Access ADS-B traffic and subscription-free weather on your aviation
portable or mobile device with the GDL 39 ADS-B receiver. When using
Garmin Pilot™
on your mobile device, the GDL 39 can provide highly accurate WAAS GPS
data, while the GDL 39 3D can also provide backup attitude indication.
Comprehensive Aviation Weather
GDL 39 features ADS-B “In” datalink technology that allows it to
receive subscription-free Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B)
weather information over the FAA’s 978 MHz Universal Access Transceiver
(UAT) uplink. Easily access animated NEXRAD radar, METARs, TAFs, winds
and temperatures aloft, PIREPs, NOTAMs and more right on your compatible
Garmin aviation portable or through the Garmin Pilot app on your iPad®
or Android™ device.¹
Spot Potential Traffic Threats
GDL 39 can receive ADS-B position reports directly from other
aircraft in your vicinity. Because the FAA permits ADS-B broadcasts on 2
frequencies (978 UAT and 1090 ES), GDL 39 contains both receivers so
you can see a comprehensive view of all ADS-B “Out” equipped targets.
The compatible display² will alert you by announcing traffic targets
both audibly and visually. Spoken audio alerts announce “Traffic,
Traffic” to get you looking right away.
ADS-B “In” technology also allows the GDL 39 to receive Traffic
Information Service-Broadcast (TIS-B) information. TIS-B allows you to
view the same dynamic traffic picture that ATC ground controllers are
seeing when you're either participating with an ADS-B “Out” solution or
within a certain range of another ADS-B “Out” participating aircraft
when within a service area.³ Our correlation technology automatically
displays the highest-integrity traffic data from multiple sources,
preventing ghost or duplicate targets.
Advanced Display Capabilities
With Garmin Pilot on your mobile device, you can receive advanced
traffic display features like TargetTrend™ relative motion tracking that
provides a faster, more intuitive way of judging target trajectories
and closure rates in relation to your aircraft's position. TargetTrend
relies on ADS-B “Out” equipped targets, so while not all targets will
display with trajectories today, this feature will be come increasingly
beneficial to pilots in the future. SURF technology also supports the
display of ADS-B-equipped surface targets on your map screen.
More Accurate GPS
GDL 39 can provide highly accurate WAAS GPS location information to
your mobile device — such as an iPad® — using Bluetooth technology. This
provides your device with the precision you’d expect from our
aviation-grade navigation devices, updating at a rate of up to 5 times
per second depending on the capability of the device used.
Go Wireless
With built-in Bluetooth® capability, GDL 39 can wirelessly send the
data it collects to devices running Garmin Pilot, as well as the aera®
795/796. GDL 39 collects and stores all available traffic and weather
data in your vicinity so it can be available as soon as you turn on your
display. It's capable of simultaneously providing wireless data to 2
devices while hardwired to a third. As opposed to using a Wi-Fi® link,
Bluetooth® lets you stay connected while on the ground so you can
continually receive the latest weather reports as long as you have a
data connection — no manual switching of networks required. Just set it
up once and it will automatically remember and pair with your mobile
device the next time you hop in the cockpit.
If wireless connectivity is not an option with your device, a wiring
harness can be included with your GDL 39. The device can go up to 5
hours between charges with an optional battery, and a cigarette lighter
adapter comes included for onboard power. As technologies continue to
develop, software updates will be available through your aviation
portable via Garmin Pilot and a separate utility app on your mobile
device using the Bluetooth® connection.
