Garmin ready for satellite-based ATC system
Three new Garmin Traffic Systems (GTS) are meant to fit seamlessly into the future satellite-based air traffic control system.
The GTS 800 (40 watts) has an interrogation range of 12 nm; the GTS 820 (250 watts) reaches 40 nm, and the GTS 850 (also 250 watts) meets the FAA’s TCAS certification criteria.
The GTS series includes a 1090 MHz receiver for ADS-B “in” signals and a Garmin GTX 330/33 “extended squitter” for “out” signals.
Garmin also is offering a wide array of antennae designed to avoid blind spots in coverage.
The GTS 800 has a retail price of $9,995; the GTS 820 will sell for $19,995, and the GTS 850 will cost $23,445. The GTS units are expected to be available later this year.
Only a matter of time....competition rules!
So, there you go! TCAS AND ADS-B 1090ES Rx
