Comant CI-429-410

Overview

Comant has developed the first and only FAA TSO'd GPS/XM antenna qualified under new, stringent C190 WAAS requirements. Using the popular ARINC 743 footprint, this WAAS GPS will operate with any DO-301 qualified WAAS GPS system providing full Gamma 2 & 3 and LPV capabilities.

The XM portion of the antenna will operate with popular panel mounted systems from Garmin and Heads Up.

Manufactured with a tough, Skydrol resistant radome and nickel plated aluminum base plate, the CI 429-410 comes standard with a Nitrile 'O' ring for positive sealing to the aircraft skin.

Not compatible with portable GPS receiver units.
