Cessna to Offer XM Weather and Radio
Cessna has just completed certification of the Garmin GDL 69A Data Link Receiver featuring XM WX Satellite Weather (FIS) and Radio. Production incorporation of the GDL 69A system will start in late July for all Cessna Single Engine Piston NAV III Avionics installations (excluding the 172 GA aircraft). Cessna is also aggressively working on the release of the retrofit kits for all NAV III aircraft currently in the field. The first set of Cessna Service Bulletins is expected to be mailed in early August. XM weather products will be available for the 48 continental US states.
