AXP340 Mode S Transponder Meets NextGen ADS-B Out Mandate
Avidyne Corporation has introduced their new AXP340 Mode S
Transponder with ADS-B Out capability to meet the mandate for the
NextGen airspace initiative. The AXP340 transmits ADS-B Out
information via Extended Squitter (ES) to appropriately-equipped
ground stations and other ADS-B In-equipped aircraft, providing
improved airborne surveillance as well as vital information for
airport ground surveillance.
“ADS-B Out will be required in most U.S. airspace by the
year 2020, and the AXP340 is designed as an easy-to-upgrade
solution that meets this mandate while also adding several new
functions that make flying easier,” said Patrick Herguth,
Chief Operating Officer, announcing the new transponder on
Wednesday. “The AXP340 features an easy-to-use direct-entry
numeric keypad, one-touch VFR code entry, built in timers, and an
altitude alerter, plus it’s a slide-in replacement for the
popular KT76A and KT78A Mode A/C Transponders.”
“ADS-B is a key feature of the future airspace plans in
the U.S., Europe, Australia and other parts of the world, and
Avidyne is committed to being a leading provider of ADS-B avionics
solutions,” said Dan Schwinn, Avidyne President and
CEO. “Avidyne previously announced our TAS600A Series
of active traffic systems with ADS-B In. Now, we have introduced
the AXP340 with ADS-B Out, which is just the next in a series of
announcements from Avidyne for ADS-B and NextGen
avionics.”
