GAD 13 / GDP 59 Pirep wanted

[vorlon1]

This is the Garmin temp probe/G5 extension. 

GAD 13 / GDP 59

If anyone here has installed one of these, could you please provide a pirep? Pics would be nice too!

TIA.

Isn’t there another thread, begun in the past week, that directly addressed this?  People posted pictures and everything.

You don't need to pay the $330 Garmin price for the probe. It's a $90 probe from Davtron.

Thanks. Missed it earlier.

@philiplane- which Davtron probe and does it work with the G5 exactly like the Garmin probe to give OAT, TAS, and winds?

Not @philiplane but I believe the IM calls out either the Davtron C307PS for $90 or the Garmin GTP 59 for $500.

Great information, thanks.  Still have to buy the GAD13 to interface with the G5, but total price is only $225 instead of $470.

What is the difference between the digital and the analog probe? And does the GAD 13 care what one it gets the data from?

Don't forget about the connector - you need to buy that separately if you're not getting the $500 kit from Garmin

GAD 13 - $130

Connector $35

Davtron probe $90.

I bought the connector and GAD from Stein when spruce was out of stock.  I'd recommend them - good people always helpful.   The Davtron probe is "spot on".

The GTP 59 is supposed to be a more accurate temperature probe but IMHO, i doubt anyone needs a 1/10 accuracy for OAT.

 

GAD 13 is well worth the install and provides as advertised:

• OAT
• Density Altitude (when the plane is on the ground - ie below a certain speed)
• Wind speed and direction on the G5 when it is in HSI configuration

 I was also pleasantly surprised to see that on my GNS 430W, I now also have the wind speed and direction displayed on the moving map. I don't think that feature is described in the G5 documentation.   My G5 is connected to the GNS430W via the Arinc 429 airdata

ps: no idea why the pictures rotated

Very happy with my GAD13.  I used the Davtron C307PS as well.  1/4 the price and I can't tell the difference.  As the poster above stated, it feeds data to the 430W.  Pretty nice to have.

Is the Davtron probe part number C307PS?  Want to make sure I order the correct part.

EDIT:  I just read in Appendix A of the G5 install manual, that is the correct part.

You got it Kevin. That's correct.
