Surveillance for Busy Airspace
IFR-certified 250 W transponder Optional 1090 MHz ES broadcast technology Easy-to-read LCD display Traffic Information System (TIS-A) alerts on compatible displays Pressure altitude, dedicated VFR squawk button and more A panel-mounted Mode S digital transponder series with traffic datalink capability and dedicated pushbutton keys for squawk code selection, the GTX 330 family brings ATC aircraft surveillance to new levels of precision, reliability and performance. Leading the Way to ADS-B with Optional ES Upgrade Optionally available with available ES, or Extended Squitter, technology the GTX 330 takes the lead in providing an affordable pathway to ADS-B compliance for the Next Generation airspace system. Using precise GPS-referenced positioning information, the extended squitter technology enables transponders to automatically transmit more accurate, and more useful, traffic surveillance data — including aircraft flight ID, position, altitude, velocity, climb/descent, and heading information (compared to traditional Mode S and Mode C transponders, which can only broadcast altitude, and thus require ground-based radar to correlate and identify the aircraft's position). Do I have an ES transponder? Does it meet current ADS-B "Out" requirements? To understand if your GTX 330 is an ES version, pay attention to the splash screen when your avionics are being powered on. You'll see either "GTX 330" or "GTX 330 ES." This should make it clear which version you have. The same is true of the remote GTX 33. It should be noted that the GTX 23 is only available with an ES. GTX 330 GTX 330, Extended Squitter version If you do not have an ES version, an upgrade is available starting at $1,200. For customers with an existing ES transponder, an update to meet the ADS-B requirements will be free of charge. However, some labor and handling charges may apply. Your Garmin dealer can make arrangements for this upgrade. Upgrading Your GTX Existing GTX ES transponders need to have their software updated before they are ADS-B compliant. You can get this upgrade right from your authorized Garmin dealer. Upgrades from a non-ES transponder to an ES transponder will require your dealer to ship the unit back to Garmin for the upgrade. Will the GTX 330 ES, GTX 33 ES or GTX 23 ES transponders display traffic via the FAA’s TIS-B ADS-B uplink? The ES transponders currently have the capability to uplink the FAA’s TIS-A traffic (consult the question below regarding differences between TIS-A and TIS-B traffic). There are currently no plans to update the transponder to uplink from TIS-B. Traffic in Simulcast Certified to TSO-C166b authorization for 1090 MHz extended squitter transmission, the ES upgrade improves upon the existing transponder query system while working seamlessly with existing ATC protocols. The ADS-B reports provide ground controllers with considerably faster updates than traditional radar. And by simultaneously broadcasting this information to TAS or TCAS equipped aircraft, it enables them to essentially see the same traffic picture for their location that ATC is watching on the ground. Thus, with everyone in the ADS-B loop watching and reacting to the same flight trajectories, safe separation is far easier to maintain. Quality Shows Through All the features of the standard GTX 330 transponder are retained in the ES version: Solid-state design, 250-watt transmitter, remote ident and auto standby, altitude monitor with voice alerts, TIS-A traffic interface, and an easy-to-read LCD display that reverses its numbers out of black for optimal viewing in all lighting conditions. A dedicated VFR squawk code button makes entering the numbers quick and easy. And a variety of useful timing and display functions include flight time, count-up and count-down timers, plus current pressure altitude. The GTX 330 can also be used to satisfy the European mandate for Mode S level 2 surveillance. And an antenna diversity option is added with the GTX 330D for improved air-to-air surveillance of TCAS-equipped aircraft flying above you.

Future Audis may time traffic lights for you
Tue, 11 Mar 2014Here's a trick efficiency-chasing hypermilers have been using for years: spotting the cycles of stoplights from 100 to 200 yards out and letting the car coast up to the light just before it turns green, then carrying on without ever letting the car come to a complete stop. These hypermilers, along with professional truck drivers, do this because they know that accelerating from a standstill burns the greatest amount of fuel, and because letting a car coast up to the light with the automatic transmission downshifting by itself is easier on the transmission than stomping on the brakes right beneath the stoplight. Oh, and it's easier on the brake pads as well.
Renault Nepta concept (2006): first official pictures
Thu, 07 Sep 2006By Phil McNamara First Official Pictures 07 September 2006 04:30 The lowdown Renault's renewed assault on the premium car sector begins today, with this luxurious Nepta showcar. It's a vast, opulent convertible, designed to waft you across continents as if the golden age of motoring hadn't been superseded by the budget airline revolution. The Nepta is Renault's attention-seeking concept for this month's Paris motor show.
It looks like Aston Martin could be getting AMG/Mercedes platforms too
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Mercedes/AMG platforms would make the Lagonda SUV a reality We’d been expecting Aston Martin to get access to Mercedes platforms ever since the Lagonda SUV – based on the underpinnings of the Mercedes GL - arrived in all its ‘beauty’ in 2009. The Lagonda SUV was met with wails of anguish from lovers of Aston Martin’s timeless beauty but, despite the horror at the looks of the SUV, the prospect that Aston Martin could be heading down a collaboration route with Mercedes was welcome. It was welcome because without the support of a major car maker – and access to its technology – Aston Martin would have little chance of a bright future; there is no way a minnow like Aston Martin could afford the development cost of new engines and platforms.
