers listed in Table 4-10.
6. If using a #10 ring terminal for connection to the backshell, use the following method to
connect the #10 terminal to the LRU backshell, create the following hardware buildup as
shown below in Figure 4-17:
7. Torque hardware buildup to 11-17 in-lbs.

The location of the GDU display on the instrument panel in relation to the centerline of the
Pilot’s control wheel depends on the display size and configuration. When measured from the
centerline of the control wheel, the GDU centerline must be located as defined in Figure 4-19,
Figure 4-20, Figure 4-21, Figure 4-22, Figure 4-23, Figure 4-24 or Figure 4-25.
For mounting guidance of GDU(s) and engine annunciator lights (as applicable) on instrument
panel, and display configuration options, reference Table 4-11 for installations without EIS or
Table 4-12 for installations with EIS and the applicable figures.
NOTE
Additional Copilot display installations on the right side of the panel in a side-by-side cockpit or
in the second cockpit of a tandem aircraft are not listed below and may be installed outside the
dimensions shown in the referenced figures. Refer to Section 2.1 for limitations related to the
additional Copilot display(s).
* ENGINE Annunciator Lights are required if a standalone MFD is installed outside of the pilot’s
primary Field of View.
NOTE
GDU location must not affect the readability of any existing or added switches under all
lighting conditions including switches that maybe blocked from the instrument flood lights.
NOTE
An additional Copilot MFD may be installed on the right side of the panel outside of the
dimensions shown in Figure 4-21 and Figure 4-22. Refer to Section 2.1 for limitations related
to the additional right-side display.
Copilot displays installed in the second panel of a tandem aircraft are not subject to the
dimensions shown in Figure 4-19 through Figure 4-22. Refer to Section 2.1 for limitations
related to displays in tandem aircraft.
NOTE
In a standalone 7” MFD installation with EIS, Engine Annunciator Lights are only needed
when the MFD centerline is more than six inches away from the centerline of the pilot’s
primary field of view.
NOTE
Engine Annunciator Lights are not required for 10.6” standalone MFD if the Main Engine
Display is configured on the left side of the MFD, as shown in Figure 4-25. In configuration

NOTE
New instrument panels may be fabricated if the existing instrument panel is not part of the
aircraft primary structure.
The GDU 4X0 cutout and location of standby instruments must be the only differences
between the new and the replaced instrument panel assembly. This STC is not the basis for
airworthiness approval of instrument panel modifications.
The GDU 470 may also be installed in the avionics stack instead of the instrument panel
provided the same requirements for fabricating a new instrument panel (below) are met.
CAUTION
If the original pneumatic airspeed indicator displays aircraft operating limits that vary with
altitude (such as barber pole type airspeed indicators), the original pneumatic airspeed
indicator capable of replicating the variable limit must be used as the standby instrument.
It must be verified that the original airspeed indicator is not part of an existing airspeed
warning system when considering instrument removal or replacement. If it is part of the
airspeed warning system, this system must continue to operate following the installation of the
G3X system.
Standby instruments must be located within two inches of the GDU 4X0. Positions above,
below, or on either side of the display are acceptable. In multiple display installations the
standby instruments are required to be installed next to the PFD1 only.
Standby instruments can be arranged in any order. Preferred order, from top to bottom when
positioned vertically, or from left to right when positioned horizontally, is:
• Attitude Indicator (Top or Left)
• Airspeed Indicator (Middle or Center)
• Altimeter (Bottom or Right)
Figure 4-26 shows a GDU 460 display; the relative location of the standby instruments is the
same if installing a GDU 470.
A single G5 indicator installed by STC SA01818WI can be used as the required standby
instrument for the attitude, airspeed, and altitude indicator, reference APPENDIX E for details.
If used, the G5 must be positioned above, below, to the right, or to the left of PFD 1. Figure
4-27 shows a GDU 460, the relative location of the G5 is the same if installing a GDU 470.

Protection of G3X LRUs from Indirect Effects of Lightning (IEL) in aircraft with airframes
constructed from non-metallic materials require special precautions detailed in APPENDIX D.
When installing remote LRUs:
1. The combined weight of all added LRU’s, including racks, connectors, and equipment
already installed on the shelf must remain within the established weight limit for
equipment installed on the existing shelf as referenced by a placard or in the aircraft
records.
2. The base of the unit rack must not be deformed as a result of the installation.
3. When drilling fastener holes in the existing shelf, the added holes must maintain a
minimum of 2D edge distance (D is fastener hole diameter) from the shelf edges and 3D
minimum edge distance from existing holes.
If an existing shelf cannot meet these criteria, a new shelf needs to be procured from the aircraft
manufacturer or fabricated. The following sections provide LRU mounting specific information.

Aircraft: the configurable items under the aircraft tab are described below:
Aircraft identifier: enter the aircraft registration number. The aircraft’s registration
number is used in the data log page.
Aircraft Type: select “Fixed Wing”.
Map symbol: The aircraft symbol that is displayed on the Map page can be selected
from different vehicles that are stored internally to the unit. Additional vehicles may be
downloaded from www.garmin.com/vehicles.
NOTE
To use a downloaded .srf aircraft symbol, create a ‘Vehicle’ directory on the SD card(s), then
copy the .srf file to the new ‘vehicle’ directory. For installations with multiple GDUs, the .srf file
must be present on each SD card inserted into each of the GDUs. If the file is not present the
GDU will use the default black-and-white airplane symbol.
Flight planning fields: adjust the default values, using the aircraft’s Type Data such
as POH or AFM to enter fuel flow, and cruise speed used in normal mode for flight
planning calculations (ETE, Leg Fuel, etc.).
Reference Speed: using the aircraft’s POH/AFM, enter the applicable V-speeds. To properly
configure the airspeed tape to be representative of the existing removed ASI, the v-speeds must
be entered in accordance with aircraft data.
For known Sink Rate at Vg: From the aircraft Pilot’s Operating Handbook, enter the Best Glide,
Sink Rate in feet per minute. This value is used to compute and display a Glide Range Ring on
the moving map.
NOTE
To use different units for Glide Distance, for example statute miles instead of nautical miles,
the system units will need to be changed in the “Units Configuration” page (Section 5.18).
If a Sink Rate at Vg cannot be determined by information in the POH, the value should be left at
zero and a Glide Range Ring will not be displayed.The aircraft's maximum airspeed limit can be
configured in three different ways. All aircraft have a maximum indicated airspeed limit (VNE)
which is configured using the VNE - Indicated field. This airspeed is marked on the PFD
airspeed tape with a red line and does not change with altitude. In this example, the value for
VNE has been entered as 205 knots indicated airspeed. The aircraft is below the never-exceed
speed any time its indicated airspeed is below 205 knots.
WARNING
Some aircraft have maximum speed limitations defined in the POH/AFM that cannot be fully
depicted by a fixed VNE redline on the Airspeed Indicator. These aircraft may have a placard
which specifies any such additional speed limitations. If G3X cannot be configured to clearly
depict all airspeed limitations, the placard must be retained in the location specified by the
aircraft manufacturer. If that location is not available, the placard must be placed near the
PFD’s airspeed tape.
PFD G Meter: The G-meter may be displayed at any time via the PFD Setup page. Not
entering any values, or clearing the values, disables the G-Meter entirely. Any values entered
must be in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer’s specifications in the POH/AFM.
CAUTION
It is the installer’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of the data/values entered and the
resulting envelope graph depicted on the weight and balance configuration page.
NOTE
The Pilot Operation Handbook (POH) for the aircraft being configured is required to configure
the weight and balance page.
NOTE
The following settings only appear if COM Radio is configured in the system.
PFD/MFD COM Radio Display Location: Controls which GDU will display the COM Radio in a
multi-display system.
• User Selected (default setting): This setting is recommended to allow the pilot/user to
select the desired COM Radio location in normal mode.
• MFD: The COM radio buttons/controls will always appear on the MFD in a multi-

CAUTION
It is the installer’s responsibility to verify that all G3X aural alerts and messages are
configured to an appropriate volume to ensure they can be clearly heard while the aircraft is
flying at maximum power and airspeed.
NOTE
Sound volume configuration settings will vary by aircraft and audio panel. If using a Garmin
audio panel such as the GMA 345, many installations will require increasing the audio panel
volume for the unswitched, unmuted aux input connected to the GDU (even after the G3X
Alert and Message volume levels are set to 100%).
The configuration options for the Sound Configuration Page are listed/described as follows:
Alert Volume: Controls the volume level (settings from 0-100%) of audio alerts for Altitude,
CAS, Integrated Autopilot, Terrain, and Traffic. For most installations, configure Alert Volume to
100%.
Message Volume: Controls the volume level (settings 1-10 or OFF) of message tones for
Airspace Advisory Messages, Approaching VNAV Target Altitude Message, etc. For most
installations, configure Message Volume to 100%.
Terrain Audio: Enables/disables terrain awareness audio alerts.
Traffic Audio: Enables/disables Traffic Audio alerts.
Traffic N/A Alert: Enables/disables Traffic Not Available alerts.
Altitude Alert: Enables/disables the Altitude Alert tone.
Altitude Alert Volume: Controls the volume level (settings from 0-100%) of the Altitude Alert
tone. For most installations, start by configuring Altitude Alert Volume to 60% and adjust as
needed.
Minimums Alert: Enables/disables the Altitude Minimums tone.
Alert Source: If more than one GDU 4X0 is installed an Alert Source field will appear on the
SOUND Configuration page. For the G3X STC set to “PFD”.
Alert Output: If set to Mono & Stereo, alert tones and messages will be output on both the
mono and stereo outputs. If set to Mono Only, alert tones and messages will be output only on
the mono output. For the G3X STC set to “Mono Only”.
NOTE
The RS-232 port on connector P4x01 cannot be configured. It is hard-coded to be compatible
only with the GEA 24 and GSU 25D.

When a field under the “GEA Inputs” tab is selected, the specific sensor page will be displayed
with the following four configurable tabs/fields:
1. Input Configuration: The specific installed or interfaced engine/airframe sensor
connected to the GEA 24 is selected in the input configuration tab.
All gauge options except Engine Time and Total Time have configurable Gauge Marking
and a Gauge Display Range section.
2. Gauge Markings: Set the gauge markings to match the POH, if applicable. If the
existing aircraft gauges that are being replaced do not match the AFM/POH or other
approved data, the installer must resolve the discrepancy. Gauges that are being added
by G3X may require references other than the AFM/POH for markings, for example the
engine or propeller TCDS or operating manual.
NOTE
Lean Assist is a feature that monitors and detects peak temperatures for EGT or TIT as the
pilot leans the engine's air/fuel mixture. When configuring EGT or TIT inputs, Lean Assist can
be enabled or disabled. If Lean Assist is enabled, the LEAN softkey will appear on the ENG
page in normal mode. Lean Assist should be disabled for engines that do not have pilot-
controllable air/fuel mixture.

1. Select the installed fuel quantity probe: Resistive, Voltage, or Digital.
The GEA 24 supports four fuel quantity inputs (FUEL 1 through 4), any of which can be
used with an analog or digital fuel quantity sensor. Reference Table C-6 for input selection
nomenclature for approved interfaces.
NOTE
All fuel quantity gauges must be displayed on the Main Engine Display. Reference section
2.1 EIS Limitations for other required gauges and section 3.3.5 for Main Engine Display
requirements and limitations to ensure all required gauges will fit on the Main Engine Display
prior to replacing an aircraft’s existing fuel gauges with G3X EIS interfaces.
2. Select the fuel quantity configuration to match the POH and existing nomenclature (i.e.
Fuel Quantity or Main Fuel):
• Fuel 1 – Fuel Quantity 1/L, Main Fuel 1/L
• Fuel 2 - Fuel Quantity 2/R, Main Fuel 2/R
• Pos 3/GP 3/ Fuel 3 - Aux Fuel 1/L
• Pos 4/GP 4/ Fuel 4 - Aux Fuel 2/R
3. Configure “Gauge Display” and “Gauge Markings”.
NOTE
If the original fuel quantity gauge being replaced by G3X has a numeric value specified at the
upper limit of the indicator, the upper limit of the Display Range on the G3X fuel quantity
gauge must be set to the same value. If the original fuel quantity gauge does not have a
numeric value specified for the upper limit of the indicator (i.e. it is marked 'F', Full, or similar
unspecified quantity), set the upper limit of the Display Range to match the maximum quantity
of fuel which can be measured by the fuel probe. This quantity is often less than the
maximum tank capacity. Refer to section 5.33.1.9.1 steps 10 & 11 to determine the maximum
probe quantity.
NOTE
NOTE
It is recommended that the fuel tank be lightly ‘thumped’ or ‘tapped’ several times after fuel is
added before entering each calibration point. This is performed to aid in overcoming the
friction of the float. This is especially important for resistive senders.
To perform the Fuel Quantity calibration:
Installation Manual 190-02472-01
G3X Touch EFIS Part 23 AML STC Page 226 Revision 7
1. Drain all fuel from the tank.
2. Orient the aircraft appropriately for the calibration curve (normal flight or ground/taxi)
being performed.
• For the normal flight curve, level the aircraft in accordance with the procedure in
the aircraft maintenance manual.
• For the ground/taxi curve, ensure the aircraft is sitting in a normal ground attitude
on a level surface.
3. Press the Calibrate button to display the Calibration Page for the selected fuel probe.
4. Add unusable fuel. This must be the amount defined by the aircraft manufacturer and is
typically available in the POH.
5. Manually vibrate the area near the fuel sensor to prevent the float from sticking and to
improve the sensor response. Select Store Calibration Point to set the first point with 0.0
gal of usable fuel.
6. At least 5 calibration points are required. Add a known quantity of fuel (e.g. 5.0 gallons)
into the fuel tank. Enter that same quantity in the Actual Fuel Quantity field.
7. Note the resulting sensor value displayed in the Input Voltage (or Input Frequency) field
should change when fuel is added.
8. Manually vibrate the area near the fuel sensor to prevent the float from sticking and wait
at least two minutes for the reading to stabilize.
9. Press the Store Calibration Point button.
10. Repeat steps 6-9 until the fuel tank is full or until the input voltage/frequency is no longer
changing when fuel is added (the float may reach its upper limit of travel before the tank
is completely full). Verify at least five calibration points were used.
11. Record the fuel quantity at which the float reaches its upper limit, if applicable. If any
points were added after the float reached its upper limit (indicated by a vertical line on
the calibration curve), the additional point(s) must be deleted. To delete a calibration
value, highlight the desired data point in the list, and press the Delete Button.
12. Select “Save” once calibration is complete.
13. Select “Save” again on the Edit Input Page to ensure the fuel calibration curves are
saved.
A yellow line on the graph indicates potentially incorrect/invalid info.
Fuel quantity inputs configured for digital sensing are calibrated in the same manner as resistive
senders except that the resulting frequency in kHz from the sensor is displayed instead of the
voltage. Frequencies up to 50 kHz are supported.
Fuel Quantity Calibration Data Backup: This option allows the user to back up fuel calibration
data to an SD card placed in the SD card slot of the PFD. Access the Read/Write Calibration
File menu by pressing the Menu key when displaying the Fuel Quantity Calibration Page.
Write Calibration File: Stores fuel quantity calibration data to a file on the SD card.
Calibration data is saved to the /Garmin/cal/ directory on the card. This data storage must
be repeated for each calibrated tank if a backup is desired.
Read Calibration File: Reads the stored fuel quantity calibration data from the SD card and
saves it as the calibration curve for the selected Fuel Quantity input.
5.33.1.10 Fuel Flow Configuration
1. Select the installed sensor(s) for the Fuel Flow input to the GEA 24:

Select the FUEL FLOW 2 if a return Fuel Flow transducer was installed, and repeat steps 1
through 4 to configure FUEL FLOW 2.
If both fuel flow inputs are configured, the displayed fuel flow will be FUEL FLOW 1 (feed) minus
FUEL FLOW 2 (return).
5.33.1.10.1 Fuel Flow Calibration
Enter the ‘K’ factor (pulses per gallon) for the fuel flow sensor. Refer to Table 5-6 for the
nominal K-factor values.
Notes:
(1) Use the tag attached to transducer for K-Factor value. Data must be entered as XX, XXX.
For example, if the value is XX.XX, multiply the K-factor value from the tag by 1000 and
enter XX, XXX.
The K-Factor represents the number of electrical pulses output by the sensor per gallon of fuel
flow. Aspects unique to each installation will affect the accuracy of the initial K-Factor, and as a
result, the K-Factor must generally be adjusted up or down to increase the accuracy of the fuel
flow calibration.

cause engine damage.
Obtain an optical tachometer to monitor propeller RPM.
1. Place the aircraft in an open and clear area appropriate for an extended engine run-up.
2. Follow the engine start-up procedure as outlined in the aircraft POH. Adhere to the
required observations immediately following the start such as oil pressure within 30
seconds.
3. Verify the EIS RPM gauge(s) match the optical tachometer reading +/- 50 RPM.
4. Allow the engine to warm up and oil temperature to increase to at least 100°F.
5. Verify the engine oil pressure gauge is reading within the green arc.
6. Verify the EIS RPM gauge matches the optical tachometer reading ±50 RPM during all
phases of the engine run-up.
CAUTION
The real time readout displayed during the interference test is only valid for the location of the
GMU when the test was initiated. If using this procedure to evaluate multiple mounting
locations, the test must be started over for each location, failure to do so could provide
incorrect test results.
NOTE
It is important that all actions are carried out in the order and at the precise elapsed time as
specified in the prepared test sequence.
6. After completing the prepared test sequence, press the Done softkey. Ensure that a
PASSED message appears on the display. The magnetic deviation value is displayed to
indicate the pass or fail margin of the test. Press the Done softkey to return to the
Magnetometer Page.
NOTE
Two common reasons for a failed magnetometer interference test are:
• new equipment is installed near the GMU magnetometer or
• An existing or new electronic device has become grounded through the aircraft
structure instead of by proper ground wire in a twisted shielded pair.
6.16.2 Magnetometer Calibration
NOTE
The Pitch/Roll Offset Compensation procedure in section 5.9.2 must be completed prior to
performing this procedure.
Use a compass rose or calibrated magnetic sight compass to calibrate the magnetometer.
Ensure that the aircraft and compass are located away from magnetic interference sources
including buildings. The accuracy of the ADAHRS cannot be guaranteed if the calibration is not
performed in an area that is free of metallic structure or objects. Refer to the guidance in the
Site Evaluation of Magnetic Disturbances above in section 6.16.1.
With the aircraft stationary, initiate the magnetometer calibration procedure as follows:
1. Start the aircraft engine per the POH/AFM.
2. Taxi the aircraft to a desired calibration area.
NOTE
Ensure that there are no nearby magnetic materials on or near the perimeter of the site. If
unavoidable, maneuver the aircraft to keep the magnetometer from passing within 20 feet of
such objects. Ensure that vehicles or other aircraft are a minimum of 40 feet away from the
aircraft during this procedure.
3. At the site, align the aircraft to a heading of magnetic north (+/- 5°). It is best to offset
the aircraft position to the left (west) of the North/South axis to allow turning clockwise
around the site as indicated below.
NOTE
Passing the Engine Run-Up Vibration test does not remove the requirement to rigidly mount
the GSU 25D. The Engine Run-Up Vibration Test is intended to help discover mounting
issues, but successful completion of the test does not validate the mounting of the GSU and
does not account for all possible vibration profiles that may be encountered during normal
aircraft operation.
1. Power on the PFD in configuration mode if it is not already in configuration mode.
2. Select the ADAHRS Calibration Page.
3. Ensure that all the required status boxes are checked.

radiant heat or use a temperature probe to verify the elevated temperature of the
probe.
• Move the AOA heater switch to the OFF position.
• Remove power from the aircraft.
6.21.2 AOA Probe Leak Check
NOTE
Although 14 CFR Part 91 does not require a leak test, the AOA system leak test is a
requirement for this STC.
NOTE
Both pressure chambers on the GAP 26 probe have drain holes that when open during
normal operation would constitute a designed-in leak that is several times higher than 250
knots/min but does not add significant error.
• After the leak test is completed, make sure all pressure ports and drain holes on the
GAP 26 are open and clear of debris.
WARNING
Failure to make sure the pressure ports and drain holes on the GAP 26 are open and clear of
debris could result in equipment damage or a decrease in safety margins.
NOTE

AOA calibration must be performed on installations that include a GAP 26 to enable AOA
functionality. The AOA calibration is performed in order to configure the four AOA settings
shown on Figure 7-1.
These calibrations must be done while in flight. The AOA calibration procedure is performed
from the Angle of Attack Setup page on PFD 1 accessed in normal mode and requires the
AOA input enabled on the LRU Configuration page (Section 5.8) and “Advanced User Setup”
enabled on the Systems Options page (Section 5.6).
WARNING
AOA calibration involves flying the aircraft at low airspeeds and angles of attack at or near the
stall point. Do not perform AOA calibration until the aircraft's stall recovery characteristics are
well-understood. Before AOA calibration, ensure that the aircraft is clear of all traffic and at a
safe altitude for stall recovery.
NOTE
For best results, perform all AOA calibration in smooth air. Turbulence or rough air can affect
the calibration.
NOTE
The calibration values displayed for the AOA calibration points are proportional to actual AOA
(the greater the calibration value, the greater the AOA) but are not otherwise representative of
any specific unit of measure.
NOTE
After calibrating all required AOA points, if the AOA gauge appears too frequently or not
frequently enough, the Minimum Visible AOA calibration step can be repeated to set a new
value.
7.1.2 Caution Alert AOA Calibration
Caution Alert AOA calibration procedure sets the AOA value for the bottom of the yellow
"chevron" section of the AOA gauge (Figure 7-5), which is also the AOA value at which the
audible stall warning sound will begin to intermittently play.
Perform this calibration while flying the aircraft at an AOA below the aircraft's stall AOA (1.1 x
stall speed (Vso) is suggested).
3. Follow onscreen instructions, then press the “Done” button when completed.
4. Verify that the calibration is successful, then press the Done button.
NOTE
After calibrating all required AOA points, if the AOA caution alert and audio warning occur too
frequently or not frequently enough, the Stall Warning AOA calibration step can be repeated
to set a new value.
7.1.4 Approach Target AOA Calibration
This procedure sets a specific point (1.3 x stall speed (Vso) is suggested) on the AOA gauge to
use as the ideal target AOA for an approach. If calibrated, the approach target AOA will display
3. Follow onscreen instructions, then press the “Done” button when completed.
4. Verify that the calibration is successful, then press the Done button.
NOTE
After AOA calibration is successfully completed and the aircraft has landed, disable

G3X Touch EFIS Part 23 AML STC Page A-15 Revision 7
Fuel, Manifold, and Oil pressure
All pressure sensors are standard three wire inputs. There is one option for excitation voltages
of the transducer +12VDC. For specific wiring information refer to APPENDIX B.
Engine RPM
There are two available methods for measuring engine RPM with the GEA 24. The first method
is via a direct connection to magneto p-leads. In this method a 400kΩ (±10%) resistor needs to
be installed within 6 inches of the connection the p-lead to prevent errant shorts to ground in
case of a broken or shorted wire.
A hall effect sensor can also be utilized for engine RPM sensing. This method does not require
the resistor in line with the signal. Shielded three-wire connections are available for this type of
sensor.
For specific wiring information refer to APPENDIX B.
Fuel Flow
The GEA 24 supports two inputs for fuel flow. These connections are standard three-wire, +12
VDC transducer configuration. For specific wiring information refer to APPENDIX B.
Electrical Parameters
The GEA 24 supports measuring voltage and current from two busses or power sources. The
voltage measurement inputs (J244 pins 25, 28) can be directly connected to any two voltage
sources, with a 1A fuse in line for protection of the GEA.
Two currents can be measured from any desired aircraft source (e.g. battery, external power).
Existing current shunts can be re-used for connection to the GEA 24 if they are 50mV shunts. If
a new shunt is required, a current shunt operating at 50mV is required (e.g. AA55524/1-006). A
1A fuse (or existing fuse) in line with each pin between the GEA and the shunt is required,
regardless of shunt used. The CS3200 Cessna current sensor can also be interfaced to the
GEA24.
For specific wiring information refer to APPENDIX B.
Fuel Quantity
The GEA 24 can provide readings for four fuel tanks. Resistive and digital fuel probes can
interface with the GEA. Existing fuel quantity wiring can be re-used if long enough to reach the
installation location of the GEA. Otherwise a standard environmental crimp splice can be used
along with shielded stranded wire to extend the signal to the GEA.
Resistive probes require a 1kΩ (±1%) 0.5W resistor to be installed in series between the fuel
probe and the GEA.
CiES® probes that are frequency or voltage based can interface with the GEA. These probe
types do not require a resistor to be installed between the GEA and probe.
For calibration and configuration of fuel probes refer to Section 5 and C.7.
For specific wiring information refer to APPENDIX B.
Some aircraft are not allowed connection to resistive probes, see notes column in APPENDIX H
for more details.

The GPS antenna interface on the GDL 5XR is not used in this STC.
Only the SXM connection to the GA 37 antenna is approved in this STC. The GPS connection
to the GA 37 is not compatible with any G3X LRUs but might be used for other installed
equipment under their respective interface approvals.
Also note that if a previously installed G5 is connected to a GPS antenna mounted externally on
the airframe, that antenna must be disconnected when the G5 is used as a standby instrument
for G3X. It may be possible to repurpose the external antenna for other avionics if it is
compatible under their respective interface approvals.
The GPS antenna should provide a gain of 16 to 25 dB. The GDU 4X0 supplies power to the
antenna at 4.5-5.5 VDC with a maximum current of 50 mA.
The following information describes antenna performance requirements for proper system
functionality.
* - For each 1 dB gain over 24 dB, add 1 dB of attenuation into the antenna cable path between
the antenna and the GDU.
The GDL 50R or GDL 52R requires an external monopole or blade-type ADS-B antenna for
reception. The antenna should be mounted on the bottom of the aircraft and located at least 3.3
feet from high power transmitting antennas such as VHF Comm, HF transmitter, DME,
Transponder, and Radar. The connection is made by attaching the coax cable from the external
antenna to the BNC connector on the GDL 50R/52R. The GDL 50R/52R requires a UHF
antenna that meets the following specifications:
• Standard 50 Ω vertically polarized antenna with a VSWR < 1.7:1 at 978 MHz and < 1.5:1
at 1090 MHz.
• TSO-C66, TSO-C74, or TSO-C112 antennas that also meet the VSWR specification.
The GTR 20/200B requires an external COM antenna for reception. The COM antenna should
be electrically bonded to a flat ground plane over as large an area as possible (at least 18
inches square). The antenna should be located at least 6 feet from other COM antennas, four
feet from any ADF sense antennas, two feet from any GPS/SBAS antenna, and as far apart as
practical from the ELT antenna for best performance. A configuration of one top-side antenna
and one bottom-side antenna is recommended for dual COM installations. The GTR 20/200B
requires a VHF antenna that meets the following specifications:
• Standard 50 Ω vertically polarized antenna.
• TSO-C37() and C38() or TSO-C169().
The GMA 245R may optionally be connected to an external marker beacon antenna for
reception. The antenna must meet TSO-C35(). The marker beacon antenna should be mounted
on a flat surface on the underside of the aircraft body.
The antenna should be located to minimize the amount of structure between it and the ground
radio stations. It should be located as far away as possible from transmitter antennas.
In a composite aircraft, the antenna must have an acceptable ground plane. Conductive wire
mesh, radials, or thin aluminum sheets embedded in the composite material provide the proper
ground plane.
D.1.1 Wings
The different zoning for wingtips and wings is described in the following subsections.
D.1.1.1 Wingtips
Aircraft Not Limited to VFR Operation
Zoning of various types of wingtips is shown in Figure D-1.
Figure D-1A shows zoning for straight wingtips. Figure D-1B shows zoning for curved wingtips;
whose zones are similar to those of straight wingtips. The main difference is that Zone 1 on
curved wingtips extends from the outboard edge of the wing past the tangent point of the chord
and 0.5m inboard.
Figure D-1C shows zoning for winglets. Note that the winglet figure shows a flattened winglet.
Winglet classifications are very similar to those of curved wingtips. The main difference is that
Zone 1 extends from the outboard edge of the wing past the tangent point of the winglet and
0.5m inboard.
Figure D-1D shows zoning for tip tanks. The rule that applies to tip tanks is very similar to that
of the curved wing. The main difference is that Zone 1 extends 0.50m past the inboard edge of
the tip tank.

C (WINGLET) D (TIP TANKS)
NOTE
The aircraft must have a position light in the wing tip area as a prerequisite for this STC.
If there is no position light on the wing, then Zone 3 does not exist and the GTP 59 cannot be
installed on this particular aircraft. For those aircraft identified as VFR in APPENDIX H, the
following criteria is used to determine the Zone 3 area:
• Zone 1A/1B finishes as shown in Figure D-1 or 0.5 meters inboard from the inboard
edge of the position light, whichever is the greater distance from the outboard edge of
the wing tip, as shown in Figure D-2.

• Zone 2A/2B extends a total of 2.1 meters inboard of Zone 1A/1B.
• Zone 3 extends inboard of Zone 2A/2B from the wing tip and stops at another Zone
1A/1B or 2A/2B determined from other areas of Appendix Section D.1.2.

D.1.2 Fuselage
The empennage is zoned in Appendix Section D.1.3.
Aft of every Zone 2A is a 0.15-meter Zone 2B (i.e., Zone 2A is followed by a 0.15-meter Zone
2B). Although Zone 2B areas are marked on the diagrams, sometimes their widths are not
defined (0.15 meters should be used in these cases).
The horizontal stabilizer of the tail is NOT zoned because neither the GTP 59 nor the GMU 11
can be mounted there. In addition, neither the GTP 59 nor the GMU 11 can be mounted within
0.5 meters of the rear-most point of the fuselage. Section D.1.3 explains the conditions under
which the GTP 59 can be mounted on the vertical stabilizer. Although all diagrams show low
wing aircraft, the same zoning can be applied to high wing aircraft. The values d1 and d2 are
defined as follows:
• d1 = 1.3m (51.2”)
• d2 = 2.6m (102.4”)
Figure D-4 shows zoning for both low and high-wing aircraft. The area of the nose immediately
aft of the propeller is Zone 3. The 0.6m distance should be measured from the outboard-most
edge of the fuselage or the tip of the propeller, whichever is longer. Figure D-6 show the case
of an aircraft with a curved fuselage. The portion of the fuselage that extends 1.3m aft of the
propeller blades is Zone 1C. The bottom centerline is Zone 2A, and it is an acceptable location
to mount the GTP 59.
D.1.3 Empennage
If the GTP 59 cannot be mounted in Zone 3 areas of the aircraft, it is acceptable for metal
aircraft with one of the three traditional empennages shown in Figure D-8 to mount the GTP 59
in the Zone 2A area of the tail.
However, the GTP 59 or GMU 11 cannot be mounted on/under any non-conducting surfaces. If
the complete empennage of the aircraft being considered does not match those shown in Figure
D-8, then it should be mounted in allowed areas defined for the fuselage and wings. If only
portions of the empennage shown below match, then the same rule applies and the GTP 59
cannot be installed in the empennage.
Neither the GTP 59 nor the GMU 11 can be mounted in the tail of a composite empennage.
NOTE
It is allowable for only the horizontal stabilizer tips to differ from those shown in Figure D-8.
The GTP 59 cannot be installed in the horizontal stabilizer of the empennage.
* - The approved G5 Electronic Flight Instrument Part 23 AML STC software is P/N 006-B2304-
XX. XX denotes the specific version P/N, i.e. 006-B2304-02 is software version 2.60. To verify
the latest approved software visit www.Garmin.com and navigate to the Aviation /General
Aviation/Flight Instruments & Indicators/G5 page. Select “Software” in the overview tab.
E.2 G5 Interface
The following sections and information on the interconnect diagrams in APPENDIX B describe
the interface between the G5 and the G3X system as well as the rest of the aircraft systems.
The G5 as a standby flight display for G3X must have a GPS source other than from the GDU.
This must be either its own glareshield mounted GPS antenna (Garmin p/n 011-04036-00
connected using the 330-01754-00 TNC/BNC Adapter) or from a Garmin GPS 175, GNX 375,
GNC 355(A), GTN 6XX/7XX, GNS 4XXW/5XXW, or GTX 3X5(D)(R) with GPS option.
NOTE
If a previously installed G5 is connected to a GPS antenna mounted externally on the airframe,
that antenna must be disconnected when the G5 is used as a standby instrument for G3X. The
only acceptable GPS antenna for a G5 standby instrument is the glareshield mounted antenna.
E.3 Installation Guidance
The G5, when installed as a standby flight display, is to be installed within close proximity of the
G3X primary flight display. A maximum edge-to-edge distance between the G5 and a G3X PFD
should be no more than two inches. The G5 may be located above, below, or on either side of
the PFD. In multiple display installations the standby instruments are required to be installed
next to the PFD 1 only.
See Figure E-1 below for a typical example of an installation of a G5 and a G3X PFD.
Reference the GI 275 Part 23 AML STC Installation Manual for connector kits and other
hardware required to complete a GI 275 installation.
F.2 GI 275 Interfaces
The GI 275 has no interface to the G3X system. The following paragraphs provide more detail
about interface limitations and requirements for the GI 275 installed as a G3X standby
instrument.
The GI 275 as a standby flight display for G3X must be connected to either a GPS antenna or a
GTX 3X5 transponder with internal GPS receiver. Reference the GI 275 Part 23 AML STC
Installation Manual for more information.
F.2.7 Audio
The GI 275 audio output must not be connected when used as a standby flight display for G3X.
F.4 Configuration
The GI 275 must be configured as ‘ADI’ with Standby set to Disabled.
NOTE
When the GI 275 is installed as a standby instrument for G3X, from the perspective of the GI
275 Part 23 AML STC Installation Manual it must be configured as a Primary ADI and not a
Standby.
CAUTION
If both the GMU 11 and GAP 26 AOA probe will be installed in the same wing, it is
recommended to install the GAP 26 and connect the probe heater wiring prior to performing
the magnetic survey.
DC Power Source
To perform the magnetic interference survey, it is required to use a DC power source capable of
supplying 8-36 VDC/350 mA to the G3X GDU for test purposes.
GDU
A G3X GDU 4X0 is required to run the magnetic interference survey. Use normal aircraft power
to power the GDU or an external power source capable of providing 9-32VDC power.

1 P111 AND J4X01 ARE PART OF GARMIN CONNECTOR KIT P/N 011-03002-00 AND 011-01921-15.
ALTERNATELY, P111 AND J4X01 MAY BE ASSEMBLED USING A TE CONNECTIVITY P/N 1757820-1 OR
POSITRONIC P/N RD09F0000X. INSTALL CAN TERMINATION KIT (GARMIN P/N 011-02887-00) ON THE
GMU 11, PART OF GARMIN CONNECTOR KIT P/N 011-03002-00.
2 J4X02 IS PART OF GARMIN CONNECTOR KIT P/N 011-01921-15. ALTERNATELY, J4X02 MAY BE
ASSEMBLED USING A TE CONNECTIVITY P/N 1757820-5 OR POSITRONIC P/N RD50F0000X.
3 GDU DOES NOT NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO AIRCRAFT POWER FOR THIS TEST SETUP. FOR EXAMPLE
THE GDU CAN BE POWERED BY A PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY CAPABLE OF 9-32VDC. AS LONG AS THE
POWER SOURCE PROVIDES POWER AT 9-32 VDC, THE POWER SOURCE WILL BE ACCEPTABLE FOR THIS
TESTING.
CAUTION
Do not permanently install the GMU 11 prior to successfully completing the GMU 11
location survey. A non-surveyed location may be unsuitable for permanent installation
and cause the GMU 11 to function incorrectly.

Notes:
[1] The GTP 59 cannot be installed on Zone 2A composite areas.
[2] The GTP 59 must be bonded to the aluminum skin. For details, refer to Section 4.11.
NOTE
There is a range of positions that the GDU 470 can fit, laterally, in the pilot side panel when used as the PFD. Only the maximum outboard
position is shown in Figure I-2. If desired, a second GDU 470 may be anywhere to the right of the PFD on the pilot side panel, so long as
no additional fasteners are removed beyond what is allowed in Figure I-4.
7. Remove burrs and sharp edges to R0.01 max and apply a chemical conversion coat such as Alodine 1200 to bare metal.
8. Install new instrument panels with hardware removed in Step 1.
