Garmin GAE12 encoder

GAE12
Altitude Encoding Made Simple

In addition to their other capabilities, the GTX3x5 series transponders can also be paired with an optional Garmin altitude encoder to satisfy data transmission requirements for IFR. As opposed to other transponders, the Garmin altitude encoder mounts separately on the install rack. So, should the transponder ever require removal, there’s no need for the static line to be disconnected, which, in turn, eliminates the need for a follow-on leak check. This digital altitude encoder is also easy to set up and to calibrate. All these feature therefore help minimize ongoing service costs.

This altitude encoder comes already included in the “GTX335 with GPS & GAE12 kit”. All other models require this to be added separately.
