Garmin introduced the PlaneSync GDL 60 datalink at today’s new product introductions at the Aircraft Electronics Association Convention in Orlando, Florida. Designed to simplify sharing of aircraft data and make updating onboard databases easier, the PlaneSync connected aircraft management system is available now in new Garmin G3000-equipped aircraft such as Daher’s TBM 960 and Piper’s M600 SLS. It will also be available for retrofit.

PlaneSync is compatible with Garmin GTN Xi navigators, TXi flight displays, GI 275 electronic flight instruments, and certain Garmin integrated flight decks.
