GIA 63/GIA 63W Installation Manual Page 1-1
190-00303-05 Revision H
1GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
This manual presents mechanical and electrical installation requirements for installing the GIA 63(W) as
part of the G1000 Integrated Flight Deck. The GIA 63(W) can be integrated into a variety of airframes
under an appropriate TC or STC. Each airframe installation may vary. Use only approved (type or
supplemental type) data for specific installation instructions in a particular aircraft.
1.2 Equipment Description
The GIA 63(W) is a microprocessor-based input/output Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) used in the G1000
Integrated Flight Deck. The GIA 63(W) communicates with the GDU via Ethernet high-speed data bus
(HSDB), and with other LRUs using RS-232, RS-485/422, and ARINC 429. All configuration is done
through the GDU. The GIA 63(W) contains the following sub-assemblies:
•A main processor that interfaces with all LRUs in the G1000 sub-system and performs
calculations for the GFC 700 autopilot (if equipped).
•A twelve channel parallel GPS receiver that simultaneously tracks and uses up to 12 satellites.
The GIA 63W includes a 15 channel WAAS certified GPS receiver.
•A VHF COM transceiver that provides tuning from 118.00 to 136.975 MHz in 25 kHz or
8.33 kHz spacing for 760 or 3040 channel configuration respectively.
•A VOR/ILS localizer receiver that provides tuning from 108.00 to 117.95 MHz in 50 kHz
increments.
•An ILS glideslope receiver that provides tuning from 328.6 to 335.4 MHz as paired with the
frequency tuned on the VOR/ILS localizer receiver.
CAUTION
The operation of unapproved cellular telephones or other unapproved cellular devices
aboard aircraft while airborne is prohibited by FCC rules. Due to the potential for
interference with onboard systems, the operation of unapproved cellular communication
devices while onboard an aircraft that is on the ground is subject to FAA regulations
14 CFR 91.21.
FCC regulation 47 CFR 22.925 prohibits airborne operation of unapproved cellular
telephones installed in or carried aboard aircraft. Unapproved cellular telephones must
not be operated aboard any aircraft while the aircraft is off the ground. When any aircraft
leaves the ground, all unapproved cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be
turned off.
Unapproved cellular telephones that are on, even in a monitoring state, can disrupt GPS
performance.
