THE GARMIN GWX 68 COLOR WEATHER RADAR SYSTEM
The optional Garmin GWX 68 color weather radar is a 4-color digital
pulsed radar with 6.5 kilowatts of output power. The Quest KODIAK
®
uses
an underwing pod mounted 10 inch phased array antenna stabilized to
accommodate 30° of pitch and roll. To focus radar scanning on specic
areas, Sector Scanning offers pilot selectable horizontal scan angles of 20°,
40°, 60°, or 90°. A vertical scanning function helps to analyze storm tops,
gradients, and cell buildup activity at various altitudes.
The radar data is displayed on the G1000 multi-function display (center
screen). The radar functions are controlled through the MFD soft keys and
rotary knobs. Available modes are Standby, Weather, Ground Map, and
Vertical Scan. Range may be selected with the G1000 MFD range knob.
Antenna tilt and gain may be adjusted for particular needs. WATCH and
Weather Alert functions are provided to give pilots more weather information.
See the Garmin G1000 Integrated Flight Deck Pilot’s Guide for further
information.
