AML Covers Over 700 Aircraft Models
The FAA has granted an expanded Approved Model List (AML) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) to BendixKing for its KT74 Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Enabled Transponder. The system now includes Garmin’s GTN/GNS series Wide Area Augmentation System GPS as an approved data position source.
As a result the KT 74 AML STC includes over 700 aircraft models and meets the FAA’s requirements as an approved ADS-B Out transponder when coupled with a Garmin GTN/GNS, NexNav Mini or Freeflight 1201 GPS system.
Earlier this year, The KT 74 received a Minor Change Approval for Mode S operation in Europe with an AML of 981 aircraft. “This new AML STC allows pilots more flexibility and options for choosing a ADS-B Out transponder to meet the upcoming global mandates, said Roger Dykmann, director of Product Management at BendixKing. “The KT 74 not only meets the global mandates for ADS-B Out, but as a slide-in replacement for the popular BendixKing KT 76A/C and KT 78A transponders, it provides a simple and economical upgrade path for an ADS-B solution.”
No FAA STC is required to replace an existing transponder with a KT 74 Mode S transponder [ADS-B Out must be disabled]. The KT 74 is an affordable optimized ADS-B Out Enabled Mode S Transponder, that continues the BendixKing legacy of meeting pilots’ needs with reliable and easy-to-use avionic solutions.
The KT 74 ADS-B Out Enabled Mode S Transponder has a suggested MSRP of $2,999.
