1.2 9BScope
The installation instructions and other data contained within this manual are FAA approved under
400W/500W Series AML STC SA01933LA, which is applicable for implementation within airplanes that
are type certificated only under Civil Air Regulation 3 (CAR 3) or 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
Part 23. Only the equipment and systems interfaces described in this manual have been determined to be
mutually compatible and are operationally suitable and approved for use as characterized herein, or within
the FAA approved airplane flight manual supplement (AFMS) reflecting main software version 2.00 and
later. Some differences in operation may be observed when comparing the information in this manual and
the FAA approved AFMS to later FAA approved software versions. Such differences will be identified in
revised editions of the FAA approved AFMS characterizing later software versions, and any applicable
limitations and normal or abnormal operating conditions.
It is possible for installers and other appropriately certificated persons to seek FAA approval for
installation and operational use of the 400W Series equipment with systems not identified in this manual,
such as for aircraft certificated under 14 CFR Parts 25, 27, or 29, by means of a field approval, STC or
TC. Refer to FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 20-138A and other applicable guidance when applying for
installation and operational approval. AC 21-40 provides guidance for the STC approval process and AC
43-210 provides guidance for the field approval process. If the field approval process is used, it is
advisable to consider the conditions and stipulations in FAA Flight Standards Flight Standards
Information Bulletin for Airworthiness (FSAW), 94-32, “Guidance for Performing Field Approvals of
Installation and Operational Use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) or GPS with Wide Area
Augmentation Systems (GPS/WAAS), Referred to as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
Equipment”, as revised.
Regardless of applicability of the AML STC or alternative field approval application for installation and
operational approval, prior to completing the installation and before returning the airplane to service, the
installer or other appropriately certificated person is required to complete and submit an FAA Form 337
(OMB No. 2120-0020), “Major Repair and Alteration Airframe, Powerplant, Propeller, or Appliance” to
their local FAA Flight Standards District Office describing the work accomplished. The FAA Form 337
must detail the equipment and systems to which the respective GPS 400W, GNC 420W, GNC 420AW,
GNS 430W, or GNS 430AW is interfaced and reflect appropriately approved or acceptable data for which
follow-on FAA field approval is being sought. See AC 43.9-1E for instructions for completing the FAA
Form 337.
1.3 10BEquipment Description
The 400W Series units are 6.25 inches wide 2.66 inches high. The display is a 240 by 128 pixel color
LCD. The units include two removable data cards, one with a Jeppesen database (to be inserted in the left
card slot), and the second being a terrain database (to be inserted in the right card slot).
The GPS 400W is a GPS/WAAS unit that meets the requirements of Technical Standard Order (TSO)-
C146a (specified in 314HTable 1-4) and may be approved for IFR en route, terminal, non-precision, and
precision approach operations when installed in reference to the instructions in this manual as referenced
in AML STC SA01933LA.
The GNC 420W/(AW) includes all the features of the GPS 400W, and also includes VHF
communications transceiver. The “AW” model is a 28 VDC unit with a 16 Watt COM transmitter. The
GNC 420W/(AW) meets the requirements of TSOs specified in 315HTable 1-4.
The GNS 430W/(AW) includes all the features of the GNC 420W/(AW), and also includes airborne
VOR/localizer (LOC) and glideslope (G/S) receivers. The “AW” model is a 28 VDC unit with a 16 Watt
COM transmitter. The GNS 430W/(AW) meets the requirements of TSOs specified in 316HTable 1-4.

CAUTION
The GPS 400W Series product lens is coated with a special anti-reflective coating which
is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING
AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important
to clean the lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified
as safe for anti-reflective coatings.
CAUTION
The use of ground-based cellular telephones while aircraft are airborne is prohibited by
FCC rules. Due to potential interference with onboard systems, the use of ground-based
cell phones while the aircraft is on the ground is subject to FAA regulation 14 CFR
§91.21.
FCC regulation 47 CFR §22.925 prohibits airborne operation of ground-based cellular
telephones installed in or carried aboard aircraft. Ground-based cellular telephones must
not be operated while aircraft are off the ground. When any aircraft leaves the ground, all
ground-based cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off. Ground-based
cell phones that are on, even in a monitoring state, can disrupt GPS performance.
