This week, Garmin announced its GTX 345 and GTX 335 all-in-one ADS-B transponders that include dual-link ADS-B In and extended squitter (ES) ADS-B Out, with options for built-in WAAS.
Starting at $2,995, the ADS-B compliant transponders integrate with Garmin Pilot and ForeFlight Mobile apps as well as numerous Garmin displays, including select G1000 integrated flight decks, the GTN 650/750, GNS 430W/530W, G500/G600 and more.
On compatible displays, the GTX 345 shows ADS-B In traffic, FIS-B weather and GPS position data and back-up attitude information, while the GTX 335 acts as an all-inclusive ADS-B Out solution.
“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.
The GTX 345 and GTX 335 incorporate the common 1.65-inch-tall panel-mount transponder form factor, making it easy to replace other popular transponders. Remote options are also available for GTN 650/750 series and G1000-equipped aircraft.
“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,” said Wolf. “Regardless of what type of aircraft you fly, where you fly or what you have in the panel — Garmin has your ADS-B solution.”
