Some Limited Edition A5 aircraft are equipped with a Garmin GTR 20 communication radio, a Garmin GTX 45R Mode S ADS-B Out/In transponder, a Garmin G3X Touch™ flight display, and an ACK E-04 406 MHz emergency locator transmitter (ELT).

The VHF radio, supplied by Garmin, allows two-way communication and the monitoring of two frequencies at the same time. The GTR 20 remote transceiver is installed remotely inside the left-hand side of the nose of the aircraft and is controlled through the Garmin G3X Touch™ display and the push-to-talk buttons on both the pilot and passenger control sticks. The antenna with VHF radio is located on top of the horizontal tail of the aircraft. For more details on operating the communication radio via the Garmin G3X Touch™ display, see the following document which is supplied with your aircraft: Garmin Part Number 190-01754-00 Rev. M - Garmin G3X Touch™ Pilot's Guide (Section 4 CNS Interface).

The GTX 45R, also supplied by Garmin, is a remote mounted Mode S transponder with ADS-B in and out capability. It is installed inside the left side of the nose of the aircraft next to the VHF radio, and is controlled through the Garmin G3X Touch™ display. The antenna for the transponder is located on top of the engine cowling. The antenna for the GPS position source is located on the crossbeam. For more details on operating the transponder and utilizing the information provided by ADS-B In, see Garmin Part Number 190-01754-00 Rev. M - Garmin G3X Touch™ Pilot's Guide (Section 4.11 Remote Transponder Interface).

The Garmin G3X Touch™ flight display offers primary flight display (PFD) functionality as a backup system to the A5 standard gauges, dynamic moving map capability for navigation/situational awareness, and an engine indication system (EIS) display intended for both backup system purposes and more in depth monitoring of engine parameters.

The ELT, supplied by ACK Technologies, is installed below the center console and sends out a distress signal when manually or automatically activated. The ELT can be manually activated through the remote control located on the left-hand side of the overhead console. The antenna for ELT is located on the engine cowling aft of the transponder antenna.
