Remote options are also available for compatibility with the GTNTM 650/750 series and G1000-equipped aircraft.“For nearly 20 years, Garmin has led the development and initial deployment of various ADS-B projects, including Capstone, and today we have optimized that experience to unveil the industry’s best ADS-B solutions, now including the GTX 345 and GTX 335 ADS-B transponders,” said Carl Wolf, Garmin’s vice president of aviation sales and marketing. “With more fielded ADS-B solutions than anyone else in the industry, Garmin remains committed to make the ADS-B transition simple, beneficial and cost-effective for everyone. Regardless of what type of aircraft you fly, where you fly or what you have in the panel – Garmin has your ADS-B solution.”The GTX 345 and GTX 335 incorporate the popular 1.65-inch tall transponder height and boast a bright, sunlight-readable digital display, including pressure altitude readout, dedicated buttons for numeric squawk-code entry and a built-in timer. An option for an integrated WAAS/ GPS position source provides operators with an all-in-one solution that meets ADS-B Out requirements. The GTX 345 pairs with compatible displays to add subscription-free Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather and ADS-B In traffic, incorporating exclusive features such as TargetTrendTM and TerminalTrafficTM.The GTX345 includes a dual-link ADS-B receiver that provides pilots with a complete picture of ADS-B-equipped traffic. When paired with an active traffic system, the GTX 345 combines ADS-B traffic targets and active traffic targets to display a comprehensive traffic picture. Beyond the display, the GTX 345 may be integrated into the aircraft’s audio panel to provide ATC- like audible alerts, such as “Traffic: ten o’clock, same altitude, two miles” to help pilots keep their eyes outside the cockpitSelect Airparts Quarter Page 4/C AdLEKTRO, Inc.
