FAA Issues TSO For FreeFlight Systems RANGR ADS-B

FDL-978TX Meets FAA Requirements For NextGen

The FAA has granted a TSO to FreeFlight Systems for its RANGR FDL-978TX ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) UAT 978MHz transmitter. The RANGR FDL-978TX system will interface to FreeFlight Systems WAASGPS receiver 1201, dual antennas, and a panel mounted control head.

The RANGR FDL-978TX will provide pilots with the first V2 compliant TSO-C154c UAT Transmitter to comply with the Advisory Circular AC 20-165. The system will provide air traffic controllers with course, speed, and altitude data continuously, as well as to other ADS-B equipped aircraft.

The company says the system weighs less than a pound and is relatively easy to install. It also meets all DO-160 testing for helicopter applications.

“FreeFlight Systems is excited to be the leader in NextGen technologies and the RANGR is our first success. ADS-B is the future of air traffic control providing increased situational awareness, improved spacing and efficiency,” said Tim Taylor, CEO of FreeFlight Systems. “The development of the RANGR was no easy task and the MITRE technology saved us at least 2 years of development.” FreeFlight Systems is offering special introductory pricing now through April 2012.
