When you install the RSM (Remote Sensor Module - Magnetometer), you have the option during time of order to mount externally on the top or bottom of the aircraft.
Per the manufacturer, an IFR approved panel mounted GPS is needed. IFR GPS does not need to be WAAS.
Yes, an IFR approved panel mounted GPS (does not have to be WAAS)
The E5 does not have to be installed by a dealer but does have to be installed by a A&P when being installed in a certified aircraft.
No, as the GPS transponder is for ADS-B out, where Aspen requires an IFR panel mounted GPS source
No. Per the manufacturer you will require an IFR GPS source such as a GNS430W or a GTN 650, etc.
The ACU is an Analog Converter unit. This integrates the Aspen E5 older analog systems.
Yes. It will accept one VOR source.
There is no added cost for it to be put in a certified aircraft. The E5 is a STC’d product. If interested, there is a version where you can upgrade to the PFD Pro Max, and that is TSO’d.
