160mm BXP6403 Mode S Transponder Class I and II
Certification
Becker Avionics has received TSO certification of its BXP6403
Mode S Transponder Class I and II series, the company announced
Thursday. The BXP6403 helps customers meet the future requirements
of transponder technology by enhancing safety and situational
awareness through the use of traffic information.
The BXP6403 is a compact and lightweight single block Mode-S
transponder. It is compatible with existing Mode A/C systems and
provides the addition of data-link technology. The data-link
provides flight critical information such as traffic which
increases situational awareness while reducing the need for
additional traffic detection equipment. Furthermore, the BXP6403
reports additional aircraft specific details to ATC providing a
clearer picture of the flight environment.
"The BXP6403 offers an ideal and straightforward retrofit
solution for the Bendix-King KT76A, as it has been designed to
install in the same tray - a true drop-in replacement," said Brett
Gardner, Director of Sales and Marketing. "Legacy transponders
require warm up time and are costly to repair. The BXP6403 has a
sunlight readable display, requires no warm up time, and
incorporates state-of-the-art-technology."
The BXP6403 Mode S Transponder is equipped with extended
squitter and SI code function and it provides an interface to the
central aircraft data system. It allows ELS, supports EHS, as well
as ADS-B via extended squitter.
The BXP6403-1-(01) is intended to serve IFR/Class 1 aircraft. It
is certified according to TSO C112 and ETSO-2C112b and is suited
for VFR and IFR operations up to 50000 feet, while the
BXP6403-1-(02) is intended to serve VFR/Class 2 aircraft. It is
certified according to TSO C112 and ETSO-2C112b and is suited for
VFR and IFR operations up to 15000 feet.
The Mode S ICAO address and additional fixed data are stored in
a separate address module, AM6400-1-(01), which is plugged on to
the transponder and remains in the aircraft when the transponder is
exchanged.
