The GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D is unique in its ADS-B In capability since it can receive data link information from both 1090 ES transponders and UATs. Thus, the GDL 39 / GDL 39 3D receives traffic information directly from any ADS-B Out aircraft within range as well as the rebroadcast of ADS-B information from any nearby GBT.
Fly Plan WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display. Overview WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering.
Plan Overview Fly TRAFFIC DESCRIPTION ADS-B traffic operation is similar to other traffic systems, but ADS-B adds additional symbology. The symbols used to display ADS-B traffic are shown in the table below. The traffic identifier and altitude are displayed below the traffic symbol.
