I am considering the G3X for my 8A project. Much like other vendors the G3X includes a VFR WAAS GPS. Sounds like all the accuracy with none of the certification. For one to fly legal WAAS IFR GPS approaches I believe the unit need to be driven off a certified WAAS GPS as far as I understand. Other than the 430W & 530W what are my other options for certified a WAAS GPS feed?

The Garmin GNS-480 also works. Might even find one cheaper now that they stopped production. Too bad, it's a great system.

Hi Robin,
You are correct...and there are a couple alternatives out there, but their price points make the GNS boxes the less expensive way to go. Someone mentioned the 480's and indeed they are WAAS certified, but due to supply & demand, they often times bring more on the used market than a new 430W costs! So, the quick/dirty answer is that the GNS box is still the best way to go from a money perspective.
Sorry I don't have any better news!
Cheers,
Stein

Stein,
No need to be sorry. I am sooooooo use to bad news when
it comes to avionics. J It seems like Garmin would offer a certified
option / plug in for a few thousand as an upgrade path for these units
but I guess they will end up with the cash anyway. I read some place
that Garmin has sold over 130,000 430/430W's. That looks like close to a
billion dollars to me. The one consolation as I have mentioned before is
that I will want a premium Comm in the ship anyway and that's what you
get with the 430W. Same rational I used for buying the G900X. Hay, it
comes with two 16W comms! I wasn't really considering a discontinued
unit in a new panel anyway.
Thanks,
Robin

I'm liking my 480 more and more...Even though they look similar, the functions aren't very similar to the 430/530 units so I may have a new learning curve on the next project..oops....I mean if I have a next project.Rick SkedN246RS
