The NavWorx ADS600-EXP Is An ADS-B Solution That Is Tailored Towards The Experimental Aircraft Market
NavWorx, Inc. claims they were the first to announce a truly affordable solution for experimental and LSA aircraft owners with the release of its ADS600-EXP. This announcement came on the heels of the FAA's ADS-B rule interpretation in February that devices must meet the "performance requirements" of TSO-C154c, but do not have to be TSO’ed.
NavWorx says their ADS600-EXP is a complete ADS-B solution for experimental and LSA aircraft. The ADS600-EXP communicates with a wide variety of display systems via Wi-Fi and RS232. For a limited time, NavWorx is offering the ADS600-EXP at a price of $869.00.
Design of the NavWorx ADS600-EXP is based on the company's ADS600-B, a FAA TSO/STC certified unit. Both comply with the ADS-B mandates of TSO-C154c and TSO-C145c. The ADS600-EXP is a Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) and provides full ADS-B Out and In operations.
All ADS600 UAT devices come with NavWorx' patent-pending TransMonSPETM. This device installs on the aircraft's existing transponder coax cable to provide for single point of entry of the squawk code, ident, and Mode A/C. TransMonSPETM also provides pressure encoder data to the ADS600-series. It meets the FAA's requirement to have a single point of entry for the squawk code, and satisfies the specification that requires both the transponder and ADS-B to use the same pressure encoder. TransMonSPETM is TSO certified and will interface with older transponders eliminating any need to replace the transponder or altitude encoder.
NavWorx ADS-B solutions are also available for type certificated aircraft offering solutions for operators with a variety of installation requirements. The company also offers pre-built harnesses and coax cables.
