FDL-978-XVR Offers ADS-B Compliance Plus Weather, Traffic And Other NextGen Benefits
FreeFlight Systems has announced special, time-limited promotional pricing for its RANGR FDL-978-XVR ADS-B Universal Access Transceiver (UAT). Pricing for orders placed and delivered by Dec. 31, 2014 is $3,995, a savings of $1,500 off of the $5,495 regular system price. The specially priced system comes with an internal WAAS GPS and includes the optional $350 WiFi module at no additional charge.
Approved for installation in most light GA aircraft, the RANGR FDL-978-XVR provides full ADS-B Out rule compliance using existing Mode A/C or Mode S transponders. The system also receives ADS-B In FIS-B graphical weather, TIS-B traffic and other data for display on Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) supporting the industry-standard Capstone Protocol. Traffic data can be shown on Garmin GNS 400/500 series units and any display that complies with the ARINC 735B standard for Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI). The WiFi module also supports weather and traffic display on an Apple iPad. The RANGR FDL-978-XVR is the smallest, lightest and most affordable system available, is easy to install and is the first UAT certified for rotorcraft.
“The promotion represents a great opportunity for GA aircraft owners to step up now to the benefits of ADS-B weather and traffic as well as improved flight following and search and rescue services,” said Tim Taylor, President and CEO of FreeFlight Systems. “We also want to help aircraft owners to get ahead of the installation crunch expected at avionics shops across the country approaching the Jan. 1, 2020 deadline. Finally, customers can add value to their aircraft by making it fully ADS-B rule-compliant and NextGen-capable, a big plus on resale.”
Special promotional pricing for the RANGR FDL-978-XVR applies to orders placed between March 24, 2014 and Dec. 31, 2014. Customers must take delivery by Dec. 31, 2014. This special promotional pricing may not be combined with any other promotions.
