8.15 POSITION REPORTING
NOTE: An account must be established with Garmin Connext to make full use of the Position Reporting
feature.
The Position Reporting feature allows the system to send position reporting information to a provider, such as
FlightAware.com.
The position reports can be activated or deactivated by the pilot. While active, the position reports are
transmitted over the Iridium Short Burst Datalink periodically at a pilot specified interval or by pressing the SEND
RPT Softkey. The minimum automatic transmission period between reports is two minutes with more frequent
transmissions possible via manually sending reports with the SEND RPT Softkey. During voice communications
and data transfers the Iridium datalink is occupied and position reports will not be sent. During this period the
reports will buffer and be sent as a package as soon as the link is available. The position reports are received by
Garmin Connext and forwarded to select flight tracking provider(s).
To reduce excess usage, position reports are only transmitted while the aircraft is in the air.
The following are position reports contents:
• Tail Number
• Time
• Latitude/Longitude
• Ground Speed
• Ground Track
• Heading
• Barometric Altitude
• True Airspeed
• Outside Air Temperature
• Destination
• Estimated Time Enroute (ETE)
• Airborne Status
The Airborne Status field is the indication that the aircraft is on the ground or in the air at the time the position
report was generated. The avionics generate a position report when the Airborne Status field changes state.
• Passenger Onboard
Passenger Onboard indicates passengers are on the aircraft at the time the position report was generated. A
position report is generated when the Passenger Onboard field changes state.
