Anyone Own a Garmin GTX 327 Transp??

My 327 is NOT linked to a panel GPS. So now I'm wondering how it knows
you've landed to switch to STBY.


If it isn't, and it isn't connected to a gear switch, it will not know
anything about landings, AFAIK. Take-off is easier, since it is the first
major altitude change since the unit has been switched on. A landing,
however, is the same as levelling off after a descent (to a very low
altitude, mostly, but so what?).

You are correct...without a GPS or something else, the 327 has no idea
whether you've landed or are flying straight and very level. So it
will switch from STBY to ALT on takeoff, but it will not go the other
way on landing. That change will have to be done manually.

I think all of that extra "work" of pushing the STBY button after
landing is more than enough justification to upgrade my Warrior and
spend $15K on an in-panel GPS! :-)

While I agree with your basic thinking g, you don't really have to
spend that much anymore on a 430.

Especially when there is no need to go to STBY in the first place.
