Garmin GDL® 52/52R

Garmin Portable

Providing an easy-to-use satellite link with GPS position data and backup attitude (AHRS) , the compact and portable GDL® 52 or the remote mount GDL® 52R SiriusXM receiver combine SiriusXM Aviation service coverage — accessible from ground or air — with the free weather and traffic features of an ADS-B “In” datalink. Together, these two network link technologies bring a world of safety-enhancing features, plus access to more than 150 channels of digital-quality music, news, sports and other entertainment programming directly to your cockpit. (Entertainment only available with Garmin Pilot app) Better still, you can use the Connext® wireless connectivity to stream this information onto multiple devices including the Garmin aviation portables (including aera® 760, aera® 660, aera 796 or aera 795 series), G3X Touch™ flight displays, as well as iPad® tablets and mobile devices with the Garmin Pilot™ app. GDL 52® is also compatible with ForeFlight. So you get more access, on more devices, without spending more money.

SiriusXM Aviation data service elements are updated at multiple rates. Dynamic elements like radar and lightning are updated every 2.5 minutes (twice as fast as ADS-B), while other more stable data elements are updated every 60+ minutes. It's important to note that there are two variables at work with our broadcast weather service: data update rates and transmit intervals. While a product source may be updated every 30 minutes, the same data may be transmitted every 5 minutes to ensure your display is up to date. SiriusXM worked with its avionics partners to arrive at the optimal cadence of updated data and transmit intervals to ensure customers receive critical information in a timely manner.

I live/fly in Canada - where can I purchase SiriusXM Aviation weather service?

SiriusXM Aviation coverage area includes southern Canada. Canadian residents can subscribe to SiriusXM Aviation at siriusxm.ca/aviation.
