Garmin Brings FAA Data Comm To Market Through GTN 750Xi Series Certification

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) "FAA Data Comm has quickly become a useful way for pilots and flight crews to communicate with air traffic control. With thousands of GTN 750Xi navigators installed, many more aircraft owners will now be able to easily upgrade their aircraft to receive the Data Comm capability, further demonstrating Garmin's commitment to constantly bring new solutions to our existing products and installation base."

Departure and enroute clearances

With over 60 airports equipped with Controller Pilot Datalink Communications Departure Clearance (CPDLC-DCL) for departure clearances, FAA Data Comm enables the ability to automatically load the route of the departure clearance into the avionics, mitigating read-back errors and allowing for faster departures at busy airports. When properly equipped, other clearance items such as frequencies, transponder codes, and altitudes can be pushed and pre-set into the avionics as well, reducing workload and reducing the potential for errors in loading.

Enroute FAA Data Comm is available across the United States above 16,000 feet MSL, as all air traffic control centers are now Data Comm capable, allowing the controllers to easily communicate clearances such as frequency changes, altitudes, routing and more.

Using their GTN 750Xi series navigator, pilots also have the ability to request clearances such as shortcuts along route, direct fixes for weather, altitude changes, heading changes and more, directly from their avionics.

In addition to using Data Comm via the GTN 750Xi navigators, pilots can opt to integrate one or more TXi flight displays to enhance their Data Comm experience. The GTN 750Xi series navigator is able to push altitudes, baro settings and other bugs via Data Comm clearances and load prompts, streamlining workload. These bugs are synced across TXi primary flight displays when multiple units are installed, creating harmony across the cockpit in two-crew aircraft.

Data Comm is available with the GTN 750Xi series navigators using a new Data Comm enablement along with a GDR 66 datalink radio. Additionally, Data Comm annual subscriptions can be purchased via Garmin . For more information, visit Garmin/aviation.
