Hi Everyone
I'm trying to work out how to use my back up G5 to give lateral and vertical guidance from my IFD440.
The G5 is a back up to my AFS5600 (an excellent system). At the moment it is a stand alone unit with no connections apart from power.
Is it possible to get an ILS/GS and or LPV display from the G5? I've looked in the G5 install manual and it looks like it will. Then I see in the user handbook that "An external navigator (i.e. GTN/GNS, GNC 255, or SL30 Nav/Comm Transceiver) must be configured to receive glideslope and/or glidepath vertical deviation indications" I don't see how that information gets back from the G5 to the IFD.
I have an AFS ARINC box. If that helps. But I'd prefer not to go through that as I want an independent back up in case of problems.
Sorry if this is a daft question. But I'm more than a bit confused.
Thanks
