SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
Pilot’s Guide
The Garmin GDL 84/88 Pilot’s Guide, part number and revision listed below,
contain additional information regarding GDL 84H/88H system description,
control, and function. Cockpit Reference Guides and Pilot Guides for interfaced
displays provide additional operating information.
GDL 84/88 ADS-B Transceiver Pilot’s Guide
P/N 190-01122-03 Rev E or later
Mode 3/A Code, IDENT, and Emergency Status
Mode 3/A Code, IDENT, and Emergency Status data that is included in the
ADS-B OUT message is obtained automatically by the GDL 84H/88H. No pilot
action except normal use of the transponder is required.
Flight ID
Flight Identification will default to the aircraft registration. If interfaced with a
Garmin transponder or GTN an alternate Flight ID can be entered via those
interfaces and will automatically be updated at the GDL 84H/88H.
Transmitted Air Ground Status
The ADS-B OUT message includes the air/ground status of the rotorcraft.
Rotorcraft which do not have a Radar Altimeter OR GNS or GTN display
interfaced to the GDL 84H/88H will transmit “in air” any time the collective is
raised. Rotorcraft which have a Radar Altimeter OR GNS or GTN display
interfaced to the GDL 84H/88H will transmit “in air” any time the height above
the surface is more than 25 feet or groundspeed is in excess of 15 knots.
Pressure Altitude Broadcast Inhibit
For rotorcraft with an interfaced Garmin GTX 33/330/32/327 or SL 70
transponder the broadcast of pressure altitude is controlled by the transponder
mode. Turning the transponder to ALT will also broadcast pressure altitude in
the ADS-B output. Turning the transponder to ON will inhibit pressure altitude
from being broadcast.
For rotorcraft without a Garmin GTX 33/330/32/327 or SL 70 transponder
pressure altitude broadcast is controlled via a separate switch or interfaced GNS
or GTN display.

Traffic Sources and Alerting
The GDL 84H/88H is capable of receiving ADS-B, ADS-R, and TIS-B traffic
reports in order to track traffic around the rotorcraft and provide alerts to the
flight crew to aid in visual acquisition and avoidance.
Traffic alerting is provided via a visual annunciator and audio callouts for these
alerts.
Rotorcraft which have a Radar Altimeter OR GNS or GTN display interfaced to
the GDL 84H/88H will truncate traffic aural alerts to not include bearing,
distance, and relative altitude information when less than 200 ft above the
surface. Additionally, the GDL 84H/88H will reduce the protected volume
around these rotorcraft when operating below 200 ft above the surface and less
than 60 kts groundspeed to minimize nuisance alerts in the airport area while
still providing traffic alerts on other eligible ADS-B OUT equipped aircraft.
Aircraft which are ADS-B participants transmitting on the 1090 MHz band do
not transmit altitude while in the on ground state and thus will not generate
traffic alerts until becoming airborne.
Due to some aircraft not being required to equip for ADS-B Out, as well as the
nature of TIS-B, its service volumes, not all traffic will be tracked by the GDL
84H/88H. This is much like an active traffic system which does not track non-
transponder equipped aircraft. The flight crew must use “see and avoid”
procedures to visually acquire and avoid other aircraft.
On Scene Mode (OSM)
Rotorcraft which have a GTN display interfaced to the GDL 88H have the
ability to use On Scene Mode (OSM). OSM reduces the protected volume
around the rotorcraft for alerts that would be produced by other ADS-B
equipped helicopters. OSM must turned ON and OFF by the pilot using the
controls in the MENU of the GTN’s traffic page and is intended to be used when
intentionally operating in close proximity to other helicopters for activities such
as ENG. OSM does not affect the protected volume for other airplanes or non-
ADS-B equipped helicopters.
Interfaced Active Traffic System (Optional, GDL 88H Only with GTN)
When an active traffic system is interfaced with a GDL 88H, the GDL 88H
receives traffic from the active traffic system and attempts to correlate – or
match – this traffic with ADS-B traffic the GDL 88H has received and is already
tracking. When a correlation is made, the active traffic system or ADS-B target
with the most accurate information is displayed to the flight crew. Any active

traffic system or ADS-B traffic that is not correlated will also be displayed for
the flight crew. The correlation of traffic by the GDL 88H ensures that only the
most accurate, and no duplicate, traffic targets are displayed for the flight crew’s
situational awareness.
In addition, the GDL 88H will use its air-ground logic or inputs to automatically
switch the active traffic from Standby to Operate when transitioning from
ground to air, and from Operate to Standby when transitioning from air to
ground.
If the GDL 88H fails then external traffic device data is no longer sent to the
display.
When interfaced to an active traffic system, traffic alerts are provided as
follows:
Alerts will be provided by the TCAS system for targets tracked solely
via TCAS AND targets that tracked via TCAS and ADS-B which are
correlated.
Alerts will be provided by the GDL 84H/88H for targets that are
tracked solely by ADS-B.
The optional interfaced display’s Pilot’s Guides and supplements provide
additional information regarding the functionality and control of the traffic
device.
Power
Power to the GDL 84H/88H is provided through a circuit breaker labeled
“ADS-B”.
External Switches
External switches may be installed in conjunction with the GDL 84H/88H.
