GNS530

The Real Sim Gear GNS530 is a physical replica of the Garmin GNS 530 GPS navigator control bezel for use in home cockpit builds and flight simulation setups. The GNS 530 is a larger unit than the GNS 430 and includes additional COM2/NAV2 controls alongside the main GPS functions. The replica front panel replicates all physical controls of the GNS 530 including the dual concentric knobs, function keys, and navigation buttons.

The unit connects via USB to the simulation PC and interfaces with GNS 530 simulation in X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator. Knob turns and button presses on the physical panel translate in real time to the corresponding simulation avionics functions. The GNS530 replica is intended for desktop or panel-mount use alongside a simulation monitor displaying the GNS 530 screen output.

Manufactured by Real Sim Gear in Canada for simulation use only. Has no connection to actual Garmin aircraft avionics. Dimensions and mounting provisions are in the product documentation. See also the GTN650 and GTN750 for the touchscreen navigator equivalents in the Real Sim Gear lineup.
