GARMIN is now able to provide flight-critical weather data to its 400 and 500 series panel mounts through the new GDL 49 Satellite Data Link Transceiver. Pilots who install the GDL 49 and subscribe to Echo Flight's weather Data Link service can have instant access to NEXRAD weather data, and METARS. Echo flight uses low earth orbit satellites to deliver weather information to the cockpit on a request basis. Weather data can be displayed in textual or graphical format, and pilots can request it at their current location, their destination, or anywhere in between. The GDL 49: revolutionizing safety in the cockpit by offering up-to-the-minute weather data. GMA 340
GARMIN's new GMA 340 audio panel meets the needs of aircraft owners and operators who require reliability and versatility in the essential audio switching function. The GMA 340 features innovative LED-illuminated push button controls that allow audio selection of both NAV and Comm audio. Large buttons activate the Comm microphone and audios for up to three Comm transceivers to simplify cockpit workload. Another feature of the GMA 340 is the Split Comm, which allows the pilot to transmit/receive on Comm 1 and the co-pilot to transmit/receive on Comm 2. MASQ™ processing reduces ambient noise from the avionics inputs. Comm transmit indication is also provided. Speaker selection is available to monitor the aircraft radios or to make PA announcements. There are two unswitched inputs for telephone ringers, altitude alert warnings, or other warning tones. In addition, the GMA 340 includes a six-place VOX intercom with three selectable modes of isolation, dual stereo music inputs, and independent pilot, co-pilot, and passenger volume control. Each microphone input has a dedicated VOX circuit to ensure that only the active microphone is heard when squelch is broken. Special cabin noise de-emphasis circuitry enhances cockpit communications. Also standard is the three-light Marker Beacon Receiver/Indicator with high/low sensitivity selection and Smart Mute™ marker audio muting. GARMIN GNS 530
The GARMIN GNS 530 represents the single biggest idea in integrated avionics in years. Traditionally, it would take a host of components to provide the capabilities represented in this one sophisticated box. It is a WAAS upgradeable IFR GPS, com, VOR, LOC and glide-slope with color moving map all rolled into one. A TSO'd VHF comm offers a choice of 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz spacing for 760 or 3040 channel configuration respectively. A huge Jeppesen database (which can be updated with front-loading data cards) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSS, Approach, SIDs/STARs and SUA information. The GNS 530 makes practical use of this information with features like intelligent frequency nomination. The brilliant colors of the GNS 530's 5" display make the pilot-critical information easy to read and interpret. It's especially true of the 530's basemap. You enjoy enhanced situational awareness by seeing your position relative to cities, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes and coastlines. But even more important, the appropriate use of color separates land data, terminal areas, route, and approach information for easy pilot scanning and reduced pilot workload. Simply put, the GNS 530 incorporates advanced procedure types usually found only in high-end FMS systems. The GNS 530's intuitive software and logical layout prove that this is a system built for pilots, by pilots. So much information. So easy to use. The GNS 530. It'll change the way you look at avionics. GNS 430
The GNS 430 is the most versatile panel-mounted product GARMIN has produced to date. It combines GPS navigation, VHF communication, and moving map graphics on a big color display. This "all in one box" 12-channel unit offers IFR GPS, ILS, VOR, LOC and glideslope capability in a single, space-saving package. Many boxes offer some of the same features as the GNS 430, but it's the integration of so many functions that sets this latest aviation product apart. The GNS 430, which is designed as the first in a line of new aviation products, has plenty of growth potential as it is designed for WAAS compatibility. The GNS 430: combining all the navigation capabilities necessary today with all known and defined technologies of the future. GTX 327
With the introduction of the GTX 327 solid-state Mode C digital transponder, GARMIN revolutionizes a part of the panel that has been long overlooked. This full-featured, TSO certified transponder brings a unique level of functionality and utility to your airplane. Its solid-state transmitter provides 200 watts nominal power output and eliminates the need for a cavity tube which, when it fails, will be expensive to replace. And since the GTX 327's design is 100 percent solid state, there's lower power consumption, much lower heat emission, and no warm up time—all of which translates into a longer service life. Some of the GTX 327's biggest features are the easiest to see. Among them, the easy-reading DSTN Liquid Crystal Display which reverses the numbers out of black for optimal viewing. The numeric keypad makes entering a squawk code a snap, and a dedicated VFR button allows for quick-and-easy 1200/VFR squawking. The GTX 327 also offers important timing and display functions such as flight time and count-up and count-down timers, as well as current pressure altitude. Together, these features represent a whole new standard in transponder utility.
GTX 320
GARMIN introduces a full-featured, compact, panel-mounted Class 1A transponder. The GTX 320's solid state transmitter provides 200 watts nominal power output, eliminating the need for a cavity tube that can degrade with time, fail, or require expensive replacement. 100 percent solid state also means no warm up time, reduced power consumption, and heat for longer service life. Extensive utilization of surface mount technology provides shallow depth and light weight which simplifies installation in the tightest spaces. 14- or 28-volt operation is available without the requirement for external voltage converters or dropping resistors. The GTX 320 fits into existing installations of selected Narco and King transponders using optional adapters for simple, cost-effective upgrading. A single board design allows for ease of serviceability and simple, standard, four-knob tuning. Also included is an extensive one-year warranty. The GTX 320 transponder—another high-value, compact, reliable product from the avionics industry innovator: GARMIN.
