Has anyone used the Garmin GL 39 ADS-B receiver in a sailplane? Is there any IGC approved recorder that interfaces with the GL 39?


GDL 39? And I don't follow the question.

The GDL 39 does not talk to anything you would normally find in a sailplane cockpit. Not for traffic or using its GPS for IGC logging etc. But why do you even need GPS for an IGC recorder today? Most flight recorders have internal GPS receivers, and if you want one approved to any IGC standard well it will have it's own receiver. Do you mean traffic display or flight computer with a traffic display? instead of flight recorder?

And which country are you in? That make a world of difference to anything you expect ADS-B to do.

If you are in Europe especially PowerFLARM with 1090ES In is the way to go if you want a ADS-B receiver with best sailplane cockpit avionics compatibility.
