Whether you’re flying around Europe, Australia (or anywhere), or just trying to stay in touch with those on the ground, these great new packages are the most affordable way to stay connected and get the weather you need to complete your mission.Get equipped today with our GSR 56 satellite link system and our award winning GTN touchscreen navigator products or G500/G600 glass cockpit systems while saving save money in the process. Packages start at around $16,500 for a GTN 650 and GSR 56 and run through April 30th, 2015! (Iridium antenna for the GSR 56 sold separately).
With Garmin's GSR 56, you can enjoy the safety-enhancing benefits of subscription based datalink weather when operating worldwide. Weather data is requested on demand using the GSR 56 satellite link. Global weather data includes Meteorological Aviation Reports (METARs) that provide current temperature, dew point, precipitation, wind speed and more, as well as Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs) that show predicted weather for up to 30 hours in advance. Throughout most of Europe, Canada, Australia, and the U.S., the GSR 56 can also receive high-resolution radar imagery, which displays in full color on the GTN systems and G600/G500/G500H series of displays.
The GSR 56, when used with the GTN navigator, can also be used to provide 2-way text messaging via SMS to any compatible mobile phone or email address along with Position Reporting information to both owners and operators, ultimately increasing safety and situational awareness. You can easily make and take calls while in flight via your aircraft’s audio/intercom system.
