Operators of many of Garmin’s G1000 avionics suites can now upgrade their systems to meet the ADS-B requirements set for implementation in 2020. The company has matched its GDL 88 ADS-B box with the integrated avionics suite as well as several other systems.

The GDL 88, which is part of Garmin’s Vantage ADS-B suite of products, replaces the G1000’s GDL 90 ADS-B transceiver and provides the required ADS-B Out capabilities for customers flying in United States airspace below 18,000 feet. ADS-B In traffic, Nexrad and metars displayed on the G1000 are derived from Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather.
