Garmin has launched the GRA 5500, an all-digital radar altimeter for transport category, helicopter, business and general aviation aircraft.
According to Garmin, the GRA 5500 provides smooth altitude tracking over the most challenging environments like rough terrain, tree canopies, sand and choppy water.
Carl Wolf, Garmin’s vice president of aviation sales and marketing, said, “The GRA 5500 meets the highest altitude accuracy standards only previously seen in products for transport and military aircraft, providing pilots unprecedented confidence in their actual altitude.”
The statement from Garmin explained, ‘Because of its all-digital design, the GRA 5500 is able to intelligently process hundreds of altitude measurements per second and apply advanced digital filters to help detect and mitigate false altitude returns.’
