Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2009 1:21 pm Post subject: getting True Air Speed on a Garmin 530

I've been using and installing the Garmin 430 for years and I have used the features that give winds and TAS on nearly every flight.   

 

  A few months ago, I was flying a customers plane that had a 530 and when I tried to get winds and TAS, I was unable to get anything but zeros on the bottom have of the window.  (i.e., the info for winds and TAS)

  

 

  I asked my main avionics man, Jeff Landon, High Desert Avionics, Lancaster, CA  661-494-8300, and the answer he got from Garmin was that a separate air-data-computer is required for the 530.

  

 

  SOOOOO,

  

 

  On another customers plane, again with the 530, I tried to set up the pages like my 430.  Again, no winds and TAS information.  I really couldn't find anything to input that would give me the winds and TAS info I was looking for.

  

 

  Any ideas?

Gary,



That's weird. I just rode along with a friend that has a 1979 V35

equipped with a 530. Winds and TAS show up fine. On the CX20. Perhaps

that's it. The CX20 display "completes" the loop?

As I remember, there are 3 computation pages in the  530 and there is a selection on one of the pages that says "true  airspeed".  You highlight that line and press "enter" .

 You then fill in heading, IAS, OAT, Altitude and it  gives you the rest....this from memory but if you can find the page the rest  will be obvious.....

Ditto my experience with my 530.  

   

Per the manual:  

   

“AUX” page group (selected with big right knob)  

THEN “Flight Planning” page (selected with small right knob)  

THEN “Density Alt / TAS / Winds” option

Hi Jamey, 

 

  I heard there is a software feature that doesn't let the 530 do what the 430 can do.  Apparently, 530 owners didn't like that feature so they corrected the software.  It's a free upgrade.

Hey Gary,  

   

The function I described definitely exists and works on my 530 and has since prior to the 530W upgrade.   Is this different from the feature you utilize on the 430?
