WX 500 Ground track from IFD

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,  I have an IFD
540 with a G5 without a GAD29 (no Airnic 429) and want, that the WX 500
stromscope  gets the ground track from
the IFD, because the G5 does not send the heading to the IFD via RS232 (only
via Airinc). The documentation from the WX500 says, that it is possible to get
the ground track from the GNS 430. Does the IFD 540 do the same? Unfortunately
is the WX500 complete misplaced in my aircraft and I must remove the whole
WX500 in the fuselage (around 3 hrs work) to change the WX500 from Heading (xyz)
via KI525a to RS232 from the GPS. So I want to know, if it is the
work worth to change to “Heading track via RS232” (you must solder new cable
bridges in the SUB-D plus).

 Many thanks in advance
and best regards from Germany with still no speed limit on the highway (the government
decides today about a speed limit L )
