Provides High Integrity ADS-B position Source For European Market
FreeFlight Systems has received EASA certification for the 1203C SBAS/GNSS sensor. The system is currently FAA certified to TSO-C145c, and now has the additional certification of ETSO-C145c.
This certification expedites the process for attaining STC approvals for 1203C installations in Europe, which will prove to be vital as the deadlines for ADS-B equipage draw near. The compliance dates are June 8, 2016 for new aircraft and June 7, 2020 for aircraft needing retrofits.
As an affordable, easily installed position source approved for all ICAO jurisdictions, the integrated 15-channel 1203C SBAS/GNSS sensor is part of a fully rule-compliant and highly cost-effective ADS-B Out system. The 1203C currently operates as part of approved ADS-B installations worldwide and is appropriate for airline transport, regional, business aircraft, and rotorcraft applications.
The 1203C integrates readily with either a compatible DO-260A or DO-260B certified Mode S transponder and other existing avionics, requires no cockpit controls, and is compatible with a wide variety of antenna options. It also can serve as the approved position and timing source for CPDLC, RNP 0.3 installations, and TAWS/FMS via an ARINC 743A 2-wire interface.
The system is further capable of receiving external altitude and RAIM prediction requests via two ARINC 429 2-wire interfaces. “The 1203C is the simplest and most affordable way to meet the position source requirements for ADS-B,” said Tim Taylor, President and CEO of FreeFlight Systems. “With the added EASA certification, it is simpler for our European customers to accomplish the installation of a sensor that delivers regulatory compliance while adding capability and operational flexibility.”
