DESCRIPTION
Information hereafter supplement or replace those of the standard airplane described in Section 7 ”Description” of
the basic Pilot’s Operating Handbook when the airplane is equipped with the option ””GARMIN” GSR 56
WEATHER DATALINK AND SATELLITE PHONE”.
"GARMIN" GSR 56 weather datalink and satellite phone system provides airborne low speed datalink and voice
communication capability to "GARMIN" G1000 system excluding any voice mail function. GSR 56 weather
datalink and satellite phone system contains a transceiver that operates on the Iridium Satellite network.
The weather information are displayed on the MFD (GDU 1500) maps and on the PFD (GDU 1040) inset map.
The satellite phone interface is embedded in the MFD : Phone communication and SMS can be received and sent
through the dedicated pages on the MFD.
Although it is possible to leave a message when calling the aircraft, as voice mail communication is not supported
by the GSR 56 :
-
it is not possible to access the GSR 56 voice mail from the aircraft
-
there is no indication on the G1000 system when a new message has been left on the GSR 56 voice mail.
The controls for the MFD are located on both the MFD bezel and the MFD control unit (keyboard GCU 475).
The telephone audio including the incoming call ringing is controlled by the TEL button on the GMA 1347 audio
panels and can be played in the pilot, front passenger and passengers headphones.
