for the Embraer E135/E145 and Legacy 600/650
Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd.

the air transport and defense markets, the GPS 3000 is designed as
a WAAS/SBAS position source for select Flight Management Systems
(FMS). Aircraft that are eligible to utilize the GPS 3000 as an
ADS-B position source include the Embraer E135/E145 and the
Legacy 600/650. Supplemental Type Certification (STC) for the
GPS 3000 in these aircraft is currently available from FTI

“Garmin continues to lead the industry with the most fielded
ADS-B solutions that span all segments of aviation, including a
wide-range of commercial, defense, regional and business aircraft,”
said Carl Wolf, vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “We
are thrilled to provide these aircraft with a solution that is
cost-effective and is an easy to install alternative to the
existing avionics manufacturer’s service bulletin.”
A rugged, standalone and certified Wide Area Augmentation System
(WAAS)/Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) GPS, the GPS 3000
meets DO-160 and DO-178B standards and is designed specifically for
the harsh environmental conditions encountered by commercial
aircraft. This compact and remote-mount solution utilizes enhanced
WAAS/SBAS GPS satellite signals to provide precise position data
through a standard interface. It also meets applicable
high-integrity ADS-B position source standards, including TSO-C145d
Class 3.
The GPS 3000 is also designed to interface with select FMS to
support GPS guidance throughout terminal, enroute and approach
navigation1. When configured appropriately, the GPS 3000 is
capable of providing position information to an existing FMS to
meet requirements for Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and can
support GPS-based vertical approach navigation, such as Localizer
Performance with Vertical (LPV) approach guidance.
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) STC of the GPS 3000 in
the Embraer E135/E145 and Legacy 600/650 is available from FTI
Engineering, in cooperation with Atlas Air Service, as well as
Garmin dealers. FAA validation of the STC is pending. For
