| The Garmin® GPS155/165 TSO are the world's first
GPS receivers to be fully certified to FAA TSO-C129, Class A1 standards
for non-precision approach use, giving you the freedom and convenience
of flying IFR from takeoff to touchdown with GPS as your
navigation reference. And by flying with Garmin as your GPS source,
you've got the inherent reliability, workload-limiting features,
worldwide service and peace of mind that can only come from flying
the #1 name in general aviation GPS.
The GPS 155/165 TSO store navigation fixes for over 4,500 approaches,
from the initial fix to the missed approach holding point, while
Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM)a critical
requirement for IFR approach certificationconfirms adequate
reception of satellite signals. Both models feature a three-line
vacuum-florescent dot matrix display that provides exceptional readability
from almost any angle-even in direct sunlight. A huge Jeppesen® database
provides access to a flightcase full of navigation, communication,
airport, airspace, approach, departure and arrival route information-all
from a convenient, front-loading NavData card. These high-performance
panel mounts also store up to 1,000 user waypoints and 20 reversible
flight plans of up to 31 waypoints each. (And you can add your own
comments on up to 250 data items.)
The GPS 155 TSO is a standard 6.25-inch, Mark-width box designed
for easy rack-mounting in most light aircraft, while the GPS 165
TSO is a 5.75-inch wide "Dzus rail" compatible configuration. And they
both interface with your flight control, EFIS, HSI, moving map,
altitude encoder, fuel management, or other sophisticated systems,
while a back-up battery keeps you navigating in the event of an
electrical failure. |
