“With the introduction of the new GDL series, we are reaffirming
our leadership position and commitment to providing pilots with the
most comprehensive in-flight traffic and weather solutions
available on the market,” said Carl Wolf, Garmin vice president of
aviation sales and marketing. “With the GDL 52, we’re excited to be
the first to bring the most economical and all-inclusive portable
receiver to pilots who want to access the benefits of ADS-B in
weather and traffic without compromising the advantages of SiriusXM
Aviation weather and audio entertainment.”
The GDL 52 combines a dual-link ADS-B and SiriusXM receiver in
one, supplying ADS-B traffic, a wide range of Flight Information
Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather products, as well as SiriusXM
Aviation weather and audio to compatible Connext® products via
Bluetooth® wireless technology or hardwired connections. The GDL 51
specifically provides SiriusXM1 Aviation weather and audio. The GDL
52/51 also receive GPS position and back-up attitude information2
for display on select portables and mobile devices.
In addition to comprehensive weather data, pilots utilizing the
GDL 52 can receive ADS-B traffic information and audible alerts to
easily identify potential traffic conflicts. ADS-B traffic is
overlaid on the dedicated traffic page, the moving map, as well as
IFR/VFR charts on compatible devices. Exclusive to Garmin products,
patented TargetTrend™ and TerminalTraffic™ further enhance the
traffic picture. TargetTrend provides pilots with a more intuitive
method of judging target trajectories and closure rates, while
TerminalTraffic displays a comprehensive picture of ADS-B-equipped
aircraft and ground vehicles throughout the airport environment on
the moving map and SafeTaxi® airport diagram.
Boasting superior battery life, a rechargeable Lithium-ion
battery allows the GDL 52 to receive ADS-B and SiriusXM data for up
to 5 hours on a single charge, while the GDL 51 can receive
SiriusXM data for up to 7 hours. Pilots also have access to the
most recent data as the GDL series continually downloads traffic
and weather information in the background - even while the display
is sleeping. Capable of wirelessly streaming data to two devices
and making hardwired connections to two additional devices
simultaneously, the GDL series offer quick and convenient access to
essential information throughout the cockpit. Remote-mount versions
of the GDL series, the GDL 52R/51R, can also be wired to external
power. The GDL 52/52R/51/51R can hardwire or wirelessly connect to
G3X Touch, the aera 660 and aera 795/796, while also
wirelessly connecting to the Garmin Pilot app.
By simply connecting a compatible Bluetooth headset to the GDL
series, pilots can wirelessly listen to audio services provided by
SiriusXM1. Volume adjustments and station selection are completed
through a compatible display. Additionally, pilots with a
compatible audio panel installed in the cockpit, such as the
GMA™ 245/245R, GMA 345 and GMA 35c/350c/350Hc may connect the
GDL 52/51 to the audio panel via Bluetooth to wirelessly access
SiriusXM audio. Audio panels with a wired music input can also
connect to the GDL 52/51 using a wired connection. Additionally, a
3.5mm audio out jack is positioned on the side of the portable
receiver to so it’s easy to connect an audio panel to the GDL
series.
The GDL 52/51 are compatible with G3X Touch, the aera 660 and
aera 795/796 aviation portables and the Garmin Pilot app on Apple
and Android mobile devices. The GDL 51/51R are expected to be
available for an expected street price of $649. The GDL 52/52R are
expected to be available for an expected street price of $1,149.
The GDL 52R and GDL 51/51R will be available next week through
Garmin dealers at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, July 24-30,
2017. Garmin dealers will be taking orders for the portable GDL 52,
which is anticipated to be available Q4 2017.

app. Both products are currently eligible for a SiriusXM Aviation
