Garmin GWX 68 Radar
Bringing 4-color storm
cell tracking to your compatible Garmin
GMX 200,
MX20,
G600,
G900X
or G1000,
the GWX 68 digital radar is a powerful weather avoidance
tool.
It combines excellent range and adjustable scanning
profiles with high-definition target display — for
reliable, easy-to-interpret, real-time weather analysis.
Available with either a 10-inch or 12-inch phased array
antenna, the GWX 68 fits a wide variety of aircraft
radome configurations. The compact, all-in-one
antenna/receiver/transmitter unit saves space and
simplifies installation. Also, to keep your weather
picture tracking smoothly during climbs or turns, the
system offers full radar stabilization to 30 degrees of
pitch and roll (when interfaced with your aircraft’s
analog gyro or AHRS system.)
To focus radar scanning on the areas you want to
watch, the GWX 68 offers pilot-adjustable horizontal
scan angles from 20 to 90 degrees. What’s more, the
system also includes a vertical scanning function to
help you analyze storm tops, gradients and cell buildup
activity at various altitudes.
Other helpful technologies include:
- Extended Sensitivity Time Control (or STC) logic
that digitally integrates weather attenuation and
distance compensation, so cells don’t suddenly
appear to loom larger as they get closer.
- Garmin’s new WATCH™ (Weather Attenuated Color
Highlight) feature (G1000 installations only)
identifies the “shadowing” effects of short-range
cell activity — highlighting areas where radar
signals are weakened, or attenuated, by intense
precipitation (or large areas of lesser
precipitation) and may not fully reflect the “storm
behind the storm.”
- Automatic Target Alert feature (G1000
installations only) that looks ahead for intense
cell activity in the 80 to 320 nm range, whether
you’re monitoring those range displays on screen or
not.
With 6,500 watts of pure magnetron muscle, this unit
has more than enough power output to penetrate serious
weather. So, as a pilot, you’re equipped to make smarter
decisions sooner.
The Garmin GWX 68: When it comes to weather
avoidance, this is the “see and avoid” system you want.
