Garmin is now able to provide flight-critical weather data to its 400 and 500 series panel mounts through the new GDL 49 Satellite Data Link Transceiver. Pilots who install the GDL 49 and subscribe to Echo Flight's weather Data Link service can have instant access to NEXRAD weather data, and METARS.

Echo flight uses low earth orbit satellites to deliver weather information to the cockpit on a request basis. Weather data can be displayed in textual or graphical format, and pilots can request it at their current location, their destination, or anywhere in between.
