The information in this manual is STC approved. Only the equipment interfaces covered in this manual are within the scope of this STC. Other equipment may be suitable for use with the GMX 200, but use of such equipment is beyond the scope of this STC – additional FAA approval may be required if equipment not covered in this manual is interfaced to the GMX 200.
GTX330 Mode S Transponder (for TIS traffic). Starting with software Version 2.10, SafeTaxi ™ and FliteCharts ™ can be displayed on the GMX 200. SafeTaxi airport diagrams may be displayed on MAP, IFR, VFR, FIS, and the SPLIT function as part of the display of one of the other functions.

The GMX 200 equipment class is identical to that of the interfaced equipment. Garmin AT has evaluated the GMX 200 with respect to the guidelines of AC 23-18, Installation of Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) Approved for Part 23 Airplanes. The GMX 200 display is not a requirement for Class B TAWS installations.
Garmin retains the exclusive right to repair or replace the unit or software or offer a full refund of the purchase price at its sole discretion. SUCH REMEDY SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY.
Follow the procedure in this manual as it is presented for a successful installation. Read the entire manual before beginning the procedure. The GMX 200 must be mounted in an FAA approved 6.25” wide radio stack. Perform the post installation checkout before closing the work area in case problems occur.
The GMX 200 uses the configured GPS source as the primary position source. If a GDL 90 is connected, the GMX 200 will use the GPS position from the GDL 90 as a backup position source (i.e. the GDL 90 position is used only when the primary GPS position is unavailable).
1 1 2 B If the Altitude Type is set to GPS, the GMX 200 uses GPS Altitude for all of its calculations (if pressure altitude is also available to the GMX 200, pressure altitude will not be used). If a GDL 90 is connected, the GMX 200 will use the GPS Altitude from the GDL 90 as a second altitude source, and the altitude source with the highest integrity will be used for all calculations.
