GSR 56 Iridium Transceiver

Explore More World

NY to Chicago – 643 nautical miles Denver to Los Angeles – 890 nautical miles London to Milan – 507 nautical miles

NY to Jacksonville – 720 nautical miles Denver to Seattle – 749 nautical miles

The optional GSR 56 gives you access to on-demand global weather information and text/voice communications through the Iridium satellite network. The Iridium network provides seamless global coverage nearly anywhere you fly — even in locations not previously served by other satellite networks. Simply set up voice and data service (subscription required), and start enjoying added safety and convenience on every flight.

With the GSR 56, you can finally enjoy the safety-enhancing benefits of on-demand satellite weather when operating internationally. World Wide Weather data includes Meteorological Aviation Reports (w) that provide current temperature, dew point, precipitation, wind speed and more, as well as Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs) that show predicted weather for up to 30 hours in advance. Throughout most of Europe, Canada, and the U.S., the GSR 56 receives high-resolution radar imagery in full color on the G1000 displays. The availability of service is continuously expanding.

Now Piper customers can stay in touch from virtually all corners of the globe. The GSR 56 can be used to provide two-way text messaging via SMS to any compatible phone or email address.* In addition, you can easily place and receive calls while in flight. The GSR 56 integrates into your aircraft’s audio/intercom system, enabling you and your passengers to speak and listen directly through a headset. Phone and text capability currently cost $40 per month, $1 per text, or $1.60 per minute for a phone call. Calls can be placed from the cabin or cockpit, allowing Piper owners to manage business and personal matters from anywhere at any time.* Currently available in the G1000 and G3000 only.
