Garmin GDL® 52 - 010-01561-20

Garmin GDL® 52 is a compact portable SiriusXM®/ADS-B receiver that links compatible apps and devices with weather, traffic, SiriusXM audio entertainment, GPS position and altitude information. It gives pilots a single portable source for subscription-free FIS-B weather in the U.S. alongside SiriusXM aviation weather services and ADS-B traffic data.

Layered Weather Access

Use subscription-free FIS-B weather in the U.S., including animated graphical weather, METARs, TAFs and winds. SiriusXM aviation weather adds ground-to-air coverage across the continental U.S., its coastal regions and southern Canada.

Dual-Band Traffic Reception

Receive ADS-B position reports from nearby aircraft through both 978 UAT and 1090 ES. Compatible apps and devices can present traffic targets visually and audibly, while compatible Garmin products can display TargetTrend™ information.

Shared Wireless Connectivity

Weather Ready When Needed

GDL® 52 can queue weather data while a connected display is sleeping or turned off, allowing updates to load automatically when the screen returns. SiriusXM audio entertainment can be heard through a Bluetooth headset or a wired device connected to the 3.5 mm port, with volume and station selection available through Garmin Pilot or select aera devices.

Portable Power And Position

The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides a typical operating time of 5 hours. The receiver can also remain connected to power through microUSB or the included 12-volt adapter cable, while its built-in GPS receiver provides aircraft position data and its AHRS supplies backup attitude reference to a compatible display.

Display And Wired Options

Along with Bluetooth® connections, the 18-pin connector and a data/power cable support wired integration with G3X Touch™ flight displays and compatible aera devices. External GPS, ADS-B and SiriusXM antennas can also be connected, and GDL 52 can simultaneously support up to 2 wireless display devices and 2 wired display devices.
