Garmin selected by Gulfstream

  Today, Garmin are thrilled to announce that Gulfstream has selected and certified a Garmin Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out solution for the Gulfstream G150 business jet. This solution consists of the GTX 3000 Mode S Extended Squitter (ES) remote transponder and GDL 88 ADS-B datalink, bringing NextGen compliance to this versatile mid-sized business jet. The GTX 3000 and GDL 88 offers operators a seamless and integrated path to meet the demands of air traffic modernization initiatives around the world. WAAS/SBAS position information provided by the GDL 88 is utilized by the GTX 3000 to broadcast aircraft identity, state and intent data (DO-260B compliant) to air traffic control, while integrating with existing equipment such as TCAS/ACAS systems and transponder controllers. This comprehensive and adaptable suite compliments equipment already installed in the aircraft, streamlining the installation process. Additionally, with the capability to broadcast on both approved frequencies, the GTX 3000 and GDL 88 works to ensure visibility to all ADS-B In-equipped general aviation aircraft. As part of Garmin’s growing ADS-B portfolio, the GTX 3000 meets current compliance standards as a certified ADS-B Out solution when paired with a compatible position source such as the GDL 88, allowing this cohesive system to meet ADS-B requirements for a variety of aircraft types. With this Garmin ADS-B solution, owners and operators can satisfy global requirements and receive the benefits of ADS-B without the need to pursue costly Flight Management Systems (FMS) or cockpit display upgrades. At Garmin, they are honoured to partner with an industry leader such as Gulfstream to provide the G150 business jet with a comprehensive ADS-B solution, giving these operators an immediate path to comply with air traffic modernisation initiatives around the world.
