are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
g. Injunctive Relief. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this
Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached and as such, the Parties
will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the
performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement without proof of actual damages, this being in addition to
any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law or in equity.
h. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended and any provision of this Agreement may be waived,
provided that any such amendment or waiver will become and remain binding upon a Party only if such amendment or
waiver is set forth in a writing by such Party. No course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest
in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or
obligations of any Party under or by reason of this Agreement. No delay or failure in exercising any right, power or
remedy hereunder will affect or operate as a waiver thereof; nor will any single or partial exercise thereof or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy preclude any further exercise
thereof or of any other right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that any Party would otherwise have.
i. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be severable in the event that for any reason whatsoever any of the
provisions hereof are invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, any such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable
provisions will be replaced by other provisions which are as similar as possible in terms to such invalid, void or
otherwise unenforceable provisions but are valid and enforceable and the remaining provisions will remain valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in each case so as to best preserve the intention of the
Parties with respect to the benefits and obligations of this Agreement.
j. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and does not confer on third
parties any remedy, claim, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in addition to those existing without reference
to this Agreement.
k. Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between Garmin and you with respect to the
subject matter hereof and will supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings of Garmin and you of

Agreement; (b) the singular includes the plural and vice versa; (c) the words 'such as', 'including', 'particularly' and
similar expressions are not used as, nor are intended to be, interpreted as words of limitation; (d) a reference to a

body corporate; a thing includes a part of that thing; and a party includes its successors and permitted assigns; and (e)
no rule of construction applies to the disadvantage of a Party because that Party was responsible for the preparation of
this Agreement. Any translation of this Agreement from English is provided as a convenience only. If this Agreement

This installation manual is intended for use by those authorized to perform maintenance and/or avionics
installations on approved aircraft. This manual only approves the installation of the GI 275 Base (including
backup battery and backup GPS antenna), GSB 15, and GEA 24(B) (including EIS annunciator(s) and
engine sensors). Other compatible LRUs listed in Appendix C must use other installation approvals and
may require installation and/or configuration by an authorized Garmin dealer per Garmin’s installation
policy. It includes installation data and checkout procedures for the GI 275 Multi-Function Instrument and
refers to standards described in Title 14 CFR Part 43. Installation personnel must be familiar with the
contents of this manual prior to performing modifications to the aircraft.
This manual can only be used to install the Base variant of the GI 275 as an MFD and/or EIS display(s) in
Class I & II aircraft only. This manual cannot be used to install a GI 275 in aircraft considered to be
Class III or IV.
Installations of a GI 275 ADAHRS unit or ADAHRS+AP unit must use GI 275 Part 23 AML STC
Installation Manual (P/N 190-02246-10) for installation guidance.
Terms frequently used in this manual include:
• GI 275: Unless otherwise specified, refers equally to all variants of the GI 275.
• Metal aircraft: Aircraft with an aluminum (metallic) airframe, including exterior skin.
• References made to HSDB and Ethernet are used interchangeably.
• Non-metal aircraft: Aircraft with an airframe constructed from wood or composite, including
exterior skin, or aircraft with metal tubular truss airframe and fabric or composite exterior skin.
• Primary EGT: Exhaust gas temperature that is displayed independently from the exhaust gas
temperature associated with each cylinder. This is typically a probe installed downstream in the
exhaust to detect temperature from multiple cylinders. Used for EGT limitations in some aircraft.
• X: An “X” denotes variations of LRUs. Examples include:
◦ “GTN 6XX” refers to the GTN 625/635/650.
• ( ): Parenthesis denote an undetermined value. Examples include:
◦ “GI ( )” refers to GI 1, GI 2, etc. depending on the context.
• Throughout this manual references will be made to aircraft class. With regards to usage in this
manual, the classes are defined as follows:
◦ Class I: Single reciprocating engine airplane with GTOW of 6,000 lbs or less.
◦ Class II: Multi reciprocating or turbine engine airplane with GTOW of 6,000 lbs or less.
Refer to AC 23.1309-1E for more information on airplane classes.
• “GEA 24(B)” refers to both GEA 24 and GEA 24B. Specific references exclude the other variant.

1.1 STC Applicability
This manual defines aircraft modifications required to install the GI 275 Multi-Function Instrument under
the GI 275 Part 23 AML STC. It is only applicable to aircraft models listed on the Approved Model List.
Aircraft modifications per this STC involve the installation of components and LRUs specified in the STC
Equipment List, which include sensors common for engine parameters. Installation of components and
LRUs not included in the STC Equipment List require a separate airworthiness approval.
The GI 275 Multi-Function Instrument installed as an EIS display or MFD is approved for installation in
Class I & II aircraft, with certain limitations; refer to Section 2.
Applicability of this STC for a particular aircraft must be verified before the modification based on the data
contained in this manual. Some aircraft may have been modified or equipped with systems in which the
GI 275 interface is not defined nor approved. The installer must make the final determination if this STC is
applicable to a given aircraft.
The installation of the GI 275 Multi-Function Instrument in accordance with this STC is a major alteration
to the aircraft. Following a major alteration, the aircraft must be returned to service in a means acceptable
to the cognizant aviation authority. An example would be compliance with 14 CFR 43.9, 14 CFR 91.417,
and submission of an FAA Form 337 “Major Repair and Alteration Airframe, Powerplant, Propeller, or
Appliance” completed in accordance with AC43.9-1F Instructions for Completion of FAA Form 337.
Consistent with FAA Order 8110.4B and AC 21-40, a permission letter to use this STC data is available for
download from the Garmin Dealer Resource Center.

1.2 System Overview
The GI 275 is a multi-function electronic instrument display capable of operating as a standalone display.
It features a bright, sunlight readable, 3⅛-inch diameter color display that is sized to fit in a standard
instrument cutout.
The GI 275 Multi-Function Instrument can be configured as the following indicator types:
• Multi-Function Display Indicator (MFD) functions shown in Section 1.2.2.1.
• Engine Instrument System Indicator (EIS) functions shown in Section 1.2.2.2.
The following dedicated pages are available on a GI 275 MFD:
• CDI (MFD only)
• HSI
• Stormscope
• Terrain
• Moving Map
• Radar Altimeter
• Traffic
• Weather
• Transponder

The GI 275 EIS uses the GEA 24(B) and sensors to replace various engine instruments and provide
indication of engine parameters. For a single engine, a single GI 275 with multiple pages can be used;
however, all primary alerting gauges must fit on the primary gauge page.
For twin-engine EIS, each engine must have a dedicated GEA 24(B) and each engine must have separate
GI 275 indicators. Only one indicator is permitted per engine. If multiple indicators are needed to display
all primary alerting gauges, then certain existing gauges must be retained instead.
EIS units may not share a GEA 24(B) interface with a G3X system. If using a GI 275 for EIS, then the EIS
interface may only be connected and displayed on the GI 275 system, and may not be connected or
displayed on a G3X system.

Rev. 14 Page 1-9
1.2.2.2 Engine Indication System (EIS)
The GI 275 provides EIS display for four- and six-cylinder reciprocating engines. EIS does not include
turbine engines. An EIS installation consists of one GEA 24(B) per engine and one GI 275 per engine.
The EIS display can drive caution and warning lights that may be required for installation when the
indicator is not installed in the primary field-of-view.
The EIS display collects powerplant data and utilizes an automatic monitoring system that interprets and
reports the data to the pilot in the form of an alert. The crew can acknowledge the alert, which prompts the
indicator to display page one, which contains the data parameter in question. This reduces the amount of
information displayed at a given time to the crew, allowing the EIS indicator to work for the pilot by
monitoring engine data and notifying the crew with an alert.
The EIS has the capability to configure up to five pages. Each configured parameter with alerting markings
on page one is tied to an alert that will be displayed across the bottom of the screen when an exceedance
occurs. Additionally, critical performance data is displayed on every page: fuel quantity, RPM, and if
applicable, manifold pressure.
GI 275 with EIS offers three aircraft timers: Flight Hours, Hobbs Timer, and Tach Timer. Flight Hours
accrue in-air, as the status is derived from weight-on-wheels, GPS speed, or engine RPM. The Hobbs
Timer is activated by engine oil pressure (was Engine Time in software v2.11 or earlier). Tach Time
(software v2.20 or later) accrues relative to engine cruise RPM.
In addition to this section, the following sections provide information that must be considered for EIS
installations:
• Section 2.1.3 - EIS limitations.
• Section 3.2.2 - Minimum EIS requirements and available EIS gauges.
• Section 3.4.2 - Sensor selection criteria.
• Section 5.7.4.2 - Gauge markings and configuration requirements.
• Appendix Section C.12 - Approved sensor interface or installation, includes configuration.
• Appendix D - Model-Specific Info to determine if a Fuel Pressure Test is required.
• Appendix E - EIS gauge layouts.

1.3 Equipment
Equipment installed by this STC is grouped into three categories:
1. Display Sensors
2. Engine Sensors
3. Other Equipment

1.3.1 Display Sensors


1.3.1.1 VFR GPS
The GI 275 contains a VFR GPS that can be used as a backup GPS or as a restricted primary GPS source.

NOTE
Credit is not taken for the GI 275 internal GPS for GPS navigation (NAV) in IFR flight;
the equipment and operational requirements for IFR must be met by other navigation
source(s) in the aircraft.

The VFR GPS will be capable of displaying moving map functions depicting ownship position, velocity,
ground speed, ground track, traffic overlay, weather, Stormscope, and direct-to only functions in certain
instances.
The internal VFR GPS interfaces to a glareshield-mounted GPS antenna, which can be used in the event of
a failure of the primary GPS source or to provide VFR only situational information. Only one VFR GPS
antenna is needed for all GI 275s. The GPS data will be used by the interfacing GI 275 and it will forward
the data to any GI 275 configured to receive the data.

Figure 1-6 VFR GPS Antenna

1.3.1.2 GTP 59
The GTP 59 Outside Air Temperature (OAT) Probe is a remote-mounted sensor that interfaces to a GEA
for OAT display. OAT is used to produce supplemental percent power for the powerplant on EIS units.
When interfaced to a GEA, only Total Air Temperature (TAT) is displayed as “OAT (EIS)”.

Rev. 14 Page 2-1
2.1 Installation Limitations
2.1.1 System
Only the equipment or aircraft systems with interface(s) approved by this STC can be connected to the
GI 275. Installation of equipment that is not on the STC Equipment List but is interfaced to a GI 275
requires separate airworthiness approval.
Configuration and number of GI 275 displays installed under this STC is limited to a maximum of:
• Six displays total.
• Two EIS displays.

CAUTION
The total weight of new equipment installed in the instrument panel must not exceed the total
weight of equipment removed from the panel, unless the total weight of all the equipment installed
in the instrument panel is within the weight limits established by the aircraft manufacturer.

2.1.2 General Installation


The GI 275 is designed to replace existing 3⅛-inch gauges. Therefore, minimum modification of the panel
will be necessary.
For GI 275 system components that are mounted outside the pressure vessel of pressurized aircraft, wires
that penetrate the pressure vessel must use aircraft type design provisions such as spare pins in existing
bulkhead connectors or existing cutouts in the aircraft pressure bulkheads. Substantiation for additional
holes or cutouts in the aircraft pressure vessel are beyond the scope of the GI 275 AML STC and require
separate airworthiness approval.

2.1.3 EIS
The existing engine gauges can be replaced by an EIS display only if the functionality, markings, and
operational limits of the original gauges are capable of being replicated on the EIS display. The original
gauge must not be removed if any operating parameter, marking, or annunciation required by aircraft type
design, engine type design, or aircraft POH/AFM (or similar) cannot be replicated on the display or an
appropriate placard cannot be installed.
GI 275 EIS is limited to one EIS display for single-engine aircraft and one EIS display per engine for
twin-engine aircraft. In twin-engine aircraft with two GI 275 EIS displays and a GI 275 MFD, the Fuel
page is the only EIS page approved to be displayed on the MFD. All other EIS pages must be disabled on
the MFD.
EIS is only approved for air-cooled 4- and 6-cylinder reciprocating engine equipped aircraft. Select aircraft
models on the AML have EIS limitations. Refer to notes in Table D-1.
All gauges with red and/or yellow markings, if intended to be replaced by a GI 275 EIS display, must be
identically configured on the Main EIS page. In some cases, one GI 275 will not have enough available
spaces for gauges on the Main EIS page. Any of the following cases will require the retention of the
original gauge(s):
• Three or more of the following gauges have red or yellow marks: Fuel Flow, Fuel Pressure, CDT,
IAT, Carb Temp, and CDT/IAT Diff.
• Two of the following gauges have red or yellow marks: Fuel Flow, Fuel Pressure, CDT, IAT, Carb
Temp, and CDT/IAT Diff, and one of the following is true:

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 2-2
◦ Dual Aux Fuel Tanks are configured and one or more electrical gauges have a red or yellow
marking.
◦ A Single Aux Fuel Tank is configured and two or more electrical gauges have a red or
yellow marking.
• Three or more electrical gauges have a red or yellow marking.
The Main EIS page can display up to four strip gauges along with a CHT/EGT/TIT graph and two digital
readout gauges. Refer to Section 5.7.4 and Appendix E for more information on gauge layout
requirements.
If an oil temperature, oil pressure, or fuel pressure sensor is being replaced, the GI 275 sensor must use the
same port(s) as the original sensor, unless otherwise specified.
The GI 275 EIS does not currently support aircraft with:
• Turbine engines.
• Radial engines.
• Engines with FADEC or electronic ignition systems.
• CDT, IAT, DIFF engine indications for more than one inter-cooler per engine.
• Indications for more than two ammeters per engine (alternator amps, battery charge/discharge).
• Indications for more than two voltmeters per engine (bus volts, battery volts).
• Engine turbochargers that have an oil system separate from the engine oil system and have
turbocharger oil pressure or temperature gauge(s).
The Prop Sync Wheel is limited to conventional twin-engine aircraft and prohibited in centerline thrust
aircraft (e.g., Cessna Skymaster).
Percent Power display is prohibited from replacing the Cirrus SR22 horsepower display in all models
where the existing horsepower gauge is used to control the engine per the POH.

2.1.3.1 Engine Adapter


Only one engine adapter per engine may be installed.
GEA 24(B) installations are limited to single and twin reciprocating engine aircraft with a gross takeoff
weight of 6,000 lbs or less and a service ceiling of 32,000 feet or less (Class I & II). The GEA 24(B) must
be mounted remotely and cannot be installed within the engine compartment or areas with water or fluids.
The GEA 24(B) cannot be interfaced to resistive fuel quantity floats in twin-engine aircraft (i.e., Class II)
in some installations. Refer to the aircraft model notes in Table D-1.
EIS units may not share a GEA 24(B) interface with a G3X system. If using a GI 275 for EIS, then the EIS
interface may only be connected and displayed on the GI 275 system, and may not be connected or
displayed on a G3X system.

2.1.3.2 Pressure Sensors


Brass body pressure sensors are not approved for installation in aircraft that have an operational ceiling
greater than 32,000 feet. Refer to Table C-13 for part numbers.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 2-3
2.1.4 VFR GPS
The VFR GPS can be used with an installed glare shield antenna as a backup GPS source or in an aircraft
without a primary GPS source. If the aircraft is IFR rated, the aircraft must maintain its equipment for IFR
requirements (i.e., NAV sources). The display of primary VFR GPS is for situational awareness only and is
not approved for IFR navigation credit.

2.1.5 USB Connection


Each installed GI 275 unit must have a dedicated USB connection. This can be accomplished with either
the USB pigtail (P/N 325-00238-02) that is included in each GI 275 connector kit or with the optional
GSB 15.
The USB pigtail is for maintenance purposes only and is prohibited from being used while in-flight. The
USB pigtail must be capped and stowed prior to returning the aircraft to service. The GSB 15 is capable of
powering PEDs using its USB ports while in-flight.

2.1.6 Part 121/135 Operations


Single-engine aircraft operated under 14 CFR Part 135 must have two independent electrical sources or a
standby battery or generator/alternator capable of supplying 150% of the electrical loads of all required
instruments and equipment necessary for safe emergency operations of the aircraft for 60 minutes in
accordance with 135.163(f).
For multi-engine aircraft operated under 14 CFR Part 135, the electrical load of all required instruments
and equipment necessary for emergency operations must not be greater than one-half of the total generated
power in accordance with 14 CFR 135.163(g).

2.1.7 VHF HSI


Unless the aircraft is placarded VFR Only, the GI 275 MFD must be configured to hide the HSI page when
the GI 275 is connected to a VHF NAV source. The CDI page may be used for VHF NAV.

2.1.8 Transponder Control


The Transponder Control function is only provided when the GI 275 is interfaced to a GTX 345 series

3.2 GI 275 Installation Requirements
This section provides installation requirements for the GI 275 system.

3.2.1 Power Distribution


GI 275 LRUs cannot share circuit breakers or ground return wires with each other or with other equipment.
For the purpose of the GI 275 system installation, the “essential bus” is a bus that receives power when the
battery master is switched on and is not automatically shed with the loss of a generator or alternator. Power
distribution requirements are summarized in Table 3-8.

Table 3-8 Power Distribution


LRU BUS Requirement
MFD • Avionics bus.
• No. 1 EIS display on essential bus.
• No. 2 EIS display on essential bus.
EIS Display • If dual essential buses are available, connect each EIS display to a separate
essential bus.
• No. 1 GEA 24(B) on essential bus.
• No. 2 GEA 24(B) on essential bus.
GEA 24(B) • If dual essential buses are available, connect each GEA 24(B) to a separate
essential bus.
• If connected to a GI 275, it is recommended to connect the GSB 15 to same
GSB 15 bus as GI 275 to ensure the GSB 15 is powered on with the GI 275.
• If not connected to a GI 275, connect GSB 15 to avionics bus.

3.2.2 Engine Indication System (EIS)
Installation of the EIS must maintain compliance with the minimum number of gauges required by
14 CFR 91.205 for the type of flight allowed by the aircraft’s Type Certificate. The following must be
considered for an EIS installation:

CAUTION
Engine damage may occur if length of oil temperature probe is incorrect. Refer to Section 4.6.3.

1. Only install EIS in aircraft that comply with all limitations in Section 2.1.3.
2. Engine RPM, Oil Temperature, Oil Pressure, EGT, CHT, and Manifold Pressure (if installed) must
be displayed on the EIS.
3. Optional EIS gauges listed in Table 3-12 that are not currently installed in the aircraft may be
added as approved in this STC.
4. No indication/parameter on the EIS display(s) can be duplicated by any other installed indicator
that is not connected to the GEA.
5. Ensure engine sensors can be installed and the corresponding gauges can be displayed. Refer to
Appendix E, Table 3-11, and Table 3-12 for gauge layout information. Depending on the number
of gauges, a second EIS display may be required (only permitted in single-engine aircraft). Refer
to Section 2.1.3.
6. Some turbocharged aircraft require a differential pressure sensor for fuel pressure. This STC
provides electrical interface for select differential pressure sensors (refer to Appendix Section
C.12); however, installation approval is not provided and must be obtained separately
7. Do not replace an existing gauge if the GI 275 will not provide the functions and markings
required by the POH/AFM, TCDS, or other aircraft model-specific data. Refer to Section 5.7.4.2
for available EIS gauge markings. If the EIS gauges cannot be configured as noted in the POH/
AFM, the installation does not qualify for EIS unless alternate airworthiness approval is obtained.
8. Annunciator lights, including alternator/generator annunciators operated by a sensor or switch
independent of the existing gauge, must remain operative and independent from the GI 275 EIS. If
an annunciator is operated by a gauge that might be replaced by the GI 275 EIS, the associated
annunciator can be deactivated only if the GI 275 Caution/Warning alert activates for the same
condition as the original annunciator. The GI 275 Caution/Warning alert is provided on the display
or an independent annunciator. However, if the new GI 275 EIS gauge does not support a Caution/
Warning alert for the same condition, the existing gauge and annunciator must remain installed.
9. If an annunciator is replaced by the GI 275 EIS display, deactivate the existing annunciator so it
does not illuminate and then install a placard over the deactivated lens or as close as practical
within view of the pilot that states: “X ANNUN DISABLD”, with “X” being the deactivated
annunciator(s). Modification of the existing annunciator panel is outside the scope of this STC.
10. All placards that were associated with any/all gauges being replaced (non-limitation data) must
remain in the proximity of the EIS display.
11. Reused sensors must function through the sensor’s entire range. For example, fuel tank floats may
have worn resistive elements that will result in performance issues with the gauge display.
12. If the aircraft POH or AFM has a fuel flow limit (i.e., red line), the installer must verify fuel flow
accuracy ±10% of the full scale range and adjust the K-Factor if necessary. Obtain the correct fuel
flow value using the engine or aircraft manufacturer manuals. If that data is not available, perform
a pre-installation static RPM ground check and document the pre-installation fuel flow using the
existing fuel flow indicator. Refer to Section 6.8.2 for post-installation K-Factor adjustment.
13. A single display that is a standalone EIS allows for the GPS connection to be optional. Standalone
EIS displays that do not have a GPS source connected will display dashes (---) for Fuel Endurance.

Percent Power [3] Power cannot be configured on the Main EIS page if a
Prop Sync Wheel is shown on the other EIS gauge.
Percent Power can be configured on the Aux EIS page if
a Prop Sync is present.
Notes:
[1] Gauges in this table are required if the existing aircraft gauge had colored markings, alerts, and/or
associated POH/AFM limitations. If the number or required gauges exceeds the available space
on the display, a second primary EIS display is required. Refer to Appendix E for gauge layouts.
[2] Primary EGT and TIT cannot both be indicated on the GI 275. Only one TIT or Primary
EGT sensor can be displayed on the GI 275 EIS.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 3-9
[3] If there is an existing percent power gauge with colored markings, alerts, and/or associated POH/
AFM limitations, then the existing percent power gauge must be retained and percent power must
not be configured or displayed on the GI 275.
All EIS sensors approved to interface with the GI 275 are listed in Appendix Section C.12.
Compare the range, markings, and colors in Table 3-13 to the required aircraft parameters. Ensure sensor
range is wide enough for each planned gauge. This STC requires that all lines/ranges that are red or yellow
generate an alert. Blue, green, and white markings do not generate alerts. If there was no alert associated
with the red or yellow line/radials on the original gauge, this STC approves the addition of an alert to the
associated line/radial.
The sensor ranges in Table 3-13 are only for reference to help determine if EIS is compatible with the
aircraft; specific approved sensors may have different ranges than those shown. If an aircraft gauge has
markings outside the available sensor range, but the sensor range includes all limits for the gauge specified
by the POH/AFM, TCDS, or other aircraft model-specific data, the gauge may be replaced by the GI 275
EIS per this STC.

The following steps/figures are used to guide in making HSDB connections (not all possibilities are
included):
1. When multiple GI 275 indicators are installed, they must be connected to each other directly in
series.
2. The GTN 6XX/7XX, GTN Xi, GPS 175, GNX 375, or GNC 355, if installed, must be connected
directly to a GI 275.
3. LRUs not installed under this STC must still meet the installation requirements that are applicable
to those LRUs.
4. Choose the figure that most closely represents the aircraft’s equipment and cross out any LRUs not
installed. Apply the rules above to complete the HSDB connections, if necessary.
5. It is acceptable to connect GI 275 units with other Garmin LRUs using redundant HSDB paths if
there are enough available HSDB ports. Redundant HSDB connections provide extra data paths in
case of LRU failure. Refer to Figure 3-2 for an example.

3.3 Interfaces to Other Equipment
Information in this section provides details for interfacing to equipment not installed by the GI 275 STC.
The information provided must be reviewed when these interfaces are considered.

3.3.1 GPS Source


The GI 275 has a built-in VFR GPS source that can be used with the backup GPS antenna installed. Up to
two additional external GPS sources can be interfaced to the GI 275.

3.3.2 Navigation Receiver


The GI 275 display uses data from a navigation receiver to display VOR and ILS information on the HSI
page. Up to two independent navigation receivers can be interfaced to a display. The third-party composite
NAV connection must be directly connected to a GI 275 display when present.

3.3.3 Radar Altimeter


The GI 275 can receive data from a digital radar altimeter system to provide the display of radar altitude.
The display can also be configured to allow for the initiation of the radar altimeter self-test for certain radar
altimeter models. Radar altimeters must be wired to a discrete output from the GI 275 to enable self-test.

3.3.4 Traffic
The GI 275 can receive data from an ADS-B/TIS/TAS/TCAS I traffic system to display traffic.

3.3.4.1 TIS-A
Traffic Information Service-equipped aircraft receive limited traffic information from nearby ground radar
uplinks. The GI 275 can interface with a GTX 33X to provide TIS-A. The traffic data can be crossfilled to
display on other GI 275 units.

3.3.4.2 TAS / TCAS


The GI 275 can interface with a number of traffic sources that function as Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS)
or Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS). The traffic data can be crossfilled to display on
other GI 275 units.

3.3.4.3 TIS-B / FIS-B / ADS-B


TIS-B/FIS-B/ADS-B In-equipped aircraft receive traffic information from nearby ADS-B ground stations
and ADS-B Out-equipped aircraft. The GI 275 can receive and display weather and traffic services with
compatible equipment installed. The traffic data can be displayed on all GI 275 units capable of displaying
traffic data. Refer to Appendix Section C.7 for compatible equipment.

3.3.5 Data Link


The GI 275 can interface to a GDL 69/69A SXM to receive SiriusXM weather service with a valid
subscription. It does not provide control for music.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 3-14
3.3.6 WX-500 Stormscope®
The GI 275 can receive data from a WX-500 Stormscope® system to provide the display of lightning data.
The GI 275 cannot be used to control the Stormscope® system. A controlling display (e.g., GDU 620,
GDU 700/1060, GTN 6XX/7XX, or GTN Xi) must be present in the system to display Stormscope data on
the GI 275.

3.3.7 Audio Panel


The GI 275 can be interfaced to an audio panel for audio alerting. An interfaced audio panel cannot be
controlled via the GI 275.

3.3.8 Transponder Control


The GI 275 can interface to GTX 345 series transponders to provide a Transponder Control page when
configured as an MFD. This allows the GI 275 to control transponder code, the IDENT function, and the
mode of operation for up to two interfaced GTX 345 transponders.

3.3.9 External TAWS


Only one TAWS that generates aural and visual annunciations is permitted in the aircraft. If the aircraft has
a TAWS installed, the GI 275 must be configured to prevent conflicting aural and visual annunciations.
Combinations of external TAWS sources, GI 275 settings, and the resulting alert sources are shown in
Table 3-15.
The GI 275 provides the terrain alerting from the GTN 6XX/7XX, GTN Xi, or GNS 400W/500W;
however, the GI 275 does not provide all of the necessary annunciations and therefore the GTN 6XX/7XX,
GTN Xi, or GNS 400W/500W may still require an external TAWS annunciator panel.

Rev. 14 Page 3-17
3.4.2 EIS Equipment
A GEA 24(B) is required for each aircraft engine if EIS is installed. EIS sensor options and configurations
are presented in Appendix Section C.12. Select the sensors required to support the EIS gauges determined
in Section 3.2.2. Specific sensors are discussed below.

1. EGT/TIT and CHT


The number of probes required for aircraft installation is shown in Table 3-18. The Primary EGT/TIT
and CHT indication, if applicable, must be retained. The primary EGT/TIT probe can be changed, but
the installed location must remain the same.

Table 3-18 EGT and CHT Probe Quantity


Aircraft Engines Single Twin
Cylinders per engine 4 6 4 6
EGT 4 6 8 12
PROBE QTY CHT 4 6 8 12
PRIMARY AS REQUIRED

All thermocouple lead wires must match the thermocouple type (K- or J-Type). Do not crimp
connector pins to a single-strand thermocouple wire, as the wire is too thick; only use a multi-strand
lead wire for connector pins. Copper wire must never be used for thermocouples.

2. Oil Pressure Sensor


Select the most suitable sensor from Table C-13.

3. Oil Temperature Sensor


Use the engine manufacturer’s guidance for probe length/location.

CAUTION
Ensure the oil temperature probe is the correct length. Installation of the incorrect probe
may result in engine damage.

4. Manifold Pressure Sensor


Select the most suitable sensor from Table C-13.

5. Fuel Pressure Sensor


Select the most suitable sensor from Table C-13.
Some fuel injected engines use a fuel pressure sensor to indicate fuel flow. This STC requires that
when replacing such a sensor, individual EIS sensors for both fuel flow and fuel pressure must be
installed.
Some turbocharged aircraft use a differential pressure sensor. Refer to Section 3.2.2 for more
information.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 3-18
6. Fuel Quantity Sensor
The fuel quantity sensors must be either resistive float sensors with a resistance range between
25-620 Ω or CiES CC Series Fuel Senders. It is permissible to re-use existing fuel quantity wiring.
Extension splices are permissible. This STC does not approve alteration of the fuel tank wiring, fuel
tank equipment, or grounding provisions for the fuel system. For resistive fuel quantity sensors, the
maximum resistance of the tank must be no more than 620Ω, and the resistive range from full to empty
must be at least 25Ω.
For resistive float sensors interfaced to a GEA 24, parallel resistors spliced from the fuel excitation pin
are required, and the sensor configuration must be set as 0-5 Volt sensors. For new installations of a
GEA 24B, use a direct connection to the resistive fuel floats and set the sensor configuration to
“0-620ohm”. If replacing a GEA 24 with a GEA 24B, use the original parallel resistor wiring and set
the sensor configuraton to “0-5 Volt”. A new fuel quantity calibration must be conducted when a
GEA 24 is replaced by a GEA 24B (refer to Section 5.7.5).
Refer to Appendix B for wiring diagrams and Appendix C for compatible part numbers. All CiES CC
Series Fuel Quantity Senders approved in STC SA02511SE are compatible.

7. Fuel Flow Sensor(s)


Select a fuel flow sensor that is approved under this STC listed in Appendix Section C.12 and suitable
for the engine horsepower and aircraft fuel supply type:
i. Electronics International FT-60 (Red Cube) - For aircraft with up to 350 HP and an engine-
driven fuel pump.
ii. Electronics International FT-90 (Gold Cube) - For aircraft with 350-550 HP or with gravity-
fed fuel systems.
The fuel flow sensor will introduce a small pressure drop. Refer to Appendix D to determine if a fuel
pressure test is required for a specific aircraft model. If required, the installer must perform the
Minimum Inlet Pressure Test as documented in AC 23-16 to ensure the minimum inlet fuel pressure
and a safety margin are available. Refer to AC 23-16, paragraph 23.955(a) for additional information
and procedures. If the AFM/POH has an operating limitation based only on fuel flow, the fuel flow
must be accurate within 10% to ensure the limitation is maintained. Refer to Section 6.5.3.6 for the
fuel flow check procedure, if it is required.

8. RPM Sensor
Methods for RPM sensing appropriate to the engine should be selected as follows:
1. P-lead sensor – One per magneto or two per dual magneto. Resistors must be installed in
accordance with Figure B-6.
2. Magneto vent mounted sensor – Not compatible with geared engines. One sensor for each
engine on non-pressurized magnetos only (e.g., Bendix -20, -21, -200, 1200 series, and Slick
6000, 4000 series).

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 3-19
9. Shunt
Compatible shunts are listed in Appendix Section C.12. The EIS configuration setting must match the
shunt rating and type. The shunt rating is the maximum current and is typically marked on the shunt.
The type is the voltage between the shunt posts at maximum current rating. The shunt rating and type
may also be found in the aircraft data.
If the shunt rating cannot be determined by part markings or the aircraft data, the following procedure
may be used for 50 mV shunts:
1. With the aircraft power ON, no ground-power applied, and a minimal electrical load ON,
measure the millivolts between the shunt terminals using a calibrated voltmeter. Record the
millivolt measurement (V1).
2. Apply an electrical load (L1) as follows:
a. If an alternator load meter is installed, the shunt will measure the charging current from
the alternator to the main bus. With the engine running, apply an electrical load and
measure the current (L1) from the alternator using a calibrated ammeter. Measure and
record the new shunt millivolt value (V2).
b. If a battery ammeter is installed, the shunt will measure the current from the battery to the
main bus. Without the engine running, apply an electrical load and measure the current
(L1) from the battery using a calibrated ammeter. Measure and record the new shunt
millivolt value (V2).
3. Record the millivolt change (Vchange) between steps 1 and 2. Vchange = V2 - V1.
4. Determine the shunt rating using the following calculation.
L1 (Amps) x 50mV
Shunt Rating (Amps) =
Vchange (mV)

If the shunt value cannot be determined, retain the existing gauge(s) or install an appropriately rated
compatible 50 mV shunt. Shunt installation is outside the scope of this STC and must be approved
using other means.

10. OAT
For standalone EIS installations that display horsepower but do not have an air data computer in the
system, an OAT probe can be connected to the GEA 24(B) as an EIS sensor. Refer to Appendix
Section C.12 for sensor compatibility.

11. Remote Aircraft Status


For installations with a GDL 60 that wish to utilize the Remote Aircraft Status feature, a number of
relay assemblies will need to be installed. A relay assembly consists of a relay socket, a relay bracket,
and a relay. Refer to Section 3.1.2 for part numbers. Refer to Figure B-29 for specific interconnect
drawings.

NOTE
It is recommended to connect an OAT probe directly to the GEA if it is desired to receive
Air Temperature data as part of the Remote Aircraft Status.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 3-20
3.5 Electrical Load Analysis
An Electrical Load Analysis (ELA) must be completed before the GI 275 is installed to verify that the
aircraft electrical system is adequate. The purpose of the ELA is to show compliance with 14 CFR 23.1351
and 23.1353(h) by demonstrating that the maximum electrical system demand does not exceed 80% of the
alternator data plate rating and the aircraft battery is capable of providing electrical power to equipment
essential for continued safe flight and landing in the event of a complete loss of the primary electrical
system. Satisfactory completion of the ELA must be recorded on FAA Form 337.

NOTE
Certain operating requirements (e.g., 14 CFR Part 135) may impose additional requirements in
the event of electrical power loss. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the aircraft meets
the additional requirements if used for these operations.

Typical current draw of all GI 275 system components is summarized in Table 3-19.

Table 3-19 LRU Current Draw


Current Draw
LRU 14V System 28V System
Typical Maximum Typical Maximum
GI 275 Base (without battery) 0.65 A 0.75 A 0.32 A 0.40 A
GI 275 Base (with battery) 0.65 A 1.70 A 0.32 A 0.80 A
GEA 24(B) 0.20 A 0.40 A 0.10 A 0.20 A

Varies 2.86 A Varies 1.43 A
(charging from both ports)
GSB 15 Type-A & C and Dual Type-C
Varies 4.86 A Varies 2.43 A
(charging from both ports)

Net change to the electrical load with the GI 275 installed must be determined. Net decrease in electrical
load requires no further analysis, assuming that the electrical system is within limits. This is likely to occur
when existing equipment is removed or older systems are replaced with newer equipment that requires less
power to operate. The amended electrical load calculation documenting load reduction should be filed with
other aircraft permanent records. A sample net electrical load calculation is shown for a 14V aircraft in
Table 3-20.

A complete Electrical Load Analysis must be performed to show adequate capacity of the alternator/
generator if the electrical load is increased with GI 275 installed. ASTM F 2490-05 Standard Guide for
Aircraft Electrical Load and Power Source Capacity Analysis offers guidance on preparing an ELA.
Alternatively, electrical loads under different operating conditions can be measured (refer to Section 3.5.1).

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 3-21
3.5.1 Measurement of Electrical Loads
It must be shown that the maximum electrical demand for each alternator does not exceed 80% of the
alternator data plate rating. Discussed in this section is the ELA for a single alternator/single battery
electrical system determined by load measurement. It must be modified accordingly for aircraft with
multiple batteries or alternators. During measurement, applied electrical system loads must account for
combinations and durations for probable aircraft operations.

NOTE
Circuits must be protected and LRU circuit breaker ratings must meet specifications in Section 3.2.
Additionally, follow guidelines in AC 43.13-1B, Chapter 11, Section 4.

CAUTION
To avoid damage to equipment, the ammeter must be capable of handling the anticipated load.

The current measurement is best accomplished with an in-circuit or clamp-on calibrated ammeter with
0.5 A or better precision. Continuous rate, as indicated on the alternator and the battery data plate/
nameplate, must be noted.
1. The tabulated form provided in Figure 3-5 can be used to compile a list of electrical loads on the
aircraft. Typically, the list is comprised of existing circuit breakers and circuit breaker switches as
shown by the example in Figure 3-6. Continuous (e.g., GPS) or intermittent (e.g., stall warning
horn, landing gear) loads must be identified.
2. Use the worst-case flight condition and identify which phase of flight each particular load is used
in for normal flight operation. Certain loads are mutually exclusive and will not be turned on at the
same time (e.g., pitot heat and air conditioning). Use only the worst-case load conditions for each
phase of flight.

NOTE
Normal operation is when the primary electrical power generating system is operating
normally. Emergency operation is when the primary electrical power generating system is
inoperative.

3. Use the worst-case flight condition and identify which phase of flight each load is used in for
emergency flight operation. At a minimum, the list of equipment must include:
a. PFD
b. AHRS #1
c. ADC #1
d. GI 275 EIS (if applicable)
e. COM radio #1
f. GPS #1
g. Audio panel [1]
h. Stall warning system (if applicable)
i. Pitot heat
j. Landing light (switched on during landing only)
k. Instrument panel lighting
l. Landing gear indication lights
m. Navigation lights
n. Strobe lights

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 3-22
Notes:
[1] If the landing gear warning or stall warning audio requires the audio panel, then the audio
panel must be included; otherwise, the audio panel is not essential for continued safe
flight/landing and may be omitted.

CAUTION
The pitot heat must be switched on long enough to take the current measurement and then
switched off. Since the pitot probe may get hot, ensure the probe cover is removed. Care
must be taken to avoid burns or damage to the unit.
4. The ammeter must be connected in line between the external power source and the master relay
circuit, as shown in Figure 3-4. This will eliminate errors due to the charging current drawn by the
battery.

5. With all circuit breakers closed, external power must be applied to the aircraft and voltage set to
the nominal alternator voltage (usually 13.8 VDC or 27.5 VDC).
6. The battery master switch must be turned on. Do not measure intermittent electrical loads. It is
assumed if any additional current is required beyond the alternator capability, this short-duration
demand will be supplied by the battery.
7. The following lighting settings must applied during the entire electrical load measurement:
a. All instrument panel and flood lights set to maximum brightness.
b. The GI 275 backlight set to 50% brightness.
c. All other backlit displays, including GPS navigator, set to 50% brightness.
8. Switch on all continuous electrical loads that are used for the taxiing phase of flight and record the
current that is measured by the ammeter (tabulated ELA form in column 1, Figure 3-5). The
autopilot circuit breaker must be closed, but the autopilot must not be engaged during the
measurement.
9. Switch on all continuous electrical loads that are used for the normal takeoff/landing phase of
flight and record the current that is measured by the ammeter (tabulated ELA form in column 2,
Figure 3-5). Measurements must be taken with the landing lights ON and OFF. The autopilot
circuit breaker must be closed and the autopilot must be engaged.
10. Switch on all continuous electrical loads that are used for the normal cruise phase of flight and
record the current that is measured by the ammeter (tabulated ELA form column 3, Figure 3-5).
The autopilot circuit breaker must be closed and the autopilot must be engaged.
11. Switch on all continuous electrical loads that are used for the emergency cruise phase of flight and
record the current that is measured by the ammeter (tabulated ELA form column 4, Figure 3-5).
Measurements must be taken with the landing lights ON and OFF.
12. Switch on all continuous electrical loads that are used for the emergency landing phase of flight
and record the current that is measured by the ammeter (tabulated ELA form column 5,
Figure 3-5). Measurements must be taken with the landing lights ON and OFF.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 3-23
The aircraft electrical system is capable of supporting the GI 275 system if the maximum electrical system
demand, as documented on the tabulated ELA form, does not exceed 80% of the alternator capacity. It is
permissible for the electrical load to exceed 80% of the alternator capacity when the pitot heat and landing
light are both switched on during the takeoff/landing phase of flight. In this case, the electrical load must
not exceed 95% of the alternator capacity. If the pitot heat is on and the landing light is off, the electrical
load may not exceed 80% of the alternator capacity.

NOTE
The Electrical Load Analysis for this installation is only valid for modifications performed
under this STC. Subsequent changes to the aircraft electrical system will require a new
load analysis.

3.5.2 Battery Capacity Analysis

NOTE
A Battery Capacity Analysis is not required if only installing the GI 275 as an MFD.

The capacity of the aircraft battery must be verified if the GI 275 installation increases the electrical load
on the system. The capacity of the existing battery is adequate if it supports loads essential to the continued
safe flight and landing for a minimum of 30 minutes. For aircraft with a maximum service ceiling greater
than 25,000 feet and certified with FAR 23.1353(h) at amendment 23.62, the battery must support
60 minutes of continued safe flight. Otherwise, the battery must be replaced with a battery that has
sufficient capacity.
Refer to ASTM F 2490-05 Standard Guide for Aircraft Electrical Load and Power Source Capacity
Analysis for more information.
Verification of the battery capacity can be accomplished following these steps:
1. Battery Capacity (de-rated) – 75% of the battery capacity (as indicated on battery nameplate) is
assumed available (this value has units of Amp Hrs). Ensure the value is converted to Amp Mins.
2. Normal Operation Load – Worst-case cruise condition (cruise at night) during normal operation
is assumed with 5 minutes given to the pilot to shed non-essential loads. Any automatic load
shedding can be considered immediate and does not need to be considered in the calculations.
Multiply the normal operation load (Amps) by t1 (mins) [t1 = 5 min].
3. Emergency Landing Load – Electric load during the approach and landing with failed generator/
alternator. This load is assumed to drain the battery for 10 minutes and needs to be determined.
Multiply the emergency landing operation load (Amps) by t2 (mins) [t2 = 10 min].
4. Emergency Cruise Load – Minimum load necessary to maintain flight in cruise after the
generator/alternator has failed needs to be determined.
The following equation determines the battery capacity for emergency cruise expressed as time (t3):
Battery Capacity - Normal Operation - Emergency Landing (1) - (2) - (3)
t3 = =
Emergency Cruise Load (4)
The duration of the entire emergency flight on battery power is:
t = t1 + t2 + t3
t = 5 min + 10 min + t3
t = 15 min + t3

Rev. 14 Page 4-1
4.1 Wire Routing and Installation
GI 275 LRU connector definitions and pin functions are defined in Appendix A. System installation
requires fabrication of electrical wire harnesses. When fabricating and installing each harness:
• Reference the aircraft manufacturer (electrical) standard practices manual and equipment
manufacturer documentation for guidance on wire type, gauge, routing, and wire identification.
Methods, techniques, and practices defined in AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11, Aircraft Electrical
Systems, are acceptable.
• Refer to the equipment manufacturer for any specific shield requirements, or follow general
practices and guidance in this manual if none exist.
• For all existing wiring that is overbraided, the overbraid must be maintained and include the new
wire added between the GI 275 and the existing system. It is acceptable to install new overbraid
containing the new wire provided the existing wire and overbraid routing is maintained. The
overbraid should be terminated in the same or better manner at each connector. If pigtails are used,
then they should be kept as short as possible and no longer than the original overbraid.
• Ensure the wiring does not contact sources of heat or RF/EMI interference (power sources) and is
not routed near moving components of aircraft controls or other systems. Wire routing must
preclude accidental impact or damage.
• Provide adequate space for the LRU or sensor connector(s). Include additional wire length to
create a service loop for maintenance, where appropriate.
• Shield terminations must be as short as possible and not exceed 3.0 inches unless otherwise
specified. Shields may be connected to the metal connector backshell when the backshell is
grounded to the airframe chassis ground, unless otherwise specified by equipment manufacturer.
Alternately, the shield termination may be directly connected to the airframe ground.
• The GEA 24(B) wiring must be routed away from any windows. Installed GI 275s must not share
any circuit breakers or ground returns. The standby instruments must not share any circuit breakers
or ground returns with any GI 275.
• Intermediate connections must be minimized to maintain certified electromagnetic compatibility.
All shields must have continuity at intermediate connections (e.g., bulkhead connectors, terminal
blocks, splices, etc.). If intermediate connectors are installed, unless otherwise specified, the shield
must be terminated at both sides of the intermediate connector backshells (if metal connector) or to
airframe ground on both sides of the intermediate connectors.

NOTE
Interconnect diagrams in this manual only show end-to-end connections and do not show
intermediate connections that may be present in an aircraft.

Rev. 14 Page 4-2
4.1.1 Shielded Cable Preparation
Prepare all of the shielded cables in accordance with Figure 4-1. When terminating shield drains, a
maximum of two shields can be daisy-chained together. The daisy-chaining method may only be used if
the six tapped holes in the shield block are insufficient to ground all shields.
1. At the end of the shielded cable, strip back a 2.5-inch maximum length of the jacket to expose the
braid.
2. Remove this exposed braid.
3. Carefully score the jacket 1/4 to 5/16 inches from the end and remove the jacket to leave the braid
exposed.

NOTE
Solder sleeves with pre-installed shield drains may be used instead of separate shield
terminators and individual wires.

4. Connect a 20 or 22 AWG wire (2) to the exposed shield of the prepared cable assembly. Refer to
Figure 4-1. Refer to AC 43.13-1B for termination techniques.

NOTE
Solder Sleeves with pre-installed lead: A preferred solder sleeve is the Raychem S03
Series with the thermochromic temperature indicator. These solder sleeves come with a
pre-installed lead and effectively take the place of items (2) and (3). For detailed
instructions on product use, refer to Raychem installation procedure.

5. Slide a shield terminator (3) onto the prepared cable assembly.


6. Connect the shield wire (2) to the shield using a heat gun approved for use with solder sleeves. The
chosen size of solder sleeve must accommodate both the number of conductors present in the cable
and the shield wire (2) to be attached.
7. Crimp contacts onto the cable wires.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 as needed for the remaining shielded cables.
9. Wrap the cable bundle with silicone fusion tape A-A-59163 (MIL-I-46852C) at the point where
the backshell strain relief and cast housing will contact the cable bundle.
10. Install a ring terminal onto the cable shield termination wires (2), grouping wires as applicable for
the connector.

4.2 Equipment Bonding
All installed items listed in Table 4-1 must be electrically bonded to the same airframe ground plane and
meet the listed milliohm requirement. The resistance must be verified with a calibrated milliohm meter
with ±0.1 mΩ (or better) accuracy with all connector(s) disconnected.
All existing third-party remote equipment interfaced to a GI 275 must be electrically bonded to the
airframe ground. It is not acceptable to interface the GI 275 equipment to existing third-party equipment
that relies only on power ground return wires as an electrical ground.
Electrical bonding can be achieved with mounting hardware (e.g., rivets, bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) or via
bond straps. Bonding surfaces must be clean of any primer, grease, or dirt. If mounting hardware is used to
create the electrical bond, the area under the head of the bolt or washer must be free of primer and a spot
face prepared that is at least 0.125 inches wider than the head of the bolt or the washer. Any exposed area
still visible after the bond is completed must be primed and finished with the original coating or other
suitable film. Rivets used to mechanically attach brackets and shelves provide an inherent electrical bond
through the rivets and require no additional bond preparation. The top or bottom side of the Garmin racks
or equipment flanges do not need any special bond preparations. Reference the aircraft manufacturer
(electrical) standard practices manual for procedures on electrical bond preparation, or follow SAE ARP
1870 Aerospace Systems Electrical Bonding and Grounding for Electromagnetic Compatibility and Safety,
Section 5, Detail Requirements.
Table 4-1 Bonding Requirements
Unit Value
GI 275 Base 2.5 mΩ (from unit to instrument panel).
Engine Annunciator(s) 10 mΩ (from unit to instrument panel).
GEA 24(B) 2.5 mΩ (from unit to local structure).
2.5 mΩ or electrically isolated per Appendix D (from
GTP 59
unit to local structure).
2.5 mΩ (from unit to instrument panel or local
GSB 15
structure).

The instrument panel must be metal construction allowing a ground path for instrument panel installations.
For metal and tube-and-fabric aircraft, the ground path is inherently achieved through the metallic airframe
structure. For composite aircraft, a ground plane (or reference) must be used to achieve a comparable
ground.
The face sheet on honeycomb shelves must be metal when equipment is mounted to the shelf. The
honeycomb material between the face sheets is not conductive; therefore, care must be taken to ensure
proper bonding of the equipment. The top and bottom face sheets must be grounded to each other and at
least one of face sheets must be grounded to the airframe.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 4-5
4.2.1 Vibration Mounts
For instrument panels with vibration mounts, verify the mounts are grounded to the metallic airframe
structure with a bonding jumper. Ensure the jumper meets the following specifications:
• The cross-sectional area of the strap is greater than 0.016 square inches (approximately
20,800 circular mils).
• The braid is a 7/16” or wider tubular braid (P/N QQB575R30T437, 24,120 circular mils) or a 3/4”
or wider flat braid (P/N QQB575F36T781, 20,800 circular mils).
• The braid contains a terminal lug (mil-spec MS20659-130) at each end.
• The strap length is as short as possible, not exceeding 6 inches.
Ensure each terminal lug is secured to its respective mating surface with a #10 steel bolt and one flat
washer (P/N AN970-3). Lugs and washers should be center-aligned and flush on all outside edges. These
components should be in full contact with the mating surface.

4.2.2 Aluminum Surface Preparation


In order to prepare the aluminum surface for proper bonding, the following general steps should be
followed. For a detailed procedure, refer to SAE ARP1870 Sections 5.1 and 5.5.
1. Clean grounding location with solvent.
2. Remove non-conductive films or coatings from the grounding location. When area is cleaned
around fastener heads or washers, the area cleaned should be 0.125 inches wider than the footprint
of the washer or the bolt head.
3. Apply a chemical conversion coat, such as Alodine 1200, to the bare metal.
4. Once the chemical conversion coat is dry, clean the area.
5. Install bonding aluminum tape or equipment at grounding location.
6. After the bond is complete, if any films or coatings were removed from the surface, re-apply a
suitable film or coating to the surrounding area.

4.3 Instrument Panel Installations
The GI 275 is primarily designed to replace existing 3-inch diameter flight instruments on the instrument
panel. For all GI 275 installations, the instrument panel must be constructed from metallic materials.
The GI 275 must be electrically bonded to the aircraft instrument panel with a direct current (DC)
resistance specified in Table 4-1. Electrical bond is accomplished through GI 275 surface to backside of
instrument panel surface contact.
The GI 275 display(s) must be located such that it is within the pilot’s field-of-view and also within reach
of the pilot. The GI 275 display(s) must not interfere with the installation of flight control systems or
control lock devices.
FAA AC 23.1311 defines the pilot’s field-of-view as the ability to view the flight instruments with
“minimum head and eye movement”. Figure 4-2 provides an example of the pilot’s field-of-view based on
a distance of 30 inches from the pilot eye to the instrument panel, as recommended in AC 23.1311.

NOTE
Display location must not affect the readability of any existing or added switches under all
lighting conditions, including switches that maybe blocked from the instrument flood lights.

In Figure 4-2, the pilot’s field-of-view centerline is coincident with:


1. A projection of the centerline of the pilot’s seat onto the instrument panel; or
2. The center of control yoke or stick in neutral position if the control yoke or stick are offset from
the centerline of the pilot’s seat.
3. Per AC 23.1311, it is acceptable for the pilot field-of-view centerline to deviate horizontally from
the actual centerline by ±2.0 inches.

Rev. 14 Page 4-7
NOTE
If the GI 275 EIS is installed outside the pilot’s maximum field-of-view, and a PFD capable of
annunciating EIS warnings and cautions is not installed, a remote annunciator(s) will be required
as an engine caution and warning advisory. The annunciator(s) must be located within the pilot’s
primary field-of-view. Refer to Section 4.3.3.

4.3.1 GI 275 Multifunction Indicator


The GI 275 MFD is designed to be installed in a standard 3.125-inch instrument slot in the instrument
panel as long as the data provided by that instrument is provided somewhere else within the viewing angles
in the instrument panel. GI 275 EIS units in multi-engine aircraft must be located adjacent to each other
and oriented (i.e., vertically or horizontally) the same as the previously approved installation.

In most cases, installation of the GI 275 requires minimal modification to the existing instrument panel, as
shown in Figure 4-7.

CAUTION
The instrument panel coating that surrounds the fastener holes and contacts directly with
the GI 275 unit must be removed prior to installation in accordance with Section 4.2.2.

If modification is required, typically it will be trimming an existing 3-inch cutout on the instrument panel
to accommodate the knob on the unit. It may also be necessary to enlarge the instrument panel fastener
holes. Refer to Figure 4-8 for the recommended fastener hole diameter.

When fabricating a new instrument panel, it must:
1. Use the same thickness, material type, and corrosion protection as the original instrument panel.
a. If existing instrument panel material isn’t known, 2024-T3 aluminum per AMS-QQ-A-250/5,
6061-T6 aluminum per AMS 4025, AMS 4027, or AMS-QQ-A-250/11 must be used.
b. Corrosion protection must be in accordance with aircraft model-specific standard practices
manual, or alternatively chemical conversion coating per MIL-DTL-5541 Type II, or
MIL-DTL-81706 Type II, and high-solids chemical and solvent resistant epoxy primer per
MIL-PRF-23377, Class N.
2. Be manufactured using methods and procedures defined in an aircraft standard practices manual,
maintenance manual, or structural repair manual. Methods, techniques, and practices defined in
AC 43.13-1B Chapter 4, Section 4, Metal Repair Procedures, are acceptable.
3. Maintain the form of the existing instrument panel, including the location of fasteners, and retain
all elements of the instrument panel structure (if comprised of multiple parts assembled together),
such that every feature of the instrument panel is preserved or duplicated.
a. Multiple individual pieces of instrument panel assembly must not be combined.
b. Single pieces must not be split into smaller components.
4. Remain at the location where it was originally installed in the aircraft, use the same type of
fasteners as specified in the aircraft model-specific parts catalog, and retain the same instrument
panel installation method as defined by aircraft type design.
5. Retain the lighting for all previously installed instrument(s) that will be re-installed.
Installation and placement of the required placards and limitations must be in accordance with the
applicable aircraft data and aircraft type TCDS.
If any placards were relocated as a result of a display installation, verify the following:
• The font size of the new placard is the same as the placard it is replacing.
• The color of the new placard is identical to the color of the placard it is replacing.
• The text on the new placard is identical to the text on the placard that it is replacing (it can be
arranged differently as required by space constraints, but the wording must be the same).
• The new placard must be legible and not obscured to the pilot by the glareshield, in all flight
control positions, or by any other component in the flight deck.
If new switch labels were added as a result of the GI 275 installation, verify the following:
• The font size and label is legible from the pilot’s seat.
• The labels are legible in all ambient light conditions. In particular, the labels are legible with
ambient flood lighting in darkness.
• The switch label must be legible and not obscured to the pilot by the glareshield, in all flight
control positions, or by any other component to include the switch position.
For all aircraft listed on the AML, electrical bonding and wire routing must be considered for aircraft with
non-metallic airframes.

4.3.4 GSB 15
The GSB 15 is a USB database and charging hub. The GSB 15 is designed to be mounted on a vertical
surface, where moisture and fluids are less likely to be trapped inside the USB ports but still be visible and
accessible to the user.
The preferred location for the GSB 15 is the instrument panel. Other locations are acceptable provided that
they do not interfere with the safe operation of the aircraft. Only units installed in the pilot’s side of the
instrument panel are approved for USB connections (refer to Figure B-13). All other installations
(including co-pilot) are limited to power only.
There are six variants of the GSB 15. Variants include dual USB Type-A ports, dual USB Type-C ports,
and single USB Type-A/single USB Type-C ports. Each variant also has the option to have the connector
on the rear or side of the unit.

1. Install the GSB 15 unit per Section 4.3.4.
2. Install the intermediate piece using the two provided screws.
3. Peel off the tape liners from the intermediate piece.
4. Install the cosmetic piece.
For best results, install the decorative cover as specified below:
• Recommended installation temperature: 70-100°F (21-38°C).
• Minimum installation temperature: 50°F (10°C).
• Recommended screw torque: 4-6 in-lbf.
• After removing the tape liners from the intermediate piece, avoid touching the exposed adhesive.
• Before installing, clean the inside of the cosmetic piece with a 50-90% isopropyl alcohol and water
mixture. Allow it to fully dry before proceeding.
• When installing the decorative cover, apply an evenly distributed minimum force of 7 lbf (3 kgf or
30 N).
• The adhesive will fully cure within 72 hours (90% strength after 24 hours).

4.4 Backshell Assembly
Prepare the shielded cables to be connected to the LRU in accordance with Section 4.1.1, then terminate
the cables to the LRU jackscrew backshell assembly using the following procedure. Refer to Figure 4-19
and Figure 4-20.
1. Terminate the crimped pin/socket contacts (4) in the D-sub connector (7) in accordance with the
aircraft wiring drawings.
2. Place the smooth side of the backshell strain relief clamp (9) across the cable bundle and secure
using three 4-40 x 0.375 pan head screws (10).

CAUTION
Place smooth side of strain relief (9) across cable bundle. DO NOT place grooved side
across cable bundle. Placing the grooved side of the strain relief across the cable bundle
may damage wires.

3. Terminate the ring terminals (6) to the tapped holes on the backshell (8) by placing items on the
8-32 x 0.312 pan head shield terminal screw (13) in the following order before finally inserting the
screw into the tapped holes on the shield block:
a. split washer (14)
b. flat washer (15)
c. first ring terminal (6)
d. second ring terminal (6) (if needed)

NOTE
Each tapped hole on the backshell (8) may accommodate only two ring terminals (6). It is
preferred that a maximum of two wires (2) be terminated per ring terminal. Two wires per
ring terminal will necessitate the use of a ring terminal, #8, insulated, 14-16 AWG
(MS25036-153). If only a single wire is left or if only a single wire is needed for this
connector a ring terminal, #8, insulated, 18-22 AWG (MS25036-149) can accommodate
this single wire. If more wires exist for the connector than two per ring terminal, it is
permissible to terminate three wires per ring terminal.

GI 275 connector assemblies serve as housing for configuration modules. This section lists configuration
module assemblies and installation procedures for installations.
Refer to Figure 4-21 for details and item numbers referenced in the following procedure.
1. Strip back approximately 0.17 inches of insulation from each wire of the 4-conductor wire harness
(3). It is the installer’s responsibility to determine the proper length of insulation to be removed.
2. Crimp a pin (4) to each conductor.
3. Ensure that the wire is visible in the inspection hole, and that the insulation is 1/64 to 1/32 inches
from the end of the contact.
4. Insert newly crimped pins and wires (3, 4) into the connector housing (5) location. For details,
refer to the applicable interconnect drawings.
5. Attach the module (1) to the backshell (6) using a pan head screw (10).
6. Plug the 4-conductor wire harness (3) into the connector on the module (1).
7. Orient the connector housing (5) so that the 4-conductor wire harness (3) is on the same side of the
backshell (6) as the module (1).
8. Attach the cover (7) to the backshell (6) using two screws (8).

4.5 Display Sensors
4.5.1 Backup GPS Antenna
The backup GPS antenna is designed for installation on top of an existing instrument panel glareshield.
The selected location must offer good visibility of the sky through the windshield.
Installation of the backup GPS antenna is optional. When installed, the antenna cannot obstruct or limit the
pilot’s vision (even though the antenna has a low profile). The optimal antenna position is horizontal or as
close to horizontal as practical given the shape of the glareshield.
Fastener holes for non-removable antenna installation, as depicted in Figure 4-23, must not penetrate
through the ventilation or defrost channels built into the glareshield, if present. If the glareshield is part of
the instrument panel structure, fastener holes may only be drilled if allowed by the aircraft maintenance
manual or structural repair manual.

4.5.2 GTP 59
An effective location for the GTP 59 OAT Probe is on or near an access panel on the bottom of the wing, or
in areas where it would mostly be shaded in straight and level flight.
For composite aircraft, the probe must be mounted on an access panel or inspection cover. A typical
installation example is shown in Figure 4-27. If the access panel or inspection cover is conductive, a non-
conductive doubler must be used and a minimum 0.5 inches of clearance maintained between the GTP 59
probe/terminal lug and any conductive element of aircraft structure. A typical installation example is
shown in Figure 4-28.
For metal and tube-and-fabric aircraft, electrical bond between GTP 59 and nearby aircraft metallic
structure must achieve a direct current (DC) resistance less than or equal to 2.5 mΩ with the connector
disconnected. It may be necessary to use a bonding strap to electrically bond the probe. Bonding strap
must:
1. Have the cross-sectional area greater than 0.016 square inches (approx 20,800 circular mils).
QQB575R30T437 7/16” tubular braid (24,120 circular mils) or QQB575F36T781 3/4” flat braid
(20,800 circular mils) meet this requirement.
2. Be as short as possible, not to exceed 6 inches. When installed, the strap must not loop back on
itself.
3. Use MS20659-130 lug and #10 stud (or larger) attached to local aircraft metallic structure with
minimum thickness of 0.032 inches.
4. Use a 5/16 stud size terminal lug connected directly to GTP 59 probe.

Figure 4-25 GTP 59 OAT Probe Dimensions

For metal and tube-and-fabric aircraft, if the GTP 59 is installed in an access panel in Lightning Zone 2A
(refer to Appendix Section F.2), the access panel must be at least 0.032-inch thick aluminum or, if the
access panel is less than 0.032-inch thick aluminum, a doubler that is at least 0.032-inch thick aluminum
(per Figure 4-26) must be installed.
For aircraft with metallic airframes, a doubler is required when the GTP 59 probe is installed in the skin.
The doubler must be a minimum of 2 inches and at least one gauge thicker than the skin with a minimum
doubler thickness of 0.032 inches. The doubler material and installation must be provisioned by the aircraft
structural repair manual or standard practices manual, or alternatively:
1. Use the same material as the aircraft skin. If the material used in the construction of the aircraft
skin is not known, 2024-T3 aluminum per AMS-QQ-A-250/5 can be used.
2. If corrosion protection methods are not specified by the model-specific aircraft standard practices
manual, the doubler material must be chemical conversion coated per MIL-DTL-5541 Type II or
MIL-DTL-81706 Type II and primed with a high-solids chemical and solvent resistant epoxy
primer per MIL-PRF-23377, Class N.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 4-33
The GTP 59 probe must not be mounted in a fuel tank area (wet or dry). An air scoop or a ducted inlet are
an adequate location for the GTP 59 probe. The probe must be located no closer to the inlet edge than the
width of its narrowest opening.
The probe has no icing protection. Temperature measurements may be incorrect if ice accumulates on the
probe, which in turn may affect Engine Percent Power or other data that depend on the measurement of air
temperature.
It is recommended the GTP 59 probe is installed in Lightning Zone 3, although Zone 2A may be an
acceptable location for certain aircraft.

For composite aircraft, the GTP 59 probe must be installed in Lightning Zone 3 and installed such that it is
electrically isolated. For aircraft model-specific information regarding acceptable lightning zones for the
GTP 59, refer to Table D-1. Refer to Appendix F for lightning zone details. Regardless of its location, the
probe must protrude into the air flow when the aircraft is in flight and be kept away from direct sources of
heat (e.g., engine exhaust, direct sunlight, cabin exhaust, etc.) to provide an accurate air temperature
measurement.

4.6 Engine Indicating System
The aircraft must retain all engine indications for engine and aircraft operations within the limits defined in
the Pilot’s Operating Handbook or other approved manual.
Only the GI 275 EIS sensors specified in this section are approved for installation as part of the GI 275
STC. Installation of other sensors requires separate airworthiness approval from the cognizant authority.
The following sections contain information applicable to EIS sensor installation:
• List of compatible sensor interfaces – Appendix Section C.12.
• Selection of aircraft specific sensors – Appendix Section C.12.
• Sensor configuration – Section 5.7.2 and Appendix Section C.12.
• Interconnect diagrams of sensor connections to the GEA 24(B) – Appendix B.

NOTE
This STC does not approve any modifications to the engine firewall.

In addition to the data in this manual, the installation of each probe/sensor and wire must be accomplished
in accordance with the sensor manufacturer’s instructions or as recommended by the engine manufacturer.
Wire routing and clamping must follow procedures defined in the aircraft maintenance manual or standard
practices manual. Practices defined in Chapter 11, Electrical Systems, of AC 43.13-1B Aircraft Inspection
and Repair are acceptable.
Sensors must be connected using hoses and fittings approved as part of the aircraft or engine type
certificated design or standard aircraft parts (AN/MS).
Sensors must not be mounted directly to the engine or engine baffle unless otherwise instructed in this
manual.

CAUTION
Check hose routing for sharp bends. Check sensors and fittings for leaks during engine
run-up; correct any leaks prior to flight.

4.6.1 GEA 24(B)


The GEA 24(B) must be installed in the fuselage cabin environment where it is protected from accidental
damage by occupants and rapid thermal change. It can be mounted directly or indirectly (i.e., via a support
structure) on the aircraft structure. It can be mounted in any orientation, but vertical with the connectors
pointing down is preferred. The unit should be mounted so that the connectors and status LED is viewable
and where it can be inspected and serviced.

CAUTION
The GEA 24(B) cannot be mounted in the engine compartment or where it could be
exposed to moisture or fluids.

If provisioned by the aircraft structural repair manual or standard practices manual, the GEA 24(B) can be
mounted on the engine firewall (opposite surface of the powerplant), fuselage frames, or stringers. The
GEA 24(B) wiring must be routed through existing pass-through holes in the firewall or use existing
bulkhead connectors; otherwise, separate airworthiness approval is required for added holes in the engine
firewall.
The GEA 24(B) must not be placed directly below fluid lines (e.g., fuel lines, oil or hydraulic lines). It also
must be installed as far away as practical from heat sources.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 4-37
If installing the GEA 24(B) on the avionics shelf or the instrument panel, ensure the new fastener holes
maintain a minimum of 2D edge distance and 3D spacing from existing holes. Additionally, ensure the
combined weight of the GEA 24(B) and existing equipment remain within the established weight limit of
the shelf or instrument panel.
If an avionics shelf or suitable platform for the GEA 24(B) is not available, a support structure can be
fabricated. The support structure must:
• Be electrically bonded to the airframe per Section 4.2.
• Be made from 2024-T3 aluminum per AMS-QQ-A-250/5, minimum 0.040 inches thick.
• Be protected from corrosion by applying conversion coating per MIL-DTL-5541 Type II or
MIL-DTL-81706 Type II and primed with epoxy primer per MIL-PRF-23377, Class N.
• Be fabricated in accordance with methods outlined in AC 43.13-2B chapters 1 and 2 and
AC 43.13-1B chapter 4.
• Allow a minimum clearance of 3.0 inches between the connector end of the GEA 24(B) and any
structures for proper wire harness routing.
• Maintain a maximum load capacity of 3.0 lbs.

An example of the support bracket for a GEA 24(B) is shown in Figure 4-29.

CAUTION
Severe engine damage may occur if the incorrect probe length or type is installed. Use the
engine manufacturer’s guidance for proper oil temperature probe length and type.

When installing the oil temperature sensor, use the engine manufacturer’s guidance for probe length and
location. The unbroken side of the crush washer must face the sensor flange. The sensor is torqued finger
tight plus one-half turn and safety wired in accordance with practices defined in Section 7, Safetying, of
Chapter 7, Aircraft Hardware, Control Cables and Turnbuckles, of AC 43.13-1B Aircraft Inspection and
Repair.

Rev. 14 Page 4-42
4.6.4 Pressure
The manifold pressure, oil pressure, and fuel pressure sensors all have similar installation requirements and
processes.
When replacing existing sensors/instruments:
• Do not remove fittings with small orifices that are installed in existing hoses or plumbing. It may
limit fluid loss and fire damage in the event of a hose failure.
• If the sensors/instruments were installed on the cold side of the firewall, reuse the lines and
fittings. This STC does not approve the routing of new fuel or oil lines into the cockpit.
• Do not remove previously installed devices designed to absorb pressure shock/surge (snubber).
• Reuse manifold tubing if it has a vent hole, and install the manifold pressure sensor so that it is not
at the low point in the line.
• Inspect the condition of all existing tubes, hoses, and fittings that are being reused; replace as
necessary.
• Replace the fuel and oil hoses with new hoses if they are used by the sensors installed under this
STC and are located in the engine compartment.
• Install oil and fuel pressure sensors in the same compartment as the sensor being replaced. This
ensures the same ambient reference pressure is used and the indication is consistent with the
previous gauge.
• Verify that the supply voltage and sensor configuration are correct if a different sensor is installed
(e.g., if a brass sensor is replaced by a GPT sensor).
When installing pressure sensors:
• Install sensors in accordance with the applicable installation example (refer to Figure 4-34 (brass),
Figure 4-35 (mil-spec), and Figure 4-36 (GPT).
• Fuel and oil hoses installed in the engine compartment must meet TSO-C53a Type C or D (fire
resistant). Only use approved aircraft fittings (e.g., AN/AS-spec or Mil-spec) and hoses
(e.g., Aeroquip 303 or Aeroquip AE 466). All hoses must be rated for the pressure and temperature
and be compatible with the fuel or oil.
• Do not install sensors directly below fittings or components that may leak flammable fluid.
• Thread sealant must be used for the NPT threads. To reduce the risk of system contamination, a
minimal amount of sealant should be applied, leaving at least two threads at the end of the fitting
clear of sealant.
• Sensor hoses must be routed as far away from the aircraft exhaust system as practical and no closer
than 6 inches.
• Line fittings, routing, alignment, bonding, and support spacing must be installed as defined in the
aircraft maintenance manual or Section 8-31 of AC 43.13-1B Aircraft Inspection and Repair.

WARNING
Ensure the pressure sensor installation does not introduce thread sealant or debris into the
aircraft system.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 4-47
The fuel flow transducer can be mounted by clamping the hoses connected to the transducer or by using a
bracket. If mounting with clamps, the unit placement must be no further than 6 inches from the clamp to
the nearest face of the transducer.
• The transducer can be installed in the following orientations:
◦ The wires pointing up.
◦ The cap with five bolts pointing up.
◦ The output port pointing up.
◦ Any combination thereof.
• The flow must follow the direction marked on the ports.
• The hose connected to the IN port should be straight for a minimum of 4 inches.
• The length of hose connected to the OUT port should be level or slope up. It must not slope down
more than 4 inches per foot.
If mounting the transducer with a bracket, the bracket must be fabricated. The bracket can be fastened at
the top of the engine using the existing engine crankcase fasteners. The amount of available space between
the top of the engine and the engine cowling needs to be considered in the design of the bracket. The
location of the bracket and position of the fuel flow transducer must result in as few bends in the fuel lines
as possible.
The bracket must be fabricated from 300 series austenitic stainless steel (annealed per AMS 5901 or
½ hard per AMS 5517), sheet thickness 19 gauge minimum (0.044 inches), and installed as provisioned by
the aircraft structural repair manual or standard practices manual. Methods, techniques, and practices
defined in Chapter 4, Metal Structure, Welding and Brazing, of AC 43.13-1B Aircraft Inspection and
Repair are acceptable.
Hoses and fittings connected to fuel flow transducer must meet the following:
• The fuel flow transducer must be connected with new hoses and the hoses must not be subject to
movement that could loosen the fittings.
• The hoses must have the same internal diameter as the hose being replaced and meet TSO-C53a
Type C or D (fire-resistant) specifications.
• Fuel-compatible thread sealant must be used for the NPT threads. To reduce the risk of fuel
system contamination, a minimal amount of sealant should be applied, leaving at least two threads
at the end of the fitting clear of sealant.
• Fitting torque must not exceed 15 ft-lbf or two full turns past finger-tight, whichever occurs first.
• The transducer and fuel hoses must be routed as far away from the aircraft exhaust system as
practical. The transducer must be protected with Aeroquip AE102-( ) fire-sleeve if within
6 inches of any exhaust component.
• Line fittings, routing, alignment, bonding, and support spacing must be installed as defined in the
aircraft maintenance manual or Section 8-31 of AC 43.13-1B Aircraft Inspection and Repair.

WARNING
Ensure the fuel flow transducer installation does not introduce thread sealant or debris into
the fuel system.

CAUTION
Do not blow pressurized air through the flow transducer.

4.6.5.1 Fuel Flow EMI

NOTE
The installation of EI FT-60/90 fuel flow sensors must be checked for EMI in accordance
with the procedure defined in Section 6.7.

If the fuel flow gauge fluctuates during the EMI checkout procedure (refer to Section 6.7), an EI FT-60 or
EI FT-90 fuel flow sensor must be installed with shield bracket and wire overbraid. Refer to Figure 4-38
for the installation that illustrates how the fuel flow sensor cover plates are shielded by the bracket (7). The
overbraid must cover the unshielded portion of the sensor wiring and must be terminated such that the
overbraid is connected to the fuel flow sensor and the shielding of the wire. Refer to Figure 4-39 for
overbraid installation.

4.6.6 RPM
The GI 275 system can use the electrical signal generated by the primary magneto coils or “P-Lead” to
display RPM. Both magneto P-Lead signals, left and right, must be connected to the GEA 24(B). The
connection is made at the ignition switch if the magneto does not have a ring terminal stud; otherwise, the
connection can be made at the magneto or at the ignition switch, whichever minimizes the length of wire
required to connect the GEA 24(B). The wire length between the P-Lead connection and the resistors must
not exceed 6 inches. Shielded wires must be used as shown in Appendix B.
If the P-Lead on TCM/Bendix magnetos was used, torque the P-Lead nut between 15 and 17 in-lbf. If the
P-Lead on Slick magnetos was used, torque P-Lead nut between 13 and 15 in-lbf.
This STC only provides interface approval to magnetic pickup RPM sensors. It does not provide
installation approval for magnetic pickup sensors. For TCM/Bendix magnetos, the magnetic pickup must
be installed in the vent hole furthest from the distributor cap. Refer to Figure 4-40.

Figure 4-40 TCM/Bendix Magneto Vent Hole

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 4-50
For Slick magnetos, the magnetic pickup must be installed in the vent hole furthest from the distributor
cap. Refer to Figure 4-41.

Figure 4-41 Slick Magneto Vent Hole

Following the installation of the P-Lead signal wires, verify the continuity of each magneto P-Lead to
ground while the ignition key is off. If there is evidence of discontinuity in the magneto P-Lead grounding
circuit, it must be corrected before further engine maintenance or checks. Continuity can only be measured
if the magneto points are open or the wire is disconnected from the magneto. Use a magneto timing light to
ensure the ohmmeter will not measure false continuity through the points or coil windings.

CAUTION
Do not turn the propeller and stay clear of the propeller arc when installing the P-Lead
signal wires.

WARNING
The P-Lead sensor wiring must include the resistors as shown in Appendix B. The resistors
prevent magneto shut-off in the event of a shorted RPM P-Lead wire. The resistors must be
installed as close as practical to the P-lead connection, near either the magneto or the
ignition switch.

4.6.7 CHT, EGT, TIT Probes


Garmin stocks certain probes to simplify the EIS sensor ordering process. Sensor part numbers are cross-
referenced with Alcor STC SA522SW part numbers. The GI 275 STC does not provide installation
approval for CHT, EGT, and TIT probes; however, the data in STC SA522SW is adequate for many
installations.

4.7 Remote Aircraft Status Relay Installation
Relays are required if a GDL 60 is installed and the Remote Aircraft Status (RAS) feature is desired. The
quantity of relays required depends on the aircraft electrical system architectures, as shown in Figure B-15.
RAS 1 relay must be installed adjacent to the battery. For other relays (RAS 2 and on), it is recommended
install them at the circuit breaker panel or in vicinity of the circuit breaker panel. Installation in a location
which exposes the relays directly to outside environment is not permitted.
When drilling new fastener holes for the relay bracket, avoid drilling new fastener holes on fatigue-critical
structures (e.g., wing and empennage structures) or pressurized fuselage (i.e. pressurized bulkheads,
frames and skin).
When drilling new fastener holes on an existing platform for the relay bracket, the new holes must
maintain 2D edge distance (D is the fastener diameter) and 3D distance from existing holes.
Before installing the relay bracket, apply a chemical conversion coating per aircraft structure repair manual
or SAE ARP 1870 Section 5.1. Priming of the relay bracket is optional. If primer is applied, prime the
relay bracket per aircraft structural repair manual.
The relay bracket shall be electrically bonded. The electrical bond shall achieve direct current (DC)
resistance of 2.5 milliohms or less between bracket faying surface and aircraft structure. Electrical bonding
is achieved through the fasteners as follows:
• If using screw/nuts/washers, use cadmium plated steel hardware and ensure the area underneath
each hardware is burnished a minimum of 1/4 inch greater than the hardware diameter. The surface
preparation shall be per SAE ARP 1870, Section 5.
• If using rivets, a minimum of three rivets shall be installed per aircraft structural repair manual.
Relays/sockets approved for installation are listed in Section 3.1.2.

4.7.1 Relay Installation Examples


Example 10A relay brackets are shown in Figure 4-42. Example 5A relay brackets are shown in
Figure 4-43. The bracket can be either flat or L-angle. The bracket can be fabricated from 6061-T6 or
2024-T3 aluminum, min 0.032 inch thick. Fabrication methods, techniques, and practices provided by
aircraft structural repair manual or standard practices defined in advisory circular AC43.13-1B, Aircraft
Inspection and Repair, are acceptable.

5.3 Unit Type
The Unit Type page is used to configure the GI 275 unit as a specific type of display. This includes
Unit ID, System ID, Airframe Type, and Unit Configuration.

5.3.1 Unit ID

CAUTION
Failure to follow the procedure to set Unit ID before performing any other configuration
steps may result in configuration errors or configuration settings being overwritten by
another display. Unit IDs must be unique for each unit in the system.

A Unit ID must be assigned to each installed GI 275 prior to configuring the function of each unit.
• Unit ID – A unique ID number between 1 – 6 for each GI 275 installed in the system. Unit ID is
set to a blank default at the factory and must be manually set. For a single GI 275 installation, set
the ID to GI 1. The unit assigned GI 1 should also be set as the Master display (refer to Section
5.3.2). Each Unit ID must be unique and set using the following procedure:

When the GI 275 is powered on in Configuration mode for the first time (or after configuration settings are
cleared), it will automatically prompt the user to assign a Unit ID. This cannot be skipped.
Alternatively, the Unit ID can be configured by following the steps:
1. Verify all GI 275 units are powered off.
2. Power up a single GI 275 in Configuration mode, as described in Section 5.1.1.
3. From the home page, touch Unit Type → Unit ID → LRU and select a unique Unit ID between
1 and 6.
4. Touch Restart to apply the assignment.
5. Power down the display (do not power back on at this time).
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the remaining installed GI 275s.
7. When all Unit ID assignments have been made, power up all displays in Configuration mode
before moving to the next configuration steps. The Unit ID assigned to each display is shown on
the left side of the display on the Configuration mode home page or on the Unit Type page.

CAUTION
For installations with more than one GI 275, all configuration settings made after the steps in
Section 5.3.1 must be done with all displays powered on and in Configuration mode.

CAUTION
Once all GI 275s have been configured, the Unit ID should not be changed. Doing so will
result in a loss of configuration settings.

touch the Master button and select Yes to confirm the change. The System ID will be displayed below the
button.

CAUTION
Changing the designated Master display will change the GI 275 System ID. This will
cause any previously unlocked features and installed databases to become unavailable.
New feature unlocks will be required for the new System ID. Databases will also have to
be re-installed; a new subscription may be required for some databases.

NOTE
Feature unlocks and databases will not become unavailable until the system is rebooted
after the designation is changed.

5.3.3 Airframe Type


The Airframe Type page is used to configure the GI 275 for a Fixed Wing or Rotorcraft installation. Set
Airframe Type to Fixed Wing per this STC.

5.6 Setup
This section describes the setup for lighting, page configuration, audio alerts, Terrain/TAWS, backup
battery, and other miscellaneous settings. Ensure all interfaces necessary in Section 5.5 have been
successfully configured prior to continuing with setup. Some pages contained in this section may not be
applicable to every installation or may not be available.

5.6.1 Lighting
This section outlines the preferred method for configuring the GI 275 lighting in the aircraft. The GI 275
STC allows display/knob lighting control with or without the Enhanced Lighting mode selection. The
Enhanced Lighting mode allows a more customized lighting curve.
Configure Day Mode Curve is the only setting available for configuration when Enhanced Lighting mode
is selected. Figure 5-5 shows the Lighting page.

NOTE
All lighting conditions must be considered when configuring the display for photocell only. If the
aircraft is equipped with an instrument panel flood or wash lighting, the installation must be
evaluated to verify the flood/wash lighting does not affect the GI 275 lighting level. If the display
lighting level is adversely affected by the flood/wash lighting, then the GI 275 must be connected
to a lighting bus to control the display brightness.

Figure 5-5 Lighting Page

To accurately configure the lighting, the ability to adjust ambient light conditions is required. The installer
must have the means to simulate complete darkness in the cockpit. Simply covering the photocells may not
allow the installer’s eye to properly judge whether the display brightness is too bright or too dim for night
use.
The following tables must be used for lighting configuration:
• Table 5-16 - Photocell for display/knob (Enhanced Lighting mode de-selected).
• Table 5-17 - Lighting bus for display/knob (Enhanced Lighting mode de-selected).
• Table 5-18 - Photocell for display/knob (Enhanced Lighting mode selected).
• Table 5-19 - Lighting Bus for display (Enhanced Lighting mode selected).
• Table 5-20 - Lighting Bus for knob (Enhanced Lighting mode selected).

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 5-20
Due to the complicated nature of configuring the Enhanced Lighting mode, Table 5-15 provides suggested
settings as a starting point for lighting curve configuration. Other user-defined curves can be used, as well
as modifying these values to better match the overall cockpit lighting scheme and installation.

For GI 275 software v2.60 or later, Database Sync with GTN 6XX/7XX units is not
supported. However, Database Sync with GTN Xi units is supported.

GI 275 and GTN 6XX/7XX or GTN Xi units synchronize databases using Database Sync in order to
minimize user effort when loading/updating databases. The user only has to insert an SD card with
databases to be loaded into the GTN 6XX/7XX or GTN Xi and the databases will be updated on all
connected LRUs for all displays with Database Sync enabled rather than having to update each unit
individually. The GI 275 system and GTN 6XX/7XX or GTN Xi will have different system IDs. The
databases being synchronized must be enabled for both system IDs in order to allow the Database Sync to
take place. Refer to Section 5.2 for more information on acquiring and loading databases.
The following databases are synchronized:
• Airport directory
• Aviation
• Obstacle
• SafeTaxi
• Basemap
The following databases are not synchronized:
• Terrain
Make the desired selection between Pilot Control and Disabled for Database Sync functionality. Selecting
Pilot Control enables Database Sync functionality.

5.7 EIS
This section provides data for the configuration of a GI 275 EIS. Prior to beginning EIS configuration, an
EIS data source (GEA 24(B)) must be configured via the Interfaces page, per the directions found in
Section 5.5.12. Refer to Section 2.1.3.1 for limitations and guidance on selection of engine adapter(s). The
GI 275 must be configured as either an EIS display or an MFD in order for the EIS page to be available.
There are six subsections of the EIS configuration. The subsections must be completed in the following
order:
1. Engine – Enter single- or multi-engine, number of cylinders, engine power settings, flight hours,
HOBBS hours, and Tach hours.
2. Sensors – Select the sensors that are installed in the aircraft for EIS 1 or EIS 2 (if applicable).
3. Pages – Configure Full Time Gauges, Full Time Extra Info, CHT/EGT page extra info, and lean
parameters.
4. Gauges – Configure the gauge markings and layout.
5. Fuel – Enter fuel tank specifications and fuel type, and perform a Quantity Calibration.
6. Diagnostics – View the status of the engine sensors and GEA.
The sections below outline the data required and the data entry procedure for the first three subsections.
Fuel Quantity Calibration is outlined in Section 5.8.3.1. Procedures begin assuming the GI 275 is powered
on in Configuration mode.

5.7.1 Engine
Configure the EIS as a Single- or Multi-engine system with a 4- or 6-cylinder engine depending on the
aircraft.
Set the Engine Power parameters for supplemental Percent Engine Power indication if desired. The
following items under Engine Power must be configured for engine power to be available:
• Maximum Rated Engine Horsepower.
• Maximum Manifold Pressure.
◦ If normally-aspirated, defaulted to 29.92 in-Hg.
• RPM at Maximum Rated Engine Horsepower.
• Verify configured RPM value type matches the display RPM type (i.e., engine RPM vs propeller
RPM).
• Minimum Brake Specific Fuel Consumption.
◦ Defaulted to 0.39 lb/hr/BHP.

NOTE
Minimum BSFC should not be changed from the default value unless an alternate value
can be identified in a specific installation’s engine operator’s manual. Some engine
operator’s manuals graphically depict minimum BSFC on engine performance curves.

Refer to the aircraft time meter(s), tachometer, and the aircraft records to ensure the times are entered in
the correct field and are accurate.
Flight Hours accumulate when the aircraft is in the air. The EIS will increment this value when the engine
exceeds 1250 RPM. HOBBS Hours accumulate when the engine is running and the oil pressure exceeds 5
psi. Tach Hours increment at a normal rate when the RPM is equal to cruise RPM, slower when RPM is
less than cruise RPM, and faster when RPM is above cruise RPM.

5.7.4.1 Gauge Layout


Refer to Appendix E for gauge layout information.

5.7.4.2 Gauge Markings and Ranges


Obtain the AFM/POH or other approved data to set the gauge markings and gauge ranges. If the existing
aircraft gauges that are being replaced do not match the AFM/POH or other approved data, the installer
must resolve the discrepancy. Prior modifications may have altered the aircraft limitations and operating
parameters.

WARNING
Gauge markings, limitations, and units present in the AFM/POH, this manual, or other
approved data must be represented on the EIS gauge. No additional markings are permitted
on required gauges.

NOTE
The GI 275 EIS typically utilizes bar gauges instead of full radial gauges. Because of this,
colored “arcs” listed in the POH/AFM should be configured as colored “ranges” on the
GI 275 instead.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page 5-40
NOTE
Only red or yellow colors are capable of alerting. A red range will alert and can be used
for items such as low fuel quantity alerting. Refer to Appendix Section E.6.1.

Gauge markings are not approved for the following gauges:


• EGT
If replacing an existing gauge, all markings will need be replicated on the EIS display. Use Table 5-27 to
gather the marking and range information for each gauge specified in the AFM/POH or other approved
data.
If configuring a new EIS gauge, only configure the Units and the Gauge Range. All units must match the
AFM/POH, if applicable, and values selected must be appropriate for the gauge function.

Use the following procedure for gauge configuration:


1. Complete Table 5-27 for each gauge specified in the AFM/POH or other approved data, and refer
to Table 5-28 for additional settings.
2. Using the information gathered in step 1, configure each gauge as shown in the example in
Figure 5-17. The EIS gauge settings must accurately convey the limitations in the AFM/POH or
other approved data.
3. Use Table 5-29 as an additional guide to set the gauge ranges. When setting the gauge range, verify
the minimum and maximum values are captured within the physical markings of the gauge. It may
be necessary to adjust the minimum and maximum gauge range so that the gauge needle has a
value represented. Refer to Figure 5-18 for an example.
4. When configuring gauge ranges that include red line markings, the total gauge range must be
configured so that the pilot can identify an exceeded value if the gauge passes the redline marking.

required to be considered a PASS. For aircraft that are only approved for flight at 25,000 feet or
less, a rundown time of at least 30 minutes is required to be considered a PASS.

5.8.3 Fuel
5.8.3.1 Fuel Quantity Calibration
The Fuel Quantity Calibration is performed in Configuration mode (EIS → Fuel → Quantity Cal or
Calibration/Test → Fuel → Quantity Cal). Ensure the settings on the Fuel page are configured.

CAUTION
Ensure the correct Fuel Quantity sensor configuration before calibration. If using a
GEA 24(B) with resistive fuel probes, the fuel quantity sensor must be configured as 0-5
Volt. Refer to Appendix C.

This procedure is used to calibrate the GI 275 fuel quantity gauges. It begins with drained fuel tanks, then
unusable fuel is added, and then fuel is added in specified quantities during the fueling process. Tank
calibration takes time and cannot be interrupted once initiated. The Fuel Quantity Calibration procedure is
not required to be performed immediately following the setup of the fuel quantity gauge; however, it must
be completed before flight.
When determining the number of calibration points and amount of fuel to add at each, it is recommended
to take the total usable fuel capacity of each tank and divide it by a number of points that results in an
easily measurable amount of fuel to be added at each point (e.g., for a 24 GAL (of usable fuel) tank, divide
24 (gallons of usable fuel) by 6 (calibration points) to equal 4 (gallons of fuel to be added at each point).
Take that number of points (6 in this example) and add 1 more for the unusable fuel (Point 1). So, a tank
that holds 24 gallons of usable fuel could perform the calibration with 7 points, adding 4 gallons at each
point after the unusable fuel is added in the first point.

5.15 Database Loading

NOTE
When updating databases on the GI 275, ensure the aircraft has been on the ground since
the unit was powered on, otherwise certain database update options are disabled.

The GI 275 system uses several databases depending on its configuration. These databases (and database
updates) are available for purchase at flyGarmin.com. Databases are locked to a System ID and cannot be
used in more than one system. The system ID is the same for each GI 275 installed in the system.
Databases are typically updated using a portable electronic device (PED) with the Garmin Pilot
application.
After obtaining the appropriate databases from flyGarmin.com, they can be loaded to the GI 275 system by
USB drive, another Garmin LRU via Database Sync, or through the Database Concierge feature (Wi-Fi).

5.15.1 Automatic Database Updates


The GI 275 will automatically prompt the user to update databases on startup in Normal mode if the
following conditions are met:
• A newer database is detected in the standby queue (refer to GI 275 Pilot’s Guide for details) or on
a connected compatible Garmin LRU.
• The newer database is within its effective dates.
• The aircraft is on the ground.
Follow the on-screen prompts to update a database. A dedicated page will display during this process.

NOTE
The Basemap and Terrain databases will automatically update when the above conditions
are met without user input. In this case, a unit restart is not required.

NOTE
The GI 275 can receive database updates from other compatible LRUs, but it can only
provide database updates to GPS 175, GNX 375, GNC 355, and other GI 275 units.

Load Databases via Database Sync


If Database Sync is enabled on the GI 275 (refer to Section 5.6.5), then databases on each GI 275 in the

• Gauge indications are appropriate for all flight regimes.
• Values on the Fuel page populate when a GPS destination is active.
• Post-flight check of installed sensors and fittings for leaks.
If the AFM/POH has an operating limitation based only on fuel flow, the fuel flow must be accurate within
10% to ensure the limitation is maintained. If the recorded fuel flow and measured fuel flow are out of
tolerance, the K-factor must be adjusted in Configuration mode. Perform the following:
1. Ensure the fuel lines are purged of air.
2. Record the displayed fuel flow and the measured fuel flow at the same engine settings.
• Example: Displayed value is 20 GPH, measured value is 24 GPH
3. Determine the offset ratio: Measured / Displayed.
• Example: Measured / Displayed = 24 / 20 = 1.2
4. Inverse the ratio.
• Example: 1 / 1.2 = 0.8333
5. Multiply the inverse by the currently used K-factor in Configuration mode.
• Example: Current K-factor 68000, adjusted K-factor is 68000 * 0.8333 = 56667
6. Enter the adjusted K-factor and reload the sensor.

6.9 Documentation Checks
All checks contained in the previous sections must be completed prior to performing the following checks.

6.9.1 Airplane Flight Manual Supplement


Ensure that the AFMS is completed and inserted in the AFM or POH.
1. Fill in the specific airplane information on the AFMS cover sheet.
2. In the AFMS Section 1.7, fill in all applicable check boxes. More than one box may be checked,
depending upon the installation.

6.9.2 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness


Ensure that the appropriate aircraft information in Appendix A of GI 275 Part 23 AML STC Maintenance
Manual/ICA (P/N 190-02246-11) is filled in completely and inserted into the aircraft permanent records.

6.9.3 Return to Service


Complete the return-to-service in a means acceptable to the cognizant aviation authority. An example
would be compliance with 14 CFR 43.9, 14 CFR 91.417 and submission of an FAA Form 337 “Major
Repair and Alteration Airframe, Powerplant, Propeller, or Appliance” completed in accordance with
advisory circular AC43.9-1F, Instructions for Completion of FAA Form 337.
If a GEA 24 P/N 011-02848-01 is connected to resistive fuel quantity probe(s), verify the interface is
installed in accordance with revision 7 or later of this installation manual (refer to Section 3.4.2,
Figure B-6, and Appendix Section C.12). If the interface does not comply, refer to Garmin Service Bulletin
SB2135 for additional information. Once complete, make the following entry in the aircraft maintenance
record (i.e. airframe logbook):
The GI 275 installation in this aircraft complies with Garmin Service Bulletin SB2135,
Modification of GEA 24 Resistive Fuel Probe Interface.

7.2 Additional Troubleshooting
If necessary, perform the following troubleshooting steps:
1. The GI 275 air/ground logic must be on-ground when making any configuration changes or
attempting to load software. If the system is in-air while attempting system configuration changes
or software loads, system failures will occur. For example, an air data test set can trigger an
unexpected in-air state. Ensure:
a. GPS ground speed must be less than 30kts. Using a GPS repeater can create issues with the
GPS system switching between satellite acquisition from an outside signal and the repeater
signal causing false GPS ground speed readings.
b. For units with EIS, the RPM readings must be 0 RPM while entering Configuration mode.
2. Ensure every GI 275 is in Configuration mode prior to making any configuration change.
3. Ensure every unit in the system has matching software.

This appendix contains connector information and a description of pin functions for all LRUs installed as
part of this manual and the GI 275 STC, with exception of the EIS sensors.
Refer to the LRU TSO installation manuals listed in Table 1-1 for more detailed signal information on each
LRU and manufacturer documentation for EIS sensor information.
All D-sub connectors follow a similar pin numbering scheme. Numbered layouts (as seen while looking at
the LRU) are provided for each connector in the orientation that it appears on the unit. Because
installations can vary, ensure the correct orientation of the connector and pins.

NOTES

1 FOR GNC NAVIGATORS, CONNECT ALL SHIELDS TO SHIELD BLOCK GROUND, NOT AIRFRAME GROUND.

THE NAV RECEIVER DOES NOT PROVIDE A VLOC COMPOSITE LO PIN. CONNECT THE VLOC COMPOSITE
2 LO WIRE FROM THE GDU TO GROUND AT THE NAV RECEIVER.

KX 170B / KX 175B DO NOT HAVE A GLIDESLOPE OUTPUT. USE A SEPARATE GLIDESLOPE RECEIVER TO
3 DRIVE THESE INPUTS ON THE GDU.

KX155/165 NAV UNITS HAVE DUAL GLIDESLOPE OUTPUTS. USE “NUMBERED” OR LETTERED PINS, NOT
4 BOTH. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, USE AN UNUSED SET OF PINS.

GLIDESLOPE CONNECTIONS ARE ONLY REQUIRED IF THE NAV RECEIVER CONTAINS THE OPTIONAL
5 GLIDESLOPE RECEIVER.

THE GTN 6XX/7XX AND GTN Xi UTILIZE THE SAME INTERFACE SHOWN IN THE GPS INTERCONNECT;
6 THEREFORE, NOT SHOWN IN THE NAV INTERCONNECT.

NOTES

1 FOR HONEYWELL TRAFFIC SYSTEMS, DO NOT SPLICE “TAS TEST” OR “TIS/TAS STANDBY”.

TAS TEST AND TIS/TAS STANDBY DISCRETE CONNECTIONS ARE ONLY REQUIRED IF THE GI 275 IS
2 INTERFACED USING ARINC 429 AND CONFIGURED FOR “CONTROL TRAFFIC”. DISCRETE CONNECTIONS
ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR HSDB CONNECTION.

FOR THE TCAD TO ACCEPT ARINC 429 HEADING AND ALTITUDE, PROCESSOR P/N 70-2420-5 OR LATER IS
3 REQUIRED. THE BUS SPEED MUST BE THE SAME FOR ARINC 429 RX 1 AND RX 2.

4 REFER TO SECTION 3.2.5 FOR HSDB ARCHITECTURE.

5 USE ONLY AHRS OR ADAHRS OUTPUT OF GSU 75.

6 USE ONLY ADC OUTPUT OF THE GSU 75.

IF DESIRED, ALTITUDE AND HEADING MAY BE PROVIDED BY THE GI 275 TO THE SKYWATCH SYSTEM. ANY
AVAILABLE ARINC 429 INPUTS ON THE TRAFFIC COMPUTER MAY BE USED IF THOSE SHOWN ARE
7 ALREADY USED. THE TRAFFIC SYSTEM MAY HAVE TO BE CONFIGURED TO ACCEPT ALTITUDE AND
HEADING VIA ARINC 429 (LOW-SPEED). REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
IF DESIRED, ALTITUDE, ATTITUDE, AND HEADING MAY BE PROVIDED BY THE GI 275 TO THE HONEYWELL
TRAFFIC SYSTEM. THE HONEYWELL TRAFFIC SYSTEM WILL NOT ACCEPT HEADING/ATTITUDE AND
ALTITUDE ON A SINGLE ARINC 429 INPUT. CONSEQUENTLY, HEADING/ATTITUDE (HIGH-SPEED) AND
8 ALTITUDE (LOW-SPEED) MUST BE PROVIDED TO SEPARATE INPUTS. THE TRAFFIC SYSTEM MUST BE
CONFIGURED TO ACCEPT ARINC 429 ALTITUDE, HEADING, AND ATTITUDE. REFER TO THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

IF DESIRED, ALTITUDE, TEMPERATURE, HEADING, SPEED, AND SELECTED COURSE INFORMATION MAY
9 BE PROVIDED BY THE GI 275 TO THE TRANSPONDER.

IF THE GI 275 IS THE ONLY ALTITUDE SOURCE FOR THE GTX, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE GTX ALSO
10 BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO AN EXTERNAL AIR DATA SOURCE SO THAT THE TRANSPONDER WILL
CONTINUE REPORTING ALTITUDE IN THE EVENT OF A GI 275 FAILURE.

IF ANOTHER TRAFFIC SOURCE IS WIRED TO THE GI 275, DO NOT WIRE THE GTX ARINC OUTPUT TO THE
11 GI 275.

DO NOT WIRE TO THE GI 275 IF A GTX 345 IS INSTALLED. THESE TRAFFIC SYSTEMS MUST BE WIRED IN
12 ACCORDANCE WITH THE GTX 345 INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR PROPER CORRELATION AND DISPLAY.

13 TRC 497 SOFTWARE v1.6 OR HIGHER IS REQUIRED.

This appendix provides guidance for configuring EIS gauge layouts for the GI 275 EIS display. Any
deviation from the requirements contained within will require the installer to obtain additional approval.
The gauge layout of the GI 275 may differ between installations due to various factors. Gauge layouts are
generated automatically by the GI 275 depending on the selected engine sensors, specific gauge
configuration and markings, and the number of EIS displays installed. Guidelines for how the EIS gauge
layout is generated are given in the following sections.
Not all aircraft and the engine indications are compatible with the GI 275 EIS due to the installed engine
gauges and the associated markings. For incompatibility cases, the original gauge must be retained. Refer
to Section 2 for limitations.
The GI 275 EIS provides up to five different pages depending on the system configuration: Main EIS
page, AUX EIS page, CHT/EGT page, Fuel page, and Summary page. Each page has three distinct
display sections: top, middle, and bottom.

NOTE
The gauge minimum and maximum limits may be adjusted to optimize pilot interpretation
of the gauge; however, all limitations in the POH/AFM or other approved aircraft data
must be displayed on the gauge.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page E-1
E.1 Main EIS Page
The Main EIS page is divided into four sections: top, bottom, middle-left, which contains a CHT/EGT
Graph, and middle-right, which contains strip gauges.
The following is an example of the GI 275 Main EIS page.

Figure E-1 Example Main EIS Page

Top Full-Time Gauges


The GI 275 EIS provides a section at the top to display specific gauge information on all pages. This
includes RPM and Manifold Pressure (if applicable). Additionally, a Prop Sync Wheel (conventional twin-
engine only) or Percent Power can be configured to be displayed.
Percent Power requires the following gauge inputs: RPM, Manifold Pressure, Fuel Flow, and OAT, as well
as inputting the Max Rated Horsepower, Max MAP, RPM at Max HP, and the Minimum Brake Specific
Fuel Consumption (BSFC). Refer to Section 5.7.1 for engine configuration settings.
The Manifold Pressure gauge can be configured to show on the left side or on the right side of the RPM
gauge. Refer to Figure E-2 for examples.

Figure E-2 Top Full-Time Gauge Examples

Bottom Full-Time Fuel Gauges


The GI 275 EIS provides a section at the bottom to display specific gauge information on all pages. If Main
Fuel is configured, the Main Fuel Quantity beakers will be shown on every page in the bottom center
(single or left/right). If Fuel Quantity is not configured, Outside Air Temperature will be displayed in this
location. If Fuel Quantity and OAT are not configured, Time (UTC) will be displayed full-time in the
bottom center position.
For twin-engine aircraft, the Fuel Quantity gauge must only be shown on one EIS unit. Toggle the Show
button in the EIS Gauges menu on one of the two EIS displays so that the Fuel Quantity gauge is only
shown on one unit.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page E-2
Bottom Full-time AUX/Tip Fuel Quantity and Electrical Gauges
If AUX/Tip tanks are configured, AUX/Tip Fuel beaker gauges will be displayed to the left and right of the
Main Fuel Quantity beaker gauges. If AUX/Tip tanks are not configured but digital gauges (e.g.,
Alternator, Battery, Bus - Volts/AMPS) are configured, up to two digital gauges will be displayed in the
bottom left and right corners. If a single AUX gauge is configured, its fuel beaker gauge will be displayed
in the lower left corner. Additionally, if a single AUX gauge and only one digital gauge are configured, the
digital gauge will also populate next to the AUX gauge in the lower right position. Refer to Figure E-3 for
examples.
The priority for populating bottom left and bottom right full-time gauges is as follows:
(With Red or Yellow Markings)
1. AUX/Tip Fuel (left/right center) – always highest priority over any digital gauge
2. Alternator Amps
3. Battery Volts
4. Bus Volts
5. Battery Amps
(Without Red or Yellow Markings)
6. Alternator Amps
7. Battery Volts
8. Bus Volts
9. Battery Amps IAT

Figure E-3 Bottom Full-Time Gauge Examples


For twin-engine aircraft, the Fuel Quantity gauge must only be shown on one EIS unit. Toggle the Show
button in the EIS Gauges menu on one of the two EIS displays so that the Fuel Quantity gauge is only
shown on one unit.

Rev. 14 Page E-3
Middle Left CHT/EGT Graph
The GI 275 EIS provides a 4 or 6-cylinder CHT/EGT graph in the middle left of the Main EIS page. This
section displays CHT, EGT, and if configured, Primary EGT or TIT (single or dual) in a bar graph layout
with digital readouts above the graph for the hottest cylinder or the user-selected cylinder. Refer to Figure
E-4 for examples.

Figure E-4 CHT/EGT Graph Examples

Middle Right Strip Gauges


The GI 275 EIS provides a section in the middle right of the display that arranges up to four strip gauges or
up to three strip gauges with two digital gauges. This section layout will differ depending on the displayed
gauges and the alerting lines configured with the corresponding gauge. Refer to Figure E-5 for layout
examples.

Figure E-5 Strip Gauge Examples


The gauges in the middle right of the Main EIS page follow a gauge priority scheme as shown below.
Number 1 is the highest priority gauge and number 17 is the lowest priority gauge. The section populates
the gauge layout from top to bottom following the prioritization scheme listed below.
The following are exceptions to the priority list:
• If AUX/Tip tanks are configured and at least one digital gauge is configured with a red/yellow
alert, this gauge will take the top slot
• The Fuel Flow gauge will always be placed in the fourth slot (near the fuel quantity) unless it is
unmarked with an alert and four other gauges are marked with a red/yellow alert

Figure E-7 Strip Gauge Diagram
All alerting (i.e., red or yellow markings) gauges must be shown on the Main EIS page of the EIS display.
Some aircraft may have more alerting gauges than the GI 275 can display on a single EIS unit. If not all
alerting gauges can be configured for display on the Main EIS page, the original gauges must be retained.

190-02246-14 GI 275 STC EIS & MFD Installation Manual


Rev. 14 Page E-6
E.2 AUX EIS Page
The AUX EIS page is divided into four sections: top, bottom, middle left, and middle right. This page
provides supplemental EIS gauges and information. The top arc segment as well as the bottom segment
with Fuel Quantity are unchanged from the Main EIS page. No red/yellow alerting gauges can be
configured on the AUX EIS page without being displayed on the Main EIS page as well.
The middle left section of the AUX EIS page provides two miscellaneous fields that may be populated
differently depending on the EIS sensors displayed and gauge markings configured. The top field is a user-
selectable field for miscellaneous information.
The bottom field is reserved for digital gauges or another user-selectable field for miscellaneous
information. If AUX/Tip tanks are configured, as well as digital gauges, this space will display the digital
gauges (up to four). If more than two digital gauges are configured with or without AUX/Tip tanks, the
digital gauges will all be displayed in this field (up to four), even if the information is repeated from the
Main EIS page. Refer to Figure E-8 for examples.

Figure E-8 Left Side Aux Gauges Examples


The middle right section of the AUX EIS page provides two user-selectable fields for miscellaneous
information if no unmarked strip gauges are displayed on the AUX EIS page. If there are unmarked strip
gauges that do not fit onto the Main EIS page due to other priorities, these gauges will populate the middle
right of the AUX EIS page. Up to four strip gauges can be displayed on the AUX EIS page. One strip
gauge will replace the lower user-selectable field. Two or more strip gauges will replace both user-
selectable fields and will populate the gauges from the top down based on the strip gauge priorities. Refer
to Figure E-9 for examples.

Figure E-9 Right Side Aux Gauges Examples


The bottom of the AUX EIS page has the full-time center position for Fuel Qty, OAT, or Time, with spaces
for digital gauges on the left and right. If unmarked digital gauges cannot be displayed on the Main EIS
page due to other gauge priorities (such as AUX Fuel), they will be displayed on the bottom-left and
bottom-right, beginning with the higher priority digital gauge on the left. Refer to Figure E-10 for
examples.

Rev. 14 Page E-7
E.3 CHT/EGT Page
The CHT/EGT page is dedicated to CHT and EGT information, as well as Primary EGT or TIT, if
applicable. Similarly to the Main EIS and AUX EIS pages, the top section displays full-time gauges and
the bottom center area displays fuel quantity.
The bar graph on the CHT/EGT page will populate with 4 or 6 pairs (depending on engine configuration)
of CHT and EGT bars for each cylinder. If TIT sensors are installed and configured on the GI 275, then
one or two (depending on configuration) bars for TIT will be displayed on the right-hand side of the CHT/
EGT page. Alternatively, if a Primary EGT sensor is installed and configured, a bar for Primary EGT will
be displayed on the right-hand side of the CHT/EGT page. There is also a space below the CHT/EGT bar
graph where Fuel Flow is displayed, if installed and configured.

Figure E-11 CHT/EGT Page Examples


The CHT/EGT page can be cycled through three different modes that change display aspects of the CHT/
EGT bar graph for different pilot operations, such as Lean Assist or viewing cylinders in Normalized
layout during cruise.

Rev. 14 Page E-8
E.4 Fuel Page
If a Fuel Flow sensor is installed and configured, a Fuel page is available on the GI 275 EIS. Similar to the
AUX EIS and CHT/EGT pages, the top and bottom of the Fuel page retains the same full-time gauges and
fuel quantity gauges. The Fuel page will show Estimated Fuel and Endurance based on the Fuel Flow
sensor data. It will also show the Fuel Flow gauge with the fuel computer “fuel used” value.

Figure E-12 Fuel Page without GPS Source


Additionally, if a GPS source is interfaced with the GI 275 EIS, the Fuel page will display estimated range
and efficiency based on fuel flow sensor data and will give fuel and endurance estimates for a flight plan
waypoint if one is loaded on the interfaced GPS.

E.5 Summary Page
The Summary page provides supplemental flight summary information. Similarly to the Main EIS and
AUX EIS pages, the top and bottom of the Summary page retain the full-time gauges and Fuel Quantity
gauges. The Summary page will additionally show Aircraft Timer information, RPM, and Temperature
data, as well as Fuel and Lean data.

E.6 Gauge Markings
E.6.1 Caution and Warning Alerts
The GI 275 EIS will generate alerts for gauges with configured red or yellow markings by highlighting the
numerical value in a red or yellow background, respectively. For strip and digital readout gauges, a
flashing alert triangle is generated in the top left of the display in addition to highlighting the numerical
gauge value. This alert triangle will persist on all EIS pages. Touching the triangle will stop the flashing
and return the display to the Main EIS page. The full-time arc gauges do not generate alert banners.

Figure E-17 Caution Alert (Flashing and Acknowledged)

Figure E-18 Warning Alert (Flashing and Acknowledged)


If both a Caution and a Warning alert have triggered, the flashing Warning alert triangle will be displayed,
and each numerical gauge value will flash the appropriate color (yellow for Caution and red for Warning).
Touching the flashing Warning alert triangle will acknowledge both the Caution and Warning alerts. The
non-flashing Warning alert triangle will persist until the alert condition is no longer true, in which case the
non-flashing Caution alert triangle will be displayed as long as that alert condition is true.

If an acknowledged Warning alert triangle is currently displayed and a new Caution alert triggers, a
flashing Caution alert triangle will display in place of the Warning alert triangle. Once the Caution alert is
acknowledged, the alert triangle will default to the higher priority non-flashing Warning alert triangle.

Figure E-20 New Caution Alert with Ongoing Warning Alert


Certain gauges (Oil Pressure, Manifold Pressure, and Fuel Pressure) do not trigger alerts until the engine is
started. Gauges with red or yellow markings must be displayed on the Main EIS page. Green, blue, and
white markings do not produce alerts or affect gauge prioritization, and may be shown on the AUX EIS
page.

E.6.2 Gauge with Varying Arc Width


The GI 275 EIS display does not provide varying gauge arc width configuration options, as seen in
Figure E-21. If a gauge that contains a varying arc width is being replaced, it must be configured so that the
arc length is continuous for the intended length of the colored arc. Refer to Figure E-21 as an example.

F.1 Shielded Wire
When extending existing sensor wiring, it is required to maintain continuity of the wire shield.
For the shielded wire(s), the shield on both sides of the open segment must be reconnected after the splice
is complete with a spacing of approximately 3 inches or less in total length.
1. Use solder sleeves with an insulated shield drain to jumper the shield ends together.
2. Protect the open segment of wire with fusion tape.
3. Start the wrap by making a complete turn of the tape around the cable approximately 0.5 inches
from the repair area.
4. Overlap the preceding wrap by 50%.
5. Extend the tape over the repair area by approximately 0.5 inches.
6. Use lacing tape to spot tie the end of the fusion tape.

F.2 Lightning Zones for GTP 59
This section provides lightning zoning diagrams for various types of aircraft to facilitate correct placement
of the GTP 59. Additional restrictions related to the placement of the GTP 59 can be found in Section
4.5.2.
The zoning levels correspond to the severity of lightning strikes and probability of occurrence on the
aircraft. The order of severity starting with the safest zone is Zone 3, 2A, 2B, 1C, and 1A/1B. The GTP 59
cannot be installed in Zones 1A, 1B, 1C, or 2B.
All diagrams in this appendix use the legend shown in Figure F-2. The zoning described is split into the
following: wings, fuselage, and empennage. For the particular airframe, the applicable wings, fuselage,
and empennage zoning should be merged to get a complete zonal definition. The zoning figures applicable
to any particular model are found in Table D-1. If there is a region of overlapping zones, the more severe
zone should always be applied (e.g., if Zone 2A and 1A overlap in a region, then the overlapping region
should be considered Zone 1A). Examples of complete lightning zoning diagrams can be found in
Appendix Section F.3.

F.2.1 Wings
The different zoning for wingtips and wings are contained in the following subsections.

F.2.1.1 Wingtips
F.2.1.1.1 Aircraft Not Limited to VFR Operation

NOTE
This zoning section is applicable to those aircraft models that are not limited to VFR
operation only in Table D-1. For zoning of models limited to VFR operation only, refer to
Appendix Section F.2.1.1.2.

Zoning of various types of wingtips is shown in Figure F-3. Figure F-3A shows zoning for straight
wingtips.
Figure F-3B shows zoning for curved wingtips. The zones are similar to those of straight wingtips. The
main difference is that Zone 1 extends from the outboard edge of the wing past the tangent point of the
chord and 0.5 meters inboard.
Figure F-3C shows zoning for winglets. Note that the winglet figure shows a flattened winglet. Winglet
classifications are very similar to those of curved wingtips. The main difference is that Zone 1 extends
from the outboard edge of the wing past the tangent point of the winglet and 0.5 meters inboard.
Figure F-3D shows zoning for tip tanks. The rule that applies to tip tanks is very similar to that of the
curved wing. The main difference is that Zone 1 extends 0.5 meters past the inboard edge of the tip tank.

F.2.1.1.2 Aircraft Limited to VFR Operation
This zoning section is applicable to those aircraft models that are limited to VFR operation only in
Appendix D. For zoning of models that are not limited to VFR operation only, refer to Appendix Section
F.2.1.1.1.

NOTE
The aircraft must have a position light in the wing tip area as a prerequisite for this STC.

If there is no position light on the wing, then no Zone 3 exists and the GTP 59 cannot be installed on this
particular aircraft. For those aircraft identified as VFR only in Appendix D, the following criteria is used to
determine the Zone 3 area:
• Zone 1A/1B finishes as shown in Figure F-3 or 0.5 meters inboard from the inboard edge of the
position light, whichever is the greater distance from the outboard edge of the wing tip, as shown
in Figure F-4.
• Zone 2A/2B extends a total of 2.1 meters inboard of Zone 1A/1B.
• Zone 3 extends inboard of Zone 2A/2B from the wing tip and stops at another Zone 1A/1B or
2A/2B determined from other areas of Appendix Section F.2.2.

F.2.1.2 Landing Gear
The landing gear is considered Zone 1A. The struts that connect the landing gear to the wings are Zone 2A.
Each side of landing gear is zoned individually. If there is a single strut connecting the landing gear to the
wing, then the inboard and outboard edges of the landing gear should be used for zoning instead of using
the connection point of the wing and the strut. In addition to the zoning shown in Figure F-5, the zoning
described for the fuselage and wings also applies. The floats for a float-mounted fuselage have not been
zoned because they do not influence the zoning of the bottom of the fuselage. The GTP 59 cannot be
mounted on landing gear, including floats, or its struts.

Rev. 14 Page F-7
F.2.2 Fuselage
This section describes the zoning for several different types of fuselages. The empennage is zoned in
Appendix Section F.2.3. Aft of every Zone 2A is a 0.15 meter Zone 2B (i.e., Zone 2A is followed by a
0.15 meter Zone 2B). Although Zone 2B areas are marked on the diagrams, sometimes their widths are not
defined (0.15 meters should be used in these cases). The horizontal stabilizer of the tail is not zoned
because the GTP 59 cannot be mounted there. In addition, the GTP 59 cannot be mounted within
0.5 meters of the rear-most point of the fuselage. Appendix Section F.2.3 explains the conditions under
which the GTP 59 can be mounted on the vertical stabilizer. Although all diagrams show low-wing
aircraft, the same zoning can be applied to high-wing aircraft. The values d1 and d2 are defined as follows:
d1 = 1.3 m (51.2 in)
d2 = 2.6 m (102.4 in)

F.2.2.1 Single-Propeller Aircraft


Zoning of low- or high-wing aircraft with single propellers is shown in Figure F-6. The area of the nose
immediately aft of the propeller is Zone 3. The 0.6-meter distance should be measured from the outboard-
most edge of the fuselage or the tip of the propeller, whichever is longer. Figure F-8 shows the case of an
aircraft with a curved fuselage. The portion of the fuselage that extends 1.3 meters aft of the propeller
blades is Zone 1C. However, the bottom centerline is Zone 2A, and it is acceptable to mount the GTP 59
there.

F.2.2.2 Aircraft with Multiple Propellers
Zoning of low- or high-wing aircraft with twin front-mounted propellers is shown in Figure F-10. The text
below assumes the aircraft fuselage and wing are constructed of metal. Note that Zone 2A can overlap onto
the nacelles if they are within 0.6 meters outboard of the fuselage.
Zoning of low- or high-wing aircraft with rear-mounted twin propellers is shown in Figure F-11. The text
below assumes the aircraft fuselage and wing are constructed of metal.
For an empennage with a third engine, the GTP 59 cannot be located in the empennage. Therefore, the
zoning for this third engine area has been omitted from the diagrams below. The GTP 59 for this aircraft
should be located in Zone 3 or Zone 2A on the bottom of the fuselage and wings.

F.2.3 Empennage
If the GTP 59 cannot be mounted in other areas of the aircraft that are Zone 3 locations, it is acceptable for
metal aircraft with one of the three traditional empennages shown in Figure F-18 to mount the GTP 59 in
the Zone 2A area of the tail. However, the GTP 59 cannot be mounted on/under any non-conducting
surfaces. If the complete empennage of the aircraft being considered does not match those shown in Figure
F-18, then it should be mounted in allowed areas defined for the fuselage and wings. If only portions of the
empennage shown below match, then the same rule applies and the GTP 59 cannot be installed in the
empennage. Note that it is allowable for only the horizontal stabilizer tips to differ from those shown in
Figure F-18. The GTP 59 cannot be located in the horizontal stabilizer of the empennage. The GTP 59
cannot be mounted in the tail of a composite empennage.
