| 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.

it comes to weather avoidance, this is the “see and
avoid” system you want.
