DrewMcKee Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 Cleaning out my garage today. Anyone interested in an ARNAV FMS5000? Quote
David Lloyd Posted December 30, 2019 Report Posted December 30, 2019 One of those was removed from my plane last week. Database was old, it was clunky to use, but it still works like the day it was built. I don't think the previous owner ever used it, probably could not figure out how. Even the manual could not get me direct anywhere. Fortunately the internet is all knowing. I think we have a matching set of doorstops. Quote
DrewMcKee Posted December 30, 2019 Author Report Posted December 30, 2019 Yep....that is what I figured....doorstop. I've been out of commission on flying for a bit; however, I used mine all the time. I even loaded in flight plans and stuff. Not the most intuitive box but it worked OK. Was yours a LORAN or LORAN/GPS? Quote

SteveHx Posted April 15, 2020 Report Posted April 15, 2020 Our flight school just purchased a plane with the FMS5000 installed. I can't figure out how to get past the "database out of date" warning to use it VFR. Hints? Quote

SteveHx Posted April 16, 2020 Report Posted April 16, 2020 Thank you for uploading that. I read all the way thru, and I think I found that it's supposed to be able to get past the warning as I would expect. I'm wondering if the keypad itself is not functioning, because none of the buttons appear to do anything. As it happens, aside from being a senior flight instructor, in my "day job" I design electronics for a living, so I have appropriate tools to work on the front panel. Thank you for the help! Quote

larrwill Posted July 22, 2020 Report Posted July 22, 2020 This post is several months old now but I would be interested in rescuing some of these from the landfill or becoming wheel chocks. Looking for parts to tinker with. Quote
orionflt Posted July 22, 2020 Report Posted July 22, 2020 I have 2-3 on the shelf, all were working Quote

I used to work for the company in Puyallup, WA (at KPLU) before they became Sagem Avionics. Great stuff at the time it was manufactured. I like looking at the "TCA" button on the front panel - before the airspace system was re-categorized into what we have today. :-) Quote

kortopates Posted March 13, 2023 Report Posted March 13, 2023 I doubt it too, but I don't even get the "why bother" with it unless someone wants it for a museum static display. Its not approved for IFR and we have such amazing VFR capabilities with an iPad and your choice of app; not to mention many more options. Quote
