Why put off until 2020
what you can put to good use today?
Yes, there’s a deadline for U.S. compliance on ADS-B: January 1, 2020
1
. But smart pilots aren’t waiting ’til
then. They know that with ADS-B ‘In’ capability – the kind provided by Garmin’s GDL 88 – they can use
the system RIGHT NOW TODAY to access free graphical weather data and traffic uplinks on their GTN
™
or
GNS
™
series avionics. Spoken audio alerts (“Traffic. Two o’clock. High. Two miles.”) help focus “eyes out”
scanning. And Garmin’s exclusive TargetTrend
™
relative motion traffic display and SURF technology for
monitoring ground ops provide even more incentive
2
. To get the details, see your Garmin dealer.
Or check out our ADS-B Academy site online.

Other countries have ADS-B deadlines as well. See Garmin.com/ads-b for dates and details.
2
See Garmin website or dealer for details on data and display compatibility. TargetTrend and SURF functions available on GTN 750/650 series.
Future support for G1000 is planned.
