The RealSimGear® GNS530 is a high quality, ultra realistic hardware interface for your flight simulator.  The RealSimGear® GN530 matches as close as possible to the real thing, including ultra realistic silicone buttons and replica knobs.  It is the best way to learn the functionality of the Garmin 530, much more realistic than using the mouse or a touch screen. 

Product Features:

  • Fully functional knobs and tactile silicone buttons
    We have replicated the feel and function of the Garmin 530 knobs and buttons, allowing you to learn how to easily navigate the menu system, load a flight plan or approach procedures.
  • Change your comm radio frequencies quickly and easily
    No more fumbling with the mouse.  The  RealSimGear ® GN530 allows for the development of muscle memory and improves proficiency needed for instrument flying.
  • Make your sim training more effective
    And representative of real world flying.
  • Desktop or panel mount
    This product can be mounted in an existing panel or used with our desktop stand.  Great for flying students, pilots and home cockpit builders
  • Fully assembled
    No assembly, 3D printing, soldering etc required

This product is especially helpful for learning and practicing instrument flying procedures. When coupled with virtual ATC like PilotEdge or VatSIM, this provides the most realistic simulation possible. This allows you to develop familiarity with the Garmin 530 interface and controls so you can be better prepared for actual lessons with your CFII.

This unit features it's own 5" LCD screen that is used to display the Garmin 530 pop out screen from your flight simulator program. 

** This system is NOT compatible with Mac due to driver and screen handling issues with MacOS.  This will require a PC to work.

  • X-Plane 11 or 12 (Windows only NO Mac support)
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS)
  • GNS530 Navigator
  • USB cable
  • Power supply adapter

** Note, requires 1 X HDMI connection to your computer.  HDMI cable is NOT included.

Nice gadget

I have been using the GNS530 for a few months now and it is really a nice gadget greatly improving my flighsim exprience. The first device that I got had malfunctioning large right rotary knob. RSG accepted the claim even when I have to say there was quite a long waiting for the feedback what exactly they would do. Afterwards all worked flawlessly. They sent me a new device. They helped me a lot with local customs (zero value for the replacement was a problem). Both deliveries were super fast considering that they had to go accross half of the world. So now I am only enjoying the gadget:)

Essential for IFR Practice

Couldn’t ask for more. Would like to see more products from Real Sim Gear eg. air/vertical speed indicator, Tach, attitude indicator, heading indicator, and turn coordinator, so I can put together a representative panel.

Great Replica of the Real GNS530

No problems connecting and using the GNS 530. I wish MSFS2020 had more of the real functionality to use more of the features because this product makes the 530 very easy to use in flight.

This equipment is amazing! High quality and adds so much to my flying! I am more than happy with my purchase! Have not hooked up the 530 yet. To busy flying the G1000. I am a commercial pilot with instrument rating. I am also 82 years young. Thank you so much!
