Contract Spans Entire Process From Engineering To
Certification
Melbourne Florida-based Southeast Aerospace (SEA) has been
contracted by Auburn University through its Aviation
Management/Professional Flight Education Program to develop a
complete ADS-B solution including an AML STC. Through the
development of this ADS-B project, SEA plans to support the GA
market with an STC with AML approval for a 978MHz UAT solution.
This solution is to meet the ADS-B DO-282B certification. The
contract will include Engineering, Certification and Installation
of the FreeFlight RANGR ADS-B Out system in a Cessna 172S. This
project in its entirety, including engineering, will be managed by
Southeast Aerospace personnel.
The equipment chosen for this project includes the FreeFlight
FDL-978-TX RANGR UAT, TC-987 control head, RF decoder, 1201
GPS/WAAS receiver, two L-band antennas, and a GPS/WAAS antenna. In
addition to the equipment, SEA will provide full FAA DAR/DER
services. These value added services include detailed documentation
such as Electrical & Structural Installation Drawings,
Accomplishment Instructions, Wire Routing Diagrams, Instructions
for Continued Airworthiness, and Aircraft Flight Manual
Supplements. On-site installation of equipment, testing and
certification will be completed by SEA during this STC
program.
Once this initial ADS-B “Out” project has been
completed and STC/AML approval has been received, SEA will be
offering an ideal ADS-B installation solution to the public to
address the upcoming ADS-B mandate.
