Air Evac Lifeteam Selects Becker Avionics Transponders

BXP6403 Mode S Transponder Class I Will Be Installed In EMS Aircraft

Air Evac EMS, which operates Air Evac Lifeteam and Texas LifeStar, has picked Becker Avionics' 160mm BXP6403 Mode S Transponder (Class I) for installation in its EMS aircraft.

The BXP6403 helps Air Evac to meet the future requirements of transponder technology by enhancing safety and situational awareness through the use of traffic information. The compact and lightweight single block Mode-S transponder is compatible with existing Mode A/C systems and provides the addition of data-link technology. The data-link provides flight critical information such as traffic which increases situational awareness while reducing the need for additional traffic detection equipment. Furthermore, the BXP6403 reports additional aircraft specific details to ATC providing a clearer picture of the flight environment.

Air Evac says it selected the BXP6403 because it is a straightforward retrofit for the Bendix-King KT76A transponders currently installed in their aircraft. As a true drop-in replacement, the BXP6403 saves time and money for Air Evac by enabling them to switch to Mode S transponder technology.

The BXP6403 Mode S Transponder is equipped with extended squitter and SI code function and it provides an interface to the central aircraft data system. It allows ELS, supports EHS, as well as ADS-B via extended squitter. The BXP6403-1-(01) is intended to serve IFR/Class 1 aircraft. It is certified according to TSO C112 and ETSO-2C112b and is suited for VFR and IFR operations up to 50,000 feet.

The Mode S ICAO address and additional fixed data are stored in a separate address module, AM6400-1-(01), which is plugged in to the transponder and remains in the aircraft when the transponder is exchanged.
