In relation to NE (New) parts, many OEMs change their prices and availability without any notice to dealers or the industry. Therefore, through the REQUEST or RFQ indication, we ask that customers contact us for the most accurate price and availability.

In relation to SV & OH parts, the used parts aftermarket in the aviation industry is not an infinite supply. It is a dynamic, constantly changing market that is significantly affected by and susceptible to highs and lows in supply and demand. Therefore, although we attempt to, at times, we are unable to predict the exact moment when an item may be available. Once again, through the REQUEST or RFQ indication on our website, we ask that customers contact us for the most current and accurate price and availability.

The all-in-one antenna/receiver/transmitter unit is available in 10", 12" and 18" antenna arrays. This allows it to be easily installed on a wide variety of aircraft configurations.

The GWX-70 does not have a Pilot's Guide itself, information on the operation of the GWX-70 Radar system can be found in the GTN Pilot's Guide.

Ground Clutter Suppression reduces the amount of returns due to highly reflective objects on the ground, such as buildings or cities, while maintaining the intensity and size of weather returns. This feature requires an unlock that must be purchased to be displayed on the GTN-7XX series units.

Turbulence Detection activates a feature that detects and displays severe turbulence. This feature requires an unlock that must be purchased to be displayed on the GTN-7XX series units. Turbulence Detection is inactive at ranges greater that 160 NM. If Turbulence Detection is enabled and available, Turbulence Detection will be reported as Inactive in any of the following conditions:

• Scan orientation is not Horizontal
• Scan range is greater than 160 NM
• Radar mode is not Weather

Altitude Compensated Tilt (ALT) automatically adjusts the tilt of the radar to compensate for altitude changes as you climb and descend.
