Will Allow Airline To Achieve ADS-B Compliance

Australian regional airline QantasLink has selected the FreeFlight 1203C SBAS/GNSS sensor for retrofit into its DHC-8-200/300 series of aircraft.

QantasLink paired the 1203C with the Dash 8's TDR-94D Mode-S transponders.
 
"We're pleased to demonstrate once again that there are practical ADS-B solutions for aircraft that have been in service for a while," said Pete Ring, FreeFlight Systems' Director of Sales and Marketing. "We are proud to supply QantasLink with a straightforward, retrofit solution that extends the life of their DHC-8 fleet."
 
As a certified ADS-B position source approved for all ICAO jurisdictions, the integrated 15-channel 1203C SBAS/GNSS sensor is part of a fully rule-compliant ADS-B Out system when paired with a compatible certified Mode S transponder like the TDR-94D. Providing reliable service to fleets worldwide, the 1203C also serves as the approved position source for CPDLC, TAWS/FMS, RNP and other NextGen applications.
 
Designed for business, regional, airline transport and heavy rotary wing aircraft, the 1203C provides state-of-the-art aviation GPS technology in a proven package. The 1203C allows customers to take advantage of the benefits of NextGen without the need for extensive and costly avionics upgrades.
