1. GENERAL
1.1 APOLLO GX50/GX60/GX65 DESCRIPTION The Apollo GX50 and GX60 are TSO-C129a Class A1 GPS supplemental navigation systems with a built-in moving map graphics display. The Apollo GX65 is a TSO-C129a Class A2 GPS supplemental navigation system. The GX50/60/65 provides interfaces to a CDI/HSI, autopilot, and annuciators. The GX50/60 is capable of being authorized for IFR/VFR enroute oceanic and remote, enroute domestic, terminal, and non-precision approach operation. The GX65 is capable of being authorized for IFR/VFR enroute oceanic and remote, enroute domestic, and terminal operation. Apollo GX Systems meet all requirements for RNP-5/B-RNAV operations in accordance with FAA AC 90-96 and JAA TGL No. 2 revision 1 (or later). 1.1.1 Apollo GX50 GPS The Apollo GX50 is a GPS only unit and is powered by a single circuit breaker from the avionics bus.
Figure 1: Apollo GX50 1.1.2 Apollo GX60/65 GPS/Comm The Apollo GX60/65 includes a 760 channel VHF communications transceiver in addition to the GPS navigation functions. The comm provides a minimum of 8 watts transmit power and has an MTBF (mean time between failure) predicted far in excess of 1000 hours. If operated in the Americas, the comm receives the standard NOAA weather channels. The GX60/65 GPS/Comm is powered by separate circuit breakers for the GPS and comm functions from the avionics bus. The GX60/65 control panel interface (for both the navigation and communication functions) is powered by the GX60/65 navigation breaker.
