Has anyone successfully output flightplan data from a UPSAT GX50/60 to a 

Garmin 496.   The 496 docs state that the unit receives "Garmin 

proprietary AVIATION DATA protocol" only.  When I look at the format of 

the data that is sent by a 430, it is ALMOST exactly the same as that 

which is sent by a GX50/60.  Was this originally an Apollo data format.  

If so, will the GX50 talk to the 496?   Or are the few small differences 

enough to keep them apart ?  



Is there any definitive paper on this ?   As a last resort, I'll try 

calling Garmin and their Apollo support folks.   Thanks for any help.

Mine works.  I didn't do the cable install or configure the units, but I

do know it does work.  My local avionics tech put the power/data cable

in my Mooney for $100 plus the cost of the cable.

I've got my GX-60 hooked to both by MX-20 and 396 using the same serial TX

from the GX. When I set the flight plan on the GX it shows on both the MX

and 396. The flight plan page of the 396 shows the flight plan name as

"AVIATION IN". You can override it if you want to see something different on

the 396. Works great.

Thanks to those who answered.  I had read (somewhere ?)  that the GX50 

to 396/496 wouldn't work.  Thanks for setting me straight.  I'll wire it 

up next week, while the plane is down for annual.

If your heart is in it C it is never too old. I would suggest you find aq good used cessna 172 C buy it and find an instructor to teach you in your airplane C then fly it a lot as soon as you solo and get your PPL.  You will save a lot of money in the long run. Airplane prices are favorable at the time and in a few years when/if the economy recovers C airplanes have always appreciated in value and you should be able to sell a good used 172 just about any time you need to.  If you are a big city dweller it will be more expensive to keep and maintain any airplane.(hangars/maintnance etc) but if you are near a small town airport C things will be much easier and cheaper to pursue your aviation career goals. I know of several airline pilots who didn't start their career until their mid 40's. This will cost you a big seniority advantage with larger airlines but there are other rewarding flying careers.  Do it for the love of flying and you can't loose.  Do it for money only and you may loose.
