Adds Garmin GTN Touchscreen Navigators As Standard Equipment

Every new WACO YMF-5D aircraft for 2013 will feature as standard equipment full ADS-B NextGen capability through the new GARMIN GDL 88 ADS-B data-link, Garmin GTN 750 and Garmin GTN 635 Touchscreen navigators, WACO Classic Aircraft announced Friday. The GTN 750 controls the standard GMA 35 remote audio panel with SD Audio, Telligence Voice Control, clearance recorder, advanced auto squelch and more, as well as the GTX 32 remote transponder.

The new Garmin GDL 88 data-link allows the now standard GTN 750 and GTN 635 to display up to 60 ADS-B traffic targets. Spoken audio alerts (“Traffic. Two o’clock. High. Two miles”) combine with Garmin’s new TargetTrend relative motion technology, to offer pilots a faster, more intuitive judging of target trajectories and closing rates in relation to your aircraft’s position.
 
Unique SURF technology supports the display of ADS-B-equipped surface targets on Garmin SafeTaxi airport diagrams – including taxiing aircraft and ground vehicles. The GDL 88 can also receive the FAA’s subscription-free FIS-B weather broadcasts that include graphical NEXRAD radar information, as well as NOTAMs, METARs, TAFs and more.
 
WACO said in a news release that "not only do the new Garmin GTN Touchscreen navigators provide a nearly unequaled level of technology and safety, they allow a very clean and uncluttered instrument panel befitting the expectations of Waco Customers."
