This manual provides installation guidance, but does not provide any approval, which may be required in some cases, to install these devices in an aircraft. This manual is not a substitute for an approved airframespecific maintenance manual, installation design drawing, or complete installation data package. Attempting to install equipment by reference to this manual alone and without first planning or designing an installation specific to your aircraft may compromise your safety and is not recommended. The content of this manual assumes use by competent and qualified avionics engineering personnel and/or avionics installation specialists using standard aviation maintenance practices in accordance with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations and other relevant accepted practices. This manual is not intended for use by individuals who do not possess the competencies and abilities set forth above.
NOTE
Garmin recommends installation of the GDL 5X/5XR by a Garmin-authorized installer. To the extent allowable by law, Garmin will not be liable for damages resulting from improper or negligent installation of the GDL 5X/5XR. For questions, please contact Garmin Product Support at 1-888-606-5482.
The Garmin GDL 50/50R/51/51R/52/52R products are not TSO-certified products and have received no FAA approval or endorsement. These products can provide the following data: GPS, SiriusXM weather/ audio, ADS-B traffic and weather, attitude and pressure to compatible displays and audio devices via Bluetooth® wireless technology and/or over wired connections.
The GDL 52/52R data link products include internal WAAS-enabled GPS, dual-band ADS-B & SiriusXM receivers, and attitude & pressure sensors. The GDL 51/51R product provide the same functionality except for the dual band ADS-B receiver. The GDL 50/50R products provide the same functionality except for the SiriusXM receiver.
The GDL 5X provide these functions in a portable form factor that includes applicable internal GPS/SXM/ADS-B antennas, and an internal battery. The GDL 5XR products are remote mount versions that require external antennas and power connections. No battery is provided in the remote mount versions.
The GDL 50/50R/52/52R receives Traffic (ADS-B/ADS-R and TIS-B) on both Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) and 1090 ES (Extended Squitter) frequency bands. When in range of a ground station, these units will receive FIS-B weather over the UAT link.
The GDL 5X/5XR products provide this information to Garmin® units like the aera 660/795/796, G3X Touch displays and devices running Garmin Pilot™. These products will request this information over a Connext® data connection. Please see additional information in the pilot's guide for your display.
