"As the industry champion in ADS-B solutions, a number of business
aircraft operators continue to approach Garmin for an ADS-B upgrade path,
" said Carl Wolf, vice president of aviation marketing and sales.
"Alongside our valued partners, we are progressively developing
solutions that are tailored to each airframe and their particular
operations and we are thrilled to provide a wide-range of business
aircraft with an economical ADS-B In/Out solution designed to exceed
operator expectations."
Garmin's suite of ADS-B solutions provides business aircraft owners and
operators with a cost-effective and timely ADS-B upgrade path. Seamless
integration between existing equipment such as TCAS systems and
transponder control heads alleviates the need for costly legacy system
upgrades. Garmin's economical solutions satisfy global ADS-B
requirements while providing pilots and crew with a familiar interface
to the upgraded system.
Garmin ADS-B solutions are certified and currently available for the
following aircraft through the subsequent partners:
-- Learjet 60; Butler Avionics
-- Cessna Citation 550/560; Columbia Avionics & JetTech LLC.
-- Gulfstream G150/G200; Gulfstream Service Centers
Garmin continues to work with select Garmin Authorized Dealers to
approve additional ADS-B solutions via Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC) in the following aircraft, which are pending certification and
will be made available to the Garmin Dealer Network:
-- Learjet 35A; Butler Avionics
-- Beechjet 400A/Hawker 400XP; Elliott Aviation
-- Hawker 750, 800A/XP*, 850XP, 900XP; Elliott Aviation
-- Hawker 1000; Elliott Aviation
-- Premier I/IA; Stevens Aviation
Garmin's ADS-B solutions consist of several configurations that are
optimized for each individual aircraft type. Basic configurations
consist of the GDL(R) 88 ADS-B datalink and GTX 3000 Mode S Extended
Squitter (ES) transponder. The GTX 3000 leverages the GDL 88's internal
WAAS/SBAS receiver to broadcast aircraft identity, state and intent
information (DO-260B compliant) to air traffic control and provides
operators with a cost-effective WAAS position source. Adding Garmin's
Flight Stream wireless datalink to these solutions offers crewmembers
quick and easy wireless access to beneficial Flight Information
Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather and Traffic Information
Service-Broadcast (TIS-B) information on approved mobile devices in the
cockpit (available on select aircraft). On qualifying airframes, the
addition of the GTN(TM) 650/750 touchscreen GPS/NAV/COM/FMS provides
additional capabilities, including access to fully coupled WAAS/LPV
approaches, electronic charts and more.
Garmin expects to announce additional aircraft and partners as we
