NAV/COM Radio
The Garmin SL30 was selected for its compact layout in combining nav and com capabilities, robustness and integration features. It provides a full-functioned navigation and communication ability for the FLS Microjet. Powerful 760-channel VHF comm transceiver and 200-channel VOR/LOC/GS nav receiver with DME display into one small space. Besides traditional nav/comm features, SL30 also incorporates workload-reducing functions such as automatic decoding of the Morse code station identifier for VOR/LOC/ILS, most-used frequency storage in unit memory, built-in course deviation indicator and more.
SL30 is the only panel-mount nav/comm with a standby frequency monitoring feature providing the capability of two nav/comms in one. With the primary VOR/LOC frequency providing guidance to your HSI or CDI, the standby frequency can be tuned to a second VOR to display the current radial on which your aircraft is flying. This allows you to cross check position fixes with just one receiver.
The Horizon HX EFIS interfaces the SL30 to provide direct standby frequency transfer from its navigational database and HSI capability. Our HOTAS control system includes capability for PTT and COM frequency flip-flop. In combination with its other avionics equipment, the SL30 enables the FLS Microjet to meet IFR equipment requirements.
