The 530W Series comes standard with Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)
capability and may be ordered with or upgraded to Class B Terrain Awareness and
Warning System (TAWS-B) capability.
GTS™ TAS and
TCAS I Systems The GTS 800 series of traffic avoidance products combines active and passive
surveillance data to pinpoint specific taffi theats. The sstes use Gais patet-

broadcast (ADS-B) with radar targets. The GTS 800 TAS is a lower-cost system, offering
40 watts of transmit power and a range of up to 12 nautical miles. The GTS 820 TAS
delivers 250 watts of transmit power and up to 40 nautical miles of interrogation range.
The GTS 850 TCAS I satisfies all TCAS I collision avoidance criteria for higher-capability
turboprops and jets. It features the same 250 watt performance as the GTS 820, and
also eets the FAAs TCAS I etification criteria
GI-102A & 106A Course deviation indicators (CDIs). The GI-106A features an instrument landing system
receiver to aid in landing.
GMA 240, 340 & 347 The GMA 340 is a feature-rich audio panel with six-place stereo intercom and
independent pilot/co-pilot communications capabilities. The GMA 347 has automatic
squelch, digital clearance recorder, and a full-duplex telephone interface. The GMA 340

GTX™  & D FAA-certified Mode S transponders with data link capability, including local air traffic
information at FAA radar sites equipped with Traffic Information Service (TIS). These
transponders may also be optionally upgraded to provide 1090 MHz Extended Squitter
(ES) transmission capabilities, which will increase situational awareness once the
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) system is fully implemented.

requirement for a Mode S solution that meets the reduced certification requirements
for the VFR Mode S mandate.
GDL 90 The GDL 90 was the first airborne Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)
product certified by the FAA to TSO C145A standards. The GDL 90 allows pilots in the

Safe Flight 21 program. This program is currently under development with
implementation of the ground-based portion of the ADS-B network taking place along
the East Coast and other selected areas of the U.S.A. Additional installations of the ADS-
B ground stations are planned. The ground stations can track aircraft movement and
eventually are expected to be used to broadcast traffic and weather services. Pilots
equipped with the GDL 90 and operating within the ground station coverage area will
receive aircraft traffic and real-time weather information free of charge.
