Model Descriptions
This guide covers the operation of the GNS 530W, GNS
530AW, and the GPS 500W. In general, all models will be
referred to as the 500W-series, except where there are physi-
cal or operational differences. The 500W-series units are 6.25”
wide and 4.60” high. The display is a 320 by 234 pixel color
LCD. The units include two removable data cards, one with
a Jeppesen aviation database (inserted in the left-most card
slot) and the second is a Terrain database (inserted in the
right-most card slot).

GPS 500W
The GPS 500W is a GPS-only unit with a WAAS GPS
engine and is TSO C146a certified for en route, terminal,
precision, and non-precision approaches. The GPS 500W
can simultaneously give aviators vital approach infor-
mation and weather and traffic data in relation to their
position on a large, color moving map display. Thanks to
a high-contrast color display, the information can be easily
read from wide viewing angles even in direct sunlight.
Its color moving map features a built-in database that
shows cities, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes, coastlines,
and a complete Jeppesen aviation database. The Jeppesen
database (that can be updated with a front-loading data
card) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSS,
Approach, DPs/STARs and SUA information. The obstacle
and terrain databases provide an aid to navigation to help
you work with approved navigation charts.

Pilots will enjoy the GPS 500W as an Multi-Function
Display (MFD), especially when it is coupled with traf-
fic, lightning detection, and weather interfaces like Ryan
