Why is the ESG less complicated than a 335? Both have built-in WAAS and both require the addition of an external GPS antenna. My question was to fobjob but you can answer it. But since I have zero Garmin stuff in my 7ECA, that wasn't a consideration. And to me at least, the Appareo Stratus ESG is less complex and easier to use than the Garmin GTX-335.īut don't get me wrong - both units are fine devices, and if I had an all-Garmin stack, I would probably have gone with the GTX-335 just to keep it consistent and to have "one neck to wring" when things go wrong. There's one less "box" involved versus the solution you linked to, which adds a GDL-82 and GPS antenna to the existing installation (transponder and transponder antenna).īut that wasn't what I referred to when I was talking about "less complex" - I was looking at it from the user's standpoint, and the menu structures and keystrokes to get to things you want to do with the device. How does Appareo solve the WAAS requirement differently than Garmin?Stewart, It does require adding a separate WAAS GPS receiver and antenna.

Nothing beats a good set of eyes out the window! That would be nice for Alaska, but with a low compliance rate (my opinion) there will still be a lot of UFOs out there. But then you are in Alaska and do you really need ADS-B? Lower 48 I think you need ADS-B In/Out just for the traffic.

The question then is to put it behind the panel or stay portable for the stratus placement. I would go with this Appareo ESG and splurge for the Stratus 2 with ForeFlight and an iPad. For a for a simple Alaska Bush plane such as cub or etc. In my opinion if you’re going to go ADS-B out you will want all the bells and whistles of the Garman or the Appareo ESG. I don’t think you can beat the installation cost. If you want cheap compliance UAvionics will be the way to go when available 2Q for certified aircraft. I would say this is the option for an expensive airplane or you have money to burn. Garman is great if you have a Garman (glass) cockpit you want everything to integrate together. I have been looking at these awful lot and here is my take on it. I'm happy with the Appareo, and glad I made that choice. After looking at both, getting identical bids for both, I decided I liked the looks of the Appareo better, and kind of like promoting competition for Garmin, so I went with the Appareo. His recommendation was to go with either the Garmin GTX-335 or the Appareo Stratus ESG. I looked (briefly) at the 元 solution (very cool, but $$$$), then talked to my avionics shop for their recommendations. I decided that the 1090ES "all-in-one" solution made more sense for me. I figured my choice was to either go with an "all-in-one" 1090ES transponder solution, or replace my transponder and add a 978-UAT ADS-B OUT device. I had the same situation (dying transponder, needed ADS-B OUT). And the OP stated his transponder just died. The tail light looks like a great idea.įor in? I like a Garmin GDL with Garmin Pilot on my iPhone.Yeah, but you have to have a working transponder for ANY 978-UAT solution to work.
