Additional features include GTX 3000 & TCAS
II control/display and more
Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN),
today announced the addition of new capabilities and enhancements
for the popular GTN 650/750 touchscreen navigators. New GTN
features include visual approach guidance, control and display of
the GTX 3000 transponder and GTS 8000 Traffic Alert and Collision
Avoidance System (TCAS II)/Airborne Collision Avoidance System
(ACAS II), as well as LNAV+V approaches without Space-Based
Augmentation System (SBAS) service. These new capabilities are
enabled by a free1 software update, bringing even more feature
enhancements to new and existing GTN 650/750 navigators.

“We continue to expand the utility of the GTN 650/750
touchscreen navigators by bringing advanced FMS functionality, like
visual approaches, to further benefit the pilot,” said Carl Wolf,
Garmin vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “In addition
to an expanded feature set within the GTN, we’re providing business
aircraft with a better, more economical path to ADS-B compliance,
WAAS/LPV/FMS capability, along with a feature-rich MFD. As we
continue to serve business and general aviation, the
GTN 650/750 prove to be the go-to solution across all
segments.”
Visual approach guidance
Visual approach guidance is now available within the GTN
650/750, which provides advisory vertical guidance in visual flight
conditions based on a published glide path angle or a three-degree
glideslope from the threshold of the runway, while considering
terrain and obstacle clearance. When selecting a visual approach,
pilots can choose the runway of intended landing and select vectors
for the final approach intercept to assist them in flying a
stabilized approach. When a flight plan is loaded, the GTN will
also provide a shortcut to optionally load and activate a visual
approach when the aircraft is within 5 miles of the destination
airport if an approach is not already selected. By utilizing visual
approach guidance within the GTN, pilots are provided a more stable
descent and precise flight path throughout the approach and landing
phases of flight while operating in visual conditions.
ADS-B capability for TCAS II-equipped aircraft
Aircraft equipped with select third-party TCAS II/ACAS II
systems can pair a GTN 650/750 navigator with a GTX 3000 Mode-S ES
transponder, which now offers display2 and control capability, as
well as a simplified and economical path to ADS-B compliance and
WAAS/LPV approaches. Additionally, GTN navigators can display and
control the GTS 8000 TCAS II/ACAS II system from the touchscreen
display. Traffic information is overlaid on the moving map, as well
as the dedicated traffic page. When paired with the GTS 8000,
Garmin’s patented TargetTrend™ technology provides pilots with a
more intuitive method of judging traffic trajectories and closure
rates. The integration of Garmin’s patented CLEAR CAS™
(Correlated Location Enhanced ADS-B Receiver Collision Avoidance
System) also uses a blended surveillance method of active
interrogation and passive reception of 1090 Extended Squitter (ES)
ADS-B data, reducing active interrogations by using intruder
position data received via ADS-B-equipped aircraft.
LNAV+V approaches without WAAS/SBAS
Pilots operating into airports throughout the world that are not
served by WAAS/SBAS can now receive advisory vertical guidance
(LNAV+V) while flying LNAV approaches with the GTN 650/750. By
taking advantage of the advisory glideslope offered by the GTN,
pilots can more easily fly a stabilized descent while flying LNAV
approaches.
Improved Connext® interface
Aircraft that are equipped with a GTN 650/750, GTX 345
all-in-one ADS-B transponder and Flight Stream 510, can
now receive attitude information through a single Bluetooth®
connection via Flight Stream 510.
These new features are expected to be available in May from
Garmin Authorized Dealers for hundreds of aircraft makes and
models. The free1 GTN software upgrade is supported by Garmin’s
award-winning aviation support team, which provides 24/7 worldwide
technical and warranty support. For additional information, visit
