Default ADSB

I think you guys are missing my point, I was being a bit sarcastic (in a fun way of course). I don’t plan on running around with my transponder off. I’m just saying for the benefit of all the naysayers out there complaining about not having an anonymous mode. I just don’t see all the worry about the FAA seeing you. I kinda like having people know I am flying my experimental.

The whole point of my post was to reinforce the easy process to take advantage of the FAA debate and a minor point of not dwelling on the lack of a stealth mode.

With the new 335 I am seeing a LOT more traffic than I used to with just the GDL 39 3D ADSB-in.

I am doing an install right now and am planning for a GDL 82 installation. I therefore am installing a GA 35 antenna on the exterior of the aircraft and am placing a circuit breaker in the panel for it to be two steps ahead when the units ship. I cannot find any installation instructions for the GDL 82. What is the recommended circuit breaker for the GDL 82 in a 14V RV type aircraft for a wire run less than 6'?

Also, where can I find more information about the software or app for setting up the GDL 82?

Jim

Read the last post in THIS thread by Bob Nuckolls. According to his opinion, a 5 amp fuse should be good. Just guessing, a 3 amp circuit breaker will probably work too for the GDL 82.

Default Garmin GDL 82

I am wondering if Garmin will actually start selling the GDL-82 units and if the price will be as advertised?

Hi Jim,

I emailed Garmin a few weeks back and asked the same question. The reply I got was.....

Good Afternoon,

The install manuals shows a 5A breaker, but please note that this is an example. Circuit breaker size depends on wire length and gauge. Refer to AC 43.13-1B for further guidance from the FAA. Chapter 11 covers aircraft electrical systems and section 4 specifically covers circuit protection.


I then asked about the minimum length for the antenna cable for the GA35 antenna and was told.....

We need the cable loss to be between 1.5 and 6.5 dB:

1.5 dB equates to about 6.5 feet with connectors on each end.

So the cable run should be at least 6.5 feet.


I'm installing the GDL-82 as well and have the required CB installed and RG-400 cable ready to go when they finally ship these unit.

Shawn

Default GDL 82 with GTX 330?

I thought I had found my ADS-B answer - then I downloaded the GDL 82 install manual - on page 1-5 I read " the GDL 82 should not be installed with a Mode S transponder".
My RV has a Garmin GTX 330 (non ES) which I think is a Mode S. Does this mean they are not compatible? Why?
Thank You!

Default Gdl-82 install

Any problem with installing the gdl-82 behind the panel, next to the transponder?

Just this past Monday I finalized my installation. Here is a pic of my installation location. I actually ended up moving the GDL82 about 1-1.5 in further aft than this picture displays. The instrument you can see just aft of the GDL82 is an SL30 nav/com. Directly below that, out of view, is the Garmin 327 transponder. You can see in the pic the GPS antenna is sitting on the dash underneath the windscreen. everything worked flawlessly for the performance check flight. Sent off for my FAA rebate Monday night and received confirmation that "the check is in the mail".
