GWX™ 68 digital color weather radar Garmin technology brings sweeping improvement to weather avoidance. GWX™ 68 weather radar specifications Bringing 4-color storm cell tracking to your compatible Garmin multifunction display (MFD), the GWX 68 digital radar is a powerful weather avoidance tool. It’s designed to interface with the Garmin MX 20 and GMX 200 panel-mount displays, as well as the G1000 and G600/G500/G500H series of glass cockpit MFDs. Excellent range and adjustable scanning profiles combine with high-definition radar target display to bring you 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 of up 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 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. In addition, all display configurations offer Garmin’s WATCH™ (Weather Attenuated Color Highlight) feature which 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 that may not fully reflect the “storm behind the storm.” There’s also an automatic Target Alert feature for the G1000 and G600/G500/ G500H lineup that looks ahead for intense cell activity in the 80 to 320 nm range, whether you’re monitoring those range displays onscreen or not. Weather data from the GWX 68 digital radar is displayed on compatible Garmin MFDs via ARINC 429/453 interface. 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 steering clear of the ugly stuff, this is the “see and avoid” system you want. A vertical scanning function on the GWX 68 lets pilots analyze cloud tops and storm gradients to see a more complete weather picture.
