Expanded Eligibility of ADS-B In/Out Solutions for Popular Business Aircraft

We are pleased to announce the availability and the addition of several popular business aircraft to a comprehensive aircraft model list, which are eligible for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) solutions through select members of the Garmin Authorized Dealer Network. Our suite of ADS-B solutions address the market’s desire for a cost-effective ADS-B In/Out solution among popular business aircraft, while leveraging existing equipment to minimize cost and installation time associated with an ADS-B upgrade.

Our suite of ADS-B solutions provides business aircraft owners and operators with a cost-effective and timely ADS-B upgrade path. Seamless integration between existing equipment such as TCAS systems and transponder control heads alleviates the need for costly legacy system upgrades. These economical solutions satisfy global ADS-B requirements while providing pilots and crew with a familiar interface to the upgraded system.

Our ADS-B solutions are certified and currently available for the following aircraft through the subsequent partners:

• Learjet 60; Butler Avionics 

• Cessna Citation 550/560; Columbia Avionics & JetTech LLC. 

• Gulfstream G150/G200; Gulfstream Service Centers 


We continue to work with select Garmin Authorized Dealers to approve additional ADS-B solutions via Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) in the following aircraft, which are pending certification and will be made available to the Garmin Dealer Network: 


• Learjet 35A; Butler Avionics 

• Beechjet 400A/Hawker 400XP; Elliott Aviation 

• Hawker 750, 800A/XP*, 850XP, 900XP; Elliott Aviation 

• Hawker 1000; Elliott Aviation 

• Premier I/IA; Stevens Aviation

Our ADS-B solutions consist of several configurations that are optimized for each individual aircraft type. Basic configurations consist of the GDL® 88 ADS-B datalink and GTX 3000 Mode S Extended Squitter (ES) transponder. The GTX 3000 leverages the GDL 88’s internal WAAS/SBAS receiver to broadcast aircraft identity, state and intent information (DO-260B compliant) to air traffic control and provides operators with a cost-effective WAAS position source. Adding our Flight Stream wireless datalink to these solutions offers crewmembers quick and easy wireless access to beneficial Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather and Traffic Information Service-Broadcast (TIS-B) information on approved mobile devices in the cockpit (available on select aircraft). On qualifying airframes, the addition of the GTN 650/750 touchscreen GPS/NAV/COM/FMS provides additional capabilities, including access to fully coupled WAAS/LPV approaches, electronic charts and more.
