Navworx AMOCS

[rleffler]

The three Navworx AMOCs are now available. There are still more to come over the next couple of weeks.

If you have a Garmin 430/530, 650/750, or 480 as a position source follow the requirements listed in the AMOCs and your local FSDOs procedures and you'll be good to go again.

Bob,

Thank you for your hard work on this! It is likely to be a game changer for a lot of people.

I see that the GTN 650 AMOC is for the ADS600B. Does that apply to the -EXP model, as well?

I have already ordered the $299 solution for my -EXP but have a 650 and would likely have gone this route had I known that it would have been available.

Thanks, again.

The EXP has no input for an external position source. The only real option for the -EXP is there add-on box.

Jesse stated the issue with the exp. there isn't any way to use an external gps.

So far Ralph is the only one that has gone that far in the process. I'll probably get around to it next week sometime.

However, I highly recommend giving your FSDO a call and asking the principal inspector their requirements. As we know with EAB certifications, standards vary greatly from one FSDO to another. I wish it wasn't true, but that's the reality we have to work with.

I second Bob's response...talk to your local FSDO first

I will post my redacted letter after it is successful!
I still need to take a picture of my placard next to the console port connector.
As Bob said, my letter is for my FSDO (PHL) - if that is yours as well, great...
If your (non-PHL) FSDO wants a letter - make sure my template has what they need!

Thanks Ralph and Bob. We really appreciate your work.

I am connecting a 430W to a -013.

I called my FSDO this morning and all they need is a letter notifying them of what I am going to do, and a log book entry saying what I did. Very easy. The FSDO really emphasized that I didn't need their approval, only that they be notified. The FSDO also confirmed that there was no need to send anything to OKC (a 337 or whatever). I sent the letter off this morning. Here's a link to the letter sent to the FSDO, the envelope, and my logbook entry.

430W to a -013 - been there and done that.
Questions, let me know.

Meanwhile what do you have for a transponder / Control Head / Display?

I'm using a SL-70 for transponder / control head and a MX-20 for display of weather/traffic - along with the traffic in the 430W.

Ralph, I'm using a GTX327 to send CONTROL (squawk) to the ADS600-B via RS232, and I'm using an ACK 30.9 Encoder to send BARO ALT to the ADS600-B via RS232. Works like a champ.

Display is 430W via ARINC 429, and tablet/phone via WIFI and/or Bluetooth. V5 has a pseudo heading output and this will enhance the 430s display a lot, since it will now show heading on the traffic targets.
