ADS-B In solution selected for G280
Available as a forward-fit or retrofit ADS-B In solution, the GDL 88 and Flight Stream 210 offer G280 aircraft operators a simple path to receive traffic and weather information via ADS-B In.
Garmin's package is available as a forward-fit or retrofit ADS-B In solution.

Gulfstream has selected a complete Garmin ADS-B In solution for its G280 business jet.

For new and existing G280s, the GDL 88 ADS-B datalink and Flight Stream 210 provide access to the benefits of ADS-B In traffic, which is correlated from multiple sources, and subscription-free Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather. This ADS-B In solution also integrates with existing TCAS systems and cockpit displays to provide a cohesive and straightforward upgrade.

The Flight Stream 210 wireless gateway can connect via Bluetooth to at least two mobile devices simultaneously, while the GDL 88 receives data from nearby ADS-B ground stations and other aircraft on the ground and in-flight. Because the GDL 88 integrates with the aircraft's existing GPS and AHRS, pilots can display GPS position data, including velocity, attitude and heading information, alongside ADS-B In traffic and weather utilising the Garmin Pilot app on iOS or Android mobile devices.

The GDL 88 and Flight Stream 210 uniquely integrate with existing avionics in the cockpit of the G280 to provide pilots with greater situational awareness. For example, ADS-B In traffic is correlated from multiple sources, including the aircraft's existing TCAS system, offering optimal traffic alerting. Enhancing the traffic picture, patented TargetTrend and TerminalTraffic can also be viewed within Garmin Pilot. Because the GDL 88 is also dual-link, operators with this solution have the capability to see more aircraft, even those operating at small reliever airports where ADS-B ground stations may not be nearby. Aural traffic alerts are also available with this solution. The display of ADS-B In traffic and weather is also available within the FltPlan Go app and ForeFlight Mobile.

Garmin Pilot also provides a comprehensive suite of tools and full-featured navigation for pilots on both iOS and Android mobile devices. A standalone electronic flight bag, Garmin Pilot also offers worldwide features such as European IFR autorouting and filing, access to Jeppesen charts, as well as Leidos Flight Service ICAO flight plan filing.

As part of this ADS-B In upgrade, Gulfstream G280 customers also receive a five-year subscription to Garmin Pilot US IFR Premium.
