Lot's of acronyms flying around in my head these days.
I currently have a GRT Sport SX with an SL30. I'm considering the addition of a GNC420 (non WAAS) for use as an IFR training platform.
The SL30 communicates via serial and works well for non-GPS approaches.
I'm not clear what an ARINC429 interface would get for me with this setup.
Will the EFIS display the full externally entered flight plan? If so, will it work with only the serial connections, or again is ARINC a requirement?
I realize that several more advanced EFIS' can do this, but I have most of the gear already installed and paid for. I'm just wondering what the limitations of the SX will be for me. Obviously I won't be able to overlay approach plates.
Thanks!
Don
