Garmin G5 Question TAS

[Tcraft938]

I’m curious if anyone has had a G5 or two for awhile and has done the upgrade that will give you true airspeed, wind direction and speed?  My understanding it needs something like GAD 33 installed. How hard and expensive with that?   Thanks

Sounds like you are looking for a Garmin air data computer...

Have a look around here... you may find people have discussed what you are looking for....

I think, you need an OATP-Sensor installed in addition to the air-data-computer and GPS I think, you need an OATP-Sensor installed in addition to the air-data-computer and GPS

One of my Bonanzas has it along with the rate of climb and altitude pre-select. I did not personally install it of have it installed but I do see the GAD 33 listed on my equipment list. I thought that is what they were using to couple it to the KFC 200 auto pilot,  or to couple the AHRS to the G500 so its the auto pilots primary attitude reference. I may VERY well be wrong.

If you buy the package the GAD 33 is a part of it. About $500, as I recall. Mine is still on my todo list.

I have two G5's but all I have to do is go into a page on my GTN and I can see the info with some inputs....most if not all of the inputs are already there...not sure why it cant be displayed on the G5 somehow and save 500 bucks

'Cause that's how Garmin gets you.  Great equipment, but they know how to price everything to get people to buy it.

What's a few more AMUs spent on GMUs, GDLs or any other 3 letter money grabbing abbreviation?

Garmin GAD 13 (FAA-PMA) added to the CAN-bus and a Davtron OAT probe.  About $240 plus install.  More $ if you want the Garmin OAT probe.  I have the Davtron probe and it works fine.

Exactly why when I install my G5, I’ll put in the GAD33, because, you know, it’s only an extra $500.

If it was $800, I probably wouldn’t. Garmin must have some scary algorithm that knows exactly how to price their stuff.
