TIS-B/FIS-B, Traffic/Weather Compatible displays
 
I was ready to jump on the ADS-B bandwagon at Oshkosh this past year until I discovered that I would not be able to display that info on the G3X that I was planning to install. As it turns out Garmin "appears" to want to keep customers locked into the current XM system (which I currently use) rather than giving them the option to switch to ADS-B weather.

As my shop ramps up for ADS-B installations, it appears the biggest obstacle to the install will be diplaying the traffic/weather data and with so many folks jumping on the G3X bandwagon lately, I have to ask, have any of you asked Garmin about their plans for this?

And for those of you that currenty have ADS-B installed what are you using to display the info?

Yes I have seen that, but I think that page hasn't been updated in a while. Has anyone found any other options (like ipad which I don't own and prefer not to have to carry so I can get free weather)?

Has anyone asked Garmin about their plans to change their protcol/policy to allow weather on the G3X?

ADS-B

I don't have ADS-B installed yet but plan on it early this summer. On the Dynon forums, the company indicates that there next major update will be able to display weather from "several" ADS-B sources.

They can currently display traffic but not weather. I want both ADS-B IN and OUT so it looks like the Navworx transceiver will be the best solution for what I'm trying to accomplish. If you are only looking for ADS-B IN, the Dynon transponder will cover this base for you.

Hope this helps

I already have TIS-A from my GTX330 and doubt I will be upgrading it to ES. The UAT is the way to go for sure and it looks like another panel upgrade is inline (which rules out the G3X) so I can get the TIS-B/FIS-B displayed without carrying additional devices!

I am also in the process of evaluating the FreeFlight systems.

If you talked to me at Oshkosh, you heard me say that ADS-B weather and traffic is planned for G3X in 2012. Compatible receivers will be announced in the future, and that's all I can say about it for now.

cheers,

GRT Avionics
 
Hi Walt,

GRT Avionics has been able to see TIS-B/FIS-B data for almost a year now. We have more and more customers taking advantage of this capability using the Navworx product.

I can only speak for myself but having "ATC" weather and traffic on the GRT Avionics display (3D traffic coming soon) is priceless.

From a consumer standpoint I trust all the EFIS companies will incorporate it. Like synthetic vision, it is nice to have for the VFR pilot and a must have for the IFR pilot.

Best regards,

Carlos Fernandez

Just the opposite. If you want only ADS-B OUT, to be legal for 2020, then the Dynon Mode-S transponder works. Dynon does not have an ADS-B IN solution. See http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yab...1321045092/new

I use the Radenna SkyRadar receiver and the Adventure Pilot iFly. Dan

Thanks for the correction.

The Dynon transponder features TIS traffic and ADS-B OUT.

Hadn't had my cup of coffee yet this morning ;)
