Avidyne TAS600 Systems Receive Approved Model List STC

More Than 700 Different Aircraft Included Under The Certificate

The FAA has granted an Approved Model List Supplemental Type Certificate (AML STC) to Avidyne Corporation for the installation of its ADS-B-upgradeable TAS600 Series of Traffic Advisory Systems in more than 700 aircraft makes and models.

"As with many avionics installations, dealers installing our TAS600 systems have referenced a single-aircraft STC, a process which typically requires a field approval for each installation," said Patrick Herguth, Chief Operating Officer. "Dealers can now reference this AML STC and significantly reduce the paperwork cost and time associated with each TAS600 installation."

"With over 10,000 traffic systems delivered, Avidyne has made had significant impact on aviation safety for light general aviation aircraft owners," said Dan Schwinn, Avidyne President and CEO. "Certification is always an important aspect of avionics development and installation, and we continue to strive for improvements in the process, such as this AML STC, which help our dealers and our mutual customers."

The TAS600 Series currently comprises four models of dual-antenna, active-surveillance Traffic Advisory Systems-the TAS600, TAS605, TAS615, and TAS620-which actively interrogate other transponder-equipped aircraft, and independently compute range, bearing, and closure rate of these aircraft in order to provide pilots with an accurate display of nearby traffic and timely audible and visual alerts of conflicting traffic. All of Avidyne's TAS600 models are fully upgradeable to ADS-B, and all TAS600 systems provide traffic information about any transponder-equipped airplane that is nearby, independent of whether the target aircraft has ADS-B equipment installed.

With the addition of an ADS-B "In" signal, TAS600 customers have the ability to show ADS-B-equipped traffic on their existing TAS-compatible displays, in addition to any transponder-equipped traffic that may not be participating in ADS-B.
