Fly along as I show a Garmin GNX375 G5 HSI LPV Approach while using the area 660 for Geo-referenced approach plate charts. Next time i'll do this during the day so the camera works better.
Hi again Kyle, I wanted to drop by and say thank you for your help a while back you gave me good guidance on the G5 and navigator I went ahead and put 2G5’s and the Garmin 175 in my airplane to replace the miserable KLN89B and I can’t begin to tell you how much I love love love love it!!! It has completely changed everything flying single pilot IFR. Thanks for your good advice thanks for your great videos Garmin owes you a commission check for my upgrade... safe travels. * Ps, Someone mentioned the flickering on your HSI it could possibly be your strobe interfering with your magnameter in the wing tip. My strobe had to be disabled and converted to LED For the same reason just FYI it does mention it in the installation guide also. All the best!
Great video, just finishing up my 375 instal and added my second G5. I have the 796 so waiting to see how it interfaces with the 375, should be similar to the 660. Nice that you have no commercials!
I would have liked to see the glideslope indication on the G5 HSI. I have been told by several people that my autopilot, a IIIB also, will not work with GPSS. I know it won't fly the vertical part of the approach, but that is easily done by controlling power and pitch. But if it will fly the turns, without my having to use the heading bug, that's good enough for me. Thank you!
A very useful video, thanks for publishing it! I've not found very much footage relating to the GNX375 on TH-cam, especially good practical examples like this one. I've got exactly the same panel as you except I have 2 G5s and no Auto Pilot - also I'm not IFR rated - I was really curious what the glideslope indication looked like on the heading indicator. You didn't provide a closeup of it, but I'm guessing it's the little "ladder"-like graphic down the right side of the instrument. Thumbs Up!
A good video to demonstrate the power of the G5 + Garmin GTX375 when used together but I am not sure the Area 660 brings much to the party that Jepps on an iPad could. What was missing was a clear indication that the GPS mode changes happened as required. Knowing the system is functioning correctly is vital when doing and PBN procedures . The GPS mode is annunciation is clear on both the G5 and GTX275, what was not clear was if the pilot was monitoring this.
Thanks for sharing I'm considering putting the Garmin GNC 355 in my Cessna 175A I have the Aspen E5 and the Trutrak Auto pilot. Looks like a nice setup you have, I may have to consider getting a 660, presently I use foreflight on the ipad, not sure if foreflight is going to support the connection to the GNC 355.
First, this is a really great video. I did not realize that you could use the Aera 600 as a reference. It seems that the 660 gives just about as much aux info as does the G3X. One question...how are you able to switch between the DG and HSI modes on the G5? Isnt that option supposed to be only offered when installed experimental? I thought the STC'd version required the installer to choose between modes and lock it in...
Hi Kyle, so I've watch this video about 10 times now. So if I understand it correctly, your AP is only in heading mode and GPSS does all the turns and intercepts for you? The AP would normally be in NAV mode for multiple fixes and turns, yes? But as I see it. It's the equivelent of the AP in heading mode and the Garmin is just sending bug inputs for all the steering and navigation.
The century AP is a wing leveler with a radio coupler. I have it set to default navigation so it flies off the heading bug when I select it. When I go on the G5HSI I can override it by selecting GPSS then it will take the commands from the GNX 375.
@@kylegoeman5237 Ahhhhh I see. Ok interesting setup. I just installed 2 G5's and a GPS175 and I'm still trying to figure out what is talking to what and when. Thanks so much. Love you videos
Why is it that you do not like loading the approach through the GNX? I have replayed that part a few times, and I don’t get it. It seems like I can load an approach on the 650 iPad simulator. Is the 375 different somehow?
@@jcijr14 sorry let me clarify..the plate is the map of the approach. you need to read the plate first so you know which approach and fix to select. they are completely independent of each other on the GNX.
Yes my autopilot is only a wing leveler single access. Autopilot was on entire time until minimums through GPSS. It was a calm evening so I could control approach through power settings and little back trim.
@@kylegoeman5237 Thanks. I figured.I know that some in this situation would still go to APR mode if their single-axis autopilot's APR mode means tighter tolerances. Some do. Some don't.
@@kylegoeman5237 Thanks for the info. We just got a 375 with two G5 on our Aero Club 1969 PA-28 a few weeks ago but I hear no audio. I will have to ask around.
Just a heads up the yellow heading on the G5 with the heading bouncing around 4 degrees or so isn't normal. You probably have some sort of metal or electrical source interfering with your GMU11.
Kyle I’m thinking of the gnx 375 with the g5 hsi, like you have, my question is, I see that you can fly an RNAV in GPS mode, fine. Can you fly an ILS and switch your nav source to VOR/LOC on the G5, even though the GNX 375 is GPS only? Can you get the VOR/ LOC signal to the G5 from the SL30 that you have?
Yes. I just can't fly GPSS on the VLOC mode. But can fly off heading bug with autopilot no problem. I did the software update which you can see in this video th-cam.com/video/-WczVLl4hWI/w-d-xo.html

The “miserable” KLN89B was a great bit of it in its day…………. But like you I have replaced it.
OH BOY! That was a great video... got my 375... saving for my G5 next! And your video gave me a little more inspiration! Thank you.
Thanks so much for posting that. I have similar equipment in my Cherokee so a big help.
Jeese oh man ! That sure worked out good you betcha !

How does your 796 integrate with the 375? I’ll have the same combo soon. With one G5..
Thanks for this. I wanted to see it used with a autocontrol iii like mine. That’s how I imagined i would do the approaches

Very helpful to learn that the 375 talks to a 660.
Very nice video. Thanks for posting. 👍
Excellent review and vid, nice job.
Can I ask you for who wired up your setup here. ? I would like to get a copy of the installation wiring to the century and the G5.
nice job, don't forget to match up your heading bug (HSI) to A/C heading

Was it the autopilot or the GNX 375 that did the 500 ft audible call out on your approach?
The Area 660 is wired to the audio panel for the 500 alert.
Does the 375 have the wind correction mark up when it’s set to straight CDI page? I’ve never seen a wind correction mark on the CDI page...
I'm not sure. I know it shows in my G5 hsi
Is it legal to use area 660 for IFR approaches?
Not as primary nav. He has GNX 375 as primary. The 660 is really acting like electronic flight bag with charts digitally connected to GNXas source

You can load the approach through the GNX you can't load any plates. I use the 660 or my Garmin pilot app to load plates that are georeferenced.
Kyle Goeman So, loading plates on the 660 also loads the approach on the GNX, but the reverse is not true. Correct? Thank you!
@@jcijr14 sorry let me clarify..the plate is the map of the approach. you need to read the plate first so you know which approach and fix to select. they are completely independent of each other on the GNX.
Good informative video!
Kyle, what did all the upgrades run you? Approx.

I have added another G5 and GAD 13 and am working on GI275 EIS at the moment.
Just to confirm - your autopilot is single axis and you never left GPSS mode on the G5. Is that correct?
Yes my autopilot is only a wing leveler single access. Autopilot was on entire time until minimums through GPSS.
It was a calm evening so I could control approach through power settings and little back trim.
@@kylegoeman5237 Thanks. I figured.I know that some in this situation would still go to APR mode if their single-axis autopilot's APR mode means tighter tolerances. Some do. Some don't.
Just a quick question; I heard an audio call out of 500, Where does this call out originate, G5, GNX375, or ?
It comes from area 660
@@kylegoeman5237 Can you get the audio from the 375? Does it go through the intercom or the Bluetooth connection to the headset?
@@AeroRamer 375 is wired in audio panel.

That was almost verbatim and exact same equipment as G5 video by Over 50 and Learning to Fly.
Since I know nothing about planes,forgive the stupid …. What is g5? What is gnx 375 what is love hsi what are they used for

Hi Kyle, I'mJust setting up my new panel and I'd like to know which device alert you about "5 hundred" .feet altitude on the approach
I get my alerts off the 660 as far as approach altitude "500"
