GNS-XLS
FEATURES
  • Compact, single-box full Flight Management System (FMS) providing control for aircraft's navigation sensors including built-in GPS receiver, computer-based flight planning, fuel management and frequency management
  • GPS receiver incorporates receiver autonomous intergrity monitoring (RAIM) for enhanced accuracy on GPS-derived IFR approaches as well as en route and terminal navigation
  • Uses less depth (6.5") than comparable self-contained FMS making it easier to install in pedestals
  • All flight management functions and system controls are controlled via keyboard on panel
  • Offers Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) enabling it to be used as primary means of navigation during transoceanic and remote area operations
  • Accepts position and velocity information from up to four external sensor positioning units for inputs of one dedicated Inertial Reference Sensor (IRS) input, two other inputs for IRS and one input for an Inertial Navigation System (INS)
  • Includes VORTAC position unit (VPU) processor which automatically selects best available DME/DME and VOR/DME measurements from VOR/DME, VORTAC, TACAN and ILS DME units
  • External sensor interfaces include Inertial Reference Systems (IRS) or Inertial Navigation Systems (INS)
  • Provides easy-to-use advisory Vertical Navigation (VNAV) allowing vertical portions of a flight plan such as altitude constraints, offsets and flight path angles programmed to vertical waypoints to be built in advance
  • Incorporates 24 megabit Navigation Data Bank of a comprehensive worldwide Jeppesen database including such information as SID and STAR waypoints, approaches, VHF NAVAIDS, airports and runways
  • Can maintain up to 56 flight plans in nonvolatile memory
  • Extensive bus interface capability can handle input from and output to such on-board aircraft systems such as Air Data, compass system, altitude preselector, EFIS, weather radar, autopilot, COMM and NAV radios, and fuel flow system
  • Four-channel Auto Fuel Flow feature provides information such as fuel remaining, fuel consumed, gross weight and individual engine consumption
  • Navigation features include Greenwich Date and Mean Time, Present Position Coordinates, Magnetic Variation, Stored Waypoint Coordinates, Stored Flight Plans, Departure Time/Time Over Last Waypoint, Bearing to Waypoint, Distance to Waypoint, Estimated Time to Waypoint, ETA, Wind Direction and Speed, Desired Track, Drift Angle, Ground Speed, Track Angle, Crosstrack Distance, Vertical Deviation, Range and Time to Altitude Profile Point, Estimated Crossing Altitudes, Target Altitude Range
  • Database features include all VHF NAVAIDS, all airports with hard surface runways longer than 2000 feet, all high and low altitude intersections, all on and off airway NDBs, all outer markers, runway thresholds, high altitude jet routes and low altitude airways by name, SID and STAR waypoints by procedure name, all RNAV Approach patterns
  • Available with full AFIS (Airborne Flight Information System) interface providing two-way messaging, en route and terminal, winds aloft, flight plan updates, and performance management
  • Graphical weather information display/link available through use of optional remote Data Management Unit (DMU) and Remote Processor Unit (RPU) used in conjunction with GNS-XLS
  • Available with top or bottom view, black or gray color face, white or blue white lighting
  • Can be used with VN-411B Series Nav Receiver
  • To display Terrain Maps and Flight Plan on GNS-XLS Display part number 17960-0203-00XX is required

In relation to NE (New) parts, many OEMs change their prices and availability without any notice to dealers or the industry. Therefore, through the REQUEST or RFQ indication, we ask that customers contact us for the most accurate price and availability.

In relation to SV & OH parts, the used parts aftermarket in the aviation industry is not an infinite supply. It is a dynamic, constantly changing market that is significantly affected by and susceptible to highs and lows in supply and demand. Therefore, although we attempt to, at times, we are unable to predict the exact moment when an item may be available. Once again, through the REQUEST or RFQ indication on our website, we ask that customers contact us for the most current and accurate price and availability.

GNS-XLS Part # 17960-0102-00XX with software Mod level 6 and all versions of P/N 17960-0203-00XX will channel 8.33 khz Honeywell Primus II and Collins Proline II radio systems.
In order to display terrain and other graphical information, you must purchase a GNS-XLS with the middle part number series -0203 and related required software updates. Of course, as with any multi function type display, there are other remote units and processors required to use these features. For example, you must interface a compatible Ground Proximity Warning Computer with the GNS-XLS to receive and display terrain information on the GNS-XLS. In order to receive and display graphical weather and Automated Flight Information Services (AFIS) information on the GNS-XLS, you must purchase and use an AFIS Data Management Unit (DMU) and Remote Processor Unit (RPU). The additional cost for this information interface is approximately $40000-$45000 not including any related information subscription services. The DMU purchased will also depend on the data link format that will be utilized (i.e. Aero H, H+, I or C Satcom). AFIS installations that do not include a dedicated VHF antenna require a single Antenna Switching Unit (ASU) as well.
Precision Area Navigation or P-RNAV is a further elaboration of the Required Navigation Performance (RNO) standards being set forth in Europe. Earlier standards for RNO in Europe included Basic Area Navigation or B-RNAV. P-RNAV is steadily evolving into a requirement and potential full mandate in Europe as availability to airspace for non-compliant aircraft becomes less available and more restrictive. Some of the advantages of P-RNAV capability and compliance for operators includes no-hold times, more efficient routing allowing for faster en-route times.
As of January 2007, Honeywell is not offering a WAAS upgrade for the GNS-XLS FMS. Reportedly, Honeywell determined that the current GNS-XLS hardware does not contain the necessary Input/Output to support the requirements for TSO C-146A WAAS navigation.
Many avionics systems require a configuration or setup process. This process is required to interface certain avionics systems to other systems in the aircraft that will be inputting or outputting information to and from these systems. Some examples of systems that require a configuration or setup process include:

Autopilot
EFIS
GPS
EGPWS
EHSI
RADAR
TAWS
TCAS


In addition, most newer technology or solid state systems require configuration via computer interface of some type. A qualified avionics technician should always refer to the appropriate manufacturer's installation manual for complete information and instructions.
Yes, GNS-XLS with P/N 17960-0101-XXXX can be modified to incorporate the latest Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE) and BRNAV software. Service Bulletin GNS-XLS-M2 consists of changing the software on the GPS XPRESS Board, updating the system software, and labeling the unit to indicate the change to a unit P/N 17960-0102-XXXX. If you are interested in incorporating this software into your GNS-XLS, please contact SEA Technical Dept at shop@seaerospace.com.
As of October 2010, Honeywell does not have any plans to incorporate WAAS into these units. No further details are available.

However, Honeywell is manufacturing WAAS sensors for their APEX GPS series. This series DOES NOT include any of the following: KLN-89B, KLN-90B, KLN-94, KLN-900 or GNS-XLS.
