Pre-Flight
I have a quick question about ADS-B and some of the Garmin Products. Currently I have a Garmin 530A non WAAS and recently I bought and a Garmin GTX 335 Transponder on eBay (Bad idea and lesson learned, so let’s move on).
The 335 has a built in WAAS GPS and has ADS-B out so I am good for 2020. Since I am a foreflight pilot, here are the questions:
1: Since I have ADS-B OUT with the GTX 335, I use Sentry portable ADS-B IN, but I would like to get a remote solution, so I don’t have stick it to the window and deal with tangled wires. I was looking at Garmin GDL 50R. From what I read, I will be able to receive ADS-B in (Weather and Traffic) with Foreflight, but can I connect this device to the Garmin 530 and get Subscription free weather and traffic on the Garmin 530?
2: Can I connect Foreflight to the Garmin 335 via Bluetooth and get GPS position information on the iPad?
3: I think the Garmin 530 non WAAS has built-in Bluetooth (not sure), what do I need to transfer flight plans from the iPad Foreflight to the 530? Do I need some special device like the flight stream, or can we just pair the iPad with Foreflight and transfer the flight plan?
Any insight would be a appreciated.
Thanks
