Some installations of EX3000 and EX5000 MFDs have been made with Garmin 400
and 500 series GPS units connected via RS-232 under previous revisions of this
installation manual. Those installations are known, non-compliant installations with
respect to TSO-C165 as curved paths from the GPS are depicted as straight lines on
the MFD.
!
Avidyne recommends customers with Garmin 400 and 500 series GPS units connected
via RS-232 switch to an ARINC 429 connection, otherwise the following warning must
be added to the pilot's guide: "Warning: The EX5000 MFD will display straight lines
instead of curved lines when curved paths are in the flight plan of a Garmin 400 or 500
series GPS unit."
Installations of EX5000 MFDs with Garmin 400 and 500 series GPS units under this
installation manual must be done using ARINC 429.
