WARNING: For safety reasons, this AOA System’s operational

procedures must be learned on the ground.

CAUTION: This AOA System does not contain any user-serviceable

parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service

center. Unauthorized repairs or modiﬁcations could void both the

warranty and the pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA

regulations.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including

screen images of the GI 260 displays, are subject to change and may

not reﬂect the most current GI 260 software. Depictions of equipment

may differ slightly from the actual equipment.

NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its Components contain

chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth

defects, or reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in

accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions

or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at

www.garmin.com/prop65.

NOTE: This AOA System is non-required and is to be used only as

supplemental information to the pilot. This AOA System is not to be

used or substituted for a certiﬁed stall warning system. No operational

credit may be taken for reduced approach speed and shorted landing

distances.

NOTE: The approved Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) or Airplane

Flight Manual (AFM) always supersedes this Owner’s Manual.

NOTE: Refer to the AOA System Installation Manual for calibration

instructions.

NOTE: This AOA system is designed to be accurate in the calibrated

aerodynamic conﬁguration. When the aircraft experiences changes in

the airfoil shape (e.g., ﬂap extension or icing accumulation), the AOA

indicator may no longer accurately represent the angle of attack.

AOA System Owner’s Manual

AOA System

OVERVIEW

The Garmin AOA (Angle of Attack) System is designed to improve the pilot’s

awareness of the approximate available remaining lift of the aircraft’s wings. The

system calculates the approximate AOA (acute angle between the wing chord line and

the relative wind) using pitot, AOA, and static air pressure inputs.

When correctly calibrated, the system provides a visual approach AOA reference,

as well as increasing caution and warning annunciations as the AOA approaches the

wing’s maximum coefﬁcient of lift (CLmax).

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The Garmin AOA System is comprised of three components; the GI 260 Indicator,

the GAP 26 Probe, and the GSU 25 Air Data Computer. The GAP 26 sends pitot and

AOA air pressure to the GSU 25. The GSU 25 measures the air pressure inputs from

the probe and from an independent static source. The GSU 25 then calculates the AOA

information and sends it to the GI 260. The GI 260 displays the AOA information to

the pilot via ten color-coded LED annunciators. When calibrated correctly (refer to

the AOA System Installation Manual for calibration instructions), the system indicates

AOA during critical phases of ﬂight. The system also provides awareness of AOA

trends toward the target AOA for an approach, as well as visual alerting of critical

AOA. When connected to an audio panel or compatible audio system, the GI 260

issues aural alerts of increasing frequency when the system approaches the critical

angle of attack.

MUTE

Start-Up

The system is muted by default upon start-up. The system remains muted until 15

seconds has elapsed since start-up and the Angle of Attack reaches the upper yellow

chevron. The ﬁrst slow audible “Beep-Beep” alert is heard when the upper yellow

chevron annunciator illuminates.

Normal operatioN

Press the MUTE (SET) button to mute the GI 260 audible alert. When muted

manually during normal operation, the audio alert is muted for at least 15 seconds

and remains muted until the upper green bar illuminates for at least ﬁve seconds.

NORMAL OPERATION

NOTE: Refer to the approved Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) or Airplane

Flight Manual (AFM) for recommended operational procedures.

POWER-UP

The AOA system is ON by default during power-up. During power-up, the

unit cycles its annunciators from bottom to top and back to the bottom. For

the unit to cycle its annunciators it must receive valid AOA data from the GSU

25, determine it has a valid calibration, and pass the unit self test.

ARMING OF THE AOA SYSTEM

The AOA system arms automatically when the indicated airspeed exceeds 50

knots. Visual annunciations occur immediately upon arming (if applicable). Aural

annunciations are delayed for 15 seconds after the system is armed.
