Question for the group, I have not been able to glean the answer from GRT's documentation.
I am planning out how to interface my HXr with my radios. I have two IFR GPS, a 430W as primary and a GNC 300XL as backup.
The HXr has 2 ARINC in and 1 ARINC out. I am using the built-in auto pilot.
Can I have 1 in and 1 out for the 430W and the second ARINC in for the GNC 300? This would allow me to shoot IFR approaches on the EFIS from the 300 rather than the mid-continent CDI. ARINC is needed rather than simple serial as the CDI must auto-scale. I don't care about getting air/data information from the EFIS to the 300 particularly.
Second question, my backup for the HXr is a Gemini PFD. I want to have a 3 position switch that will accept serial data from the 430, 300, or ifly unit. Can I be sending both ARINC data and serial data out simultaneously on these GPS units?
