“Garmin is the market leader in installed ADS-B solutions and
with the GDL 82, we’re excited to give customers another
budget-friendly and straightforward path to compliance that is
quick and easy to install,” said Carl Wolf, Garmin vice president
of aviation sales and marketing. “With 29 months left to meet the
requirements of ADS-B Out and the steadily increasing backlog of
ADS-B installations at many avionics shops, we’re committed to
providing our customers with solutions that are backed by our
well-established lineage in ADS-B and superior product quality that
pilots have come to know and expect from Garmin.”
Becoming rule-compliant and avoiding the cost of modifying the
existing aircraft panel is important to many aircraft owners. The
GDL 82 provides pilots with a minimally intrusive ADS-B Out
solution that doesn’t require any panel modifications. Installation
is quick and easy because the GDL 82 boasts a patent-pending
installation design, which is installed in-line with the aircraft’s
existing transponder wiring and antenna to transmit the necessary
ADS-B Out information.
The GDL 82 also contains AutoSquawk interrogation technology,
which interfaces with most Mode C general aviation transponders to
synchronize the squawk code between the transponder and the GDL 82,
eliminating the need to install a separate dedicated UAT control
panel. This technology eases the burden of manually keeping two
squawk codes in sync while in flight, reducing pilot workload.
The GDL 82 broadcasts on the 978 MHz frequency, providing a
rule-compliant ADS-B Out solution for aircraft operating below
18,000 feet in the United States. The WAAS GPS receiver that is
required for ADS-B compliance is built-in and offers additional
cost-savings for aircraft owners without an existing WAAS GPS on
board their aircraft. For thousands of aircraft owners, the GDL 82
is a comprehensive solution that meets regulatory requirements and
provides pilots with a simple upgrade path to achieve ADS-B
Out.
Pilots who already utilize an ADS-B In receiver such as the GDL
52, GDL 39/GDL 39 3D and Stratus line of portable solutions can
receive additional benefits as the GDL 82 compliments many existing
products on the market. With ADS-B Out participation, pilots using
these products have access to a more comprehensive ADS-B In traffic
picture, resulting in improved situational awareness.
The GDL 82, which includes a WAAS antenna and installation kit
is expected to be certified and available in Q4 2017 for an
expected street price of $1,795. To learn more, visit the Garmin
exhibit at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, July 24-30, 2017.
