Garmin did it again!
The new high performance, all digital GRA 5500 radar altimeter for helicopters general aviation and more. The GRA 5500 works to provide smooth altitude tracking resulting in consistent and high accurate altitude above ground indication. This meets the highest altitude accuracy standards only previously seen in products for transport and military aircraft.

The design
The digital design allows the GRA 5500 to process hundreds of altitude measurements per second and apply advanced digit filters to help detect and mitigate false altitude returns. In addition, the robust and rugged hardware is designed to withstand even the harshest environmental conditions, meeting the latest and more rigorous flight test standards recently issued by the FAA.
What else?
With simpler installation, easy calibration and eliminating the requirements for long lengths of antenna cables, this GRA 5500 is revolutionary.
