First Such STC To Be Issued In Europe
An STC for ADS-B Out for Gulfstream G150 & G200 aircraft has been approved for 328 Design GmbH (328DO), part of the 328 Group in partnership with Columbia Jet Service GmbH. The STC allows for the installation of Rockwell Collins ADS-B Out on the aircraft, representing around 360 airplanes worldwide. This marks the first time that such an STC is available in Europe.
“We are very pleased to offer this important ADS-B Out STC for Gulfstream G150 & G200 aircraft," said Jörg Gorkenant, Chief Operating Officer and Head of 328DO. "It not only enhances aircraft visibility and reduces the risk of air to air collision but it also offers added comfort and convenience for operators and their passengers, as well as reducing the overall cost of ownership. With the mandate dates fast approaching and thousands of aircraft remaining to equip, we encourage owners and operators to take advantage of it now.”
ADS-B Out compliance is required by June 7th, 2020 in Europe, preceded by the US on January 1st, 2020. The ADS-B STC is already mandatory in Australia, Canada (Hudson Bay and Oceanic Airspace), China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam.
For aircraft owners wanting to go ahead with the STC, 328 and ACC Columbia offer a number of advantages including minimal aircraft downtime, no significant change to the original aircraft equipment, lower costs than other ADS-B Out installations and negligible impact to the AC configuration.
