Yes, it depends on the model. For the sake of the argument I'm only talking about the capabilities of units under $1000.RedAndWhiteBaron wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 6:48 pm Would not all the above depend on the specific model and its capabilities? Or are these capabilities mandated?
75 bucks US? That’s like over 100 cad. I don’t have that kind of cash. I own a plane, man!ahramin wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 7:55 pmMaybe get someone else to price it for you. 75 USD.

Ah not sure if that usb connection will work but thanks for the offer.
For aircraft which do not have GPS data available, the unit can be interfaced with a low cost GPS data receiver, such as the Garmin GPS 18PC which is available for less than $75.00.
Doesn’t need to be; it’s not designed for airplanes, so it’s not subject to parts sourcing rules.
Choose Your Connection Type
The GPS 18 is offered in three different cable configurations. All three versions of the GPS 18 come complete with non-volatile memory for storage of configuration information, a real-time clock and raw measurement output data for sophisticated customer applications.
GPS 18 PC — has DB-9 pin serial connector with 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter; can output data in NMEA 0183 format (industry standard) or proprietary Garmin format.
GPS 18 USB — has A-style USB connector, compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 full-speed hosts; can output data in Garmin proprietary format only.
GPS 18 LVC — has bare wire for connection to a variety of applications; can output data in NMEA 0183 format (industry standard) or proprietary Garmin format; provides a pulse-per-second logic-level output with a rising edge aligned to within 1 microsecond of UTC time.
No i am VFR. Not even a VOR nav. I use Foreflight and a Sentry Gps/adsb in. Looking to do the big dollar upgrade. Gps/nav/com

It's going to be much more expensive going in small bites, you might want to save up first and get it all done in one shot. By the time you have saved the money, there may be some better cheaper stuff on the market anyway.Kejidog wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 9:23 pmNo i am VFR. Not even a VOR nav.

Mode S, new audio panel. But i want to do it in small bites and keep flying vfr while i do it. Finish with a G500 AP. Then get my IFR after all this is done. Basically a two year plan. Or longer. Had some family members needing some Finincial support. I don’t want to get too deep in debt to pay for this so i’ll do it as i can afford to. Looking to source parts in canada if i can. Install costs are fixed but avionics can perhaps be purchased used.
Long winded reply to basically a yes or no question. Into the clementine margaritas tonight
I haven’t done a CAR major/minor modification analysis for this case, but changing a part (lamp) on a plane is different to adding a part.Kejidog wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 9:29 pmPhoto,
I did see that after i looked with more than a passing glance. But wouldn’t that gps source for an elt need some sort of certification? I mean a LED bulb needs one to install in my plane I am a bit confused. I should read the cars more. I learned two things tonight.
Not true Kenji....Most 406 units including the $800 ACK unit that was linked earlier (https://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/a ... elt406.php) will accept position info from almost any of the newer Garmin handheld GPS units like the Area 660. The 660 for example has both NEMA 0183 and RS 232 outputs.While I think I that the quoted price is reasonable for that model from Aircraft Spruce. I would need a $10,000 CAD (I have priced it- with a used GPS) installed panel mount gps to send it a signal. I have no gps in my aircraft.-yet
Only an idiot would have that takeaway from my post. You seem really defensive whenever anyone speaks poorly of a 406 ELT...how come? They're obviously better than the 121.5 ones - but they're not the miracle cure you seem to think they are.
This is news to me. Okay, I stand corrected.ahramin wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 1:27 pmIncorrect. In the armed position, the GPS position sent from the aircraft avionics is constantly recorded and the last known position will be sent.AirFrame wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:00 am The 406 isn't live and logging that location all the time so it has it handy in the event of an activation. When you crash, the ELT wakes up as your panel-mount GPS dies... The antenna is gone, the plane is on fire or sinking, you've shut off all the electrics before the impact, etc. Your 406 won't get a location in that situation. The only way to ensure GPS location availability is for the GPS to be integrated with the 406.
