      Angela MorenoAug 30, 2025
      If VHF navigation information disappears from the G5 HSI display when a GAD 29/29B is installed, first verify there is a Green Check by A429. Check the ARINC 429 wiring between the G5 and the GAD 29/29B. If the LED indication is ‘No Light’, verify the circuit breaker, power and ground wiring. If the LED indication is ‘Steady Green’, inspect and verify the CAN Bus wiring. If problems continue, replace the GAD 29/29B with a known good unit.

      If a Red-X appears in the heading field on your Garmin G5, start by checking for magnetic anomalies while taxiing. Investigate whether any new equipment has been installed on the aircraft. Select the Device Information page, choose MAG, and confirm a Green Check by MAG. Inspect and verify the CAN Bus wiring between the G5 and GMU 11. As a last resort, replace the GMU 11 with a known good unit.
