FAA STC Expanded For TT31
Trig Avionics has announced an expansion of their FAA STC program for their class leading TT31 transponder. Speaking from EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh, Andy Davis CEO said, “I am pleased to share that our FAA ADS-B STC program now includes all Garmin GTN navigators. We understand that pilots want a low cost and simple upgrade path to ADS-B and the TT31 fully meets this brief. Aircraft owners can maximise the value of a TT31 by integrating it with a GTN. A Trig solution is quicker to fit saving hundreds of dollars in installation costs with no compromise in performance or features.
The latest TT31 software allows the transponder to be configured for ADS-B Out, using the original KT76A or KT78A tray. With no tray change, no change of antenna and the simple integration of a GNS or GTN series WAAS GPS this demonstrates how practical an ADS-B install can be. Andy Davis commented “We prove that many KT76A and KT78A customers can benefit from a ‘stress free’ install, avoiding additional antennas or physical changes to the panel. Our free STC program via our STC partner Peregrine of Denver makes this process even more straightforward.
Dave Rankin, CEO at Peregrine has already secured FAA STC coverage for Trig transponders with various GPS devices; including the Trig TN70 and Free Flight 1201. Speaking specifically about the latest TT31 enhancement Dave said, “In test flights the TT31 and GTN produced exceptionally solid ADS-B data. FAA flight reports showed very reliable and consistent performance giving full compliance with ground stations and other aircraft at all times. The TT31 gives customers options with various GPS types; the addition of the GTN should be popular.”
The TT31 was the first transponder in the world to meet TSO C166b, the latest FAA standard for 2020. Trig transponders can be used globally as they operate using 1090 ES - the ICAO standard. All Trig products come with a two year warranty, this starts from the date of installation - a genuine benefit to those uncertified aircraft owners looking to perform their own installation.
