Model Descriptions

This guide covers the operation of the GTN 625, 635, and 650. In general, all
models will be referred to as the GTN 6XX, except where there are physical or
operational differences. The GTN 6XX units are approximately 6.25 inches wide
and 2.65 inches high. The display is a 600 by 266 pixel, 4.9 inch diagonal color
LCD with touchscreen controls. The units include one removable SD data card
for the databases and software upgrades.
The GTN 6XX simplifies your workload with an easy-to-use touch panel that
provides a visual display of both controls and functions. The required controls
are displayed for the selected function. Keys on the display allow you to access
and control their functions by a simple touch on the interactive display.
The GTN 6XX can integrate a variety of avionics that will not only simplify
operation, but also save panel space. The GTN 625, 635, and 650 have their
own GPS/SBAS navigator and flight planning functions. The GTN 635 adds a
VHF Com radio, while the 650 adds VHF Com and VHF Nav radios. Selected
optional external equipment allows you to display and control active traffic
systems, SirusXM Entertainment Radio, SiriusXM Weather, and a Mode S
transponder directly from the GTN 6XX display, and more. When the optional
transponder is not installed, the area on the right side of the display will show a
line of navigation information instead of the transponder window.

GTN 625

The GTN 625 has a GPS/SBAS engine and is TSO-C146c certified for
primary domestic, oceanic, and remote navigation including en route, terminal,
and non-precision approaches, and approaches with vertical guidance, such
as LPV and LNAV/VNAV. The GTN 625 can simultaneously give aviators vital
approach information 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 database.
The Jeppesen database (that can be updated with a front-loading data card)
contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSSs, Approaches, DPs/STARs,
and SUA information.
