Joint System Designed For Business And Commercial Aircraft
FreeFlight Systems and Becker Avionics have partnered to offer a complete ADS-B Solution for business and commercial class aircraft. By combining the strength and integrity of the Becker Avionics BXT65XX series of Mode S transponders with FreeFlight Systems 1203C SBAS/GNSS sensor and RANGR-RX ADS-B Receiver, these remote-mounted solutions will provide turboprop and turbojet business aircraft a complete and cost effective way to equip with ADS-B In and Out for the upcoming January 1, 2020 mandate.
"With just over two years remaining to meet the ADS-B Rule, there is a lack of cost-effective, high-quality options for the business aircraft market," said Pete Ring, FreeFlight Systems' Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Through our partnership with Becker Avionics, aircraft operators can now purchase a cost-effective option to equip their aircraft without the need to completely overhaul their panel and avionics systems. This is an ideal solution for many of our customers where a non-disruptive remote mounted option is preferred."
"For more than six decades, Becker has been supplying highly compact, robust, and durable avionics tailored to our customers' requirements, providing an optimized solution and a very good value proposition for operators of business, commercial, and mission aircraft seeking compliance with the 2020 ADS-B rule," said Thomas Terschlusen, Becker Avionics' Commercial Director. "We are pleased to team with FreeFlight Systems to offer a complete solution for these operators, including transponder, GNSS source, and ADS-B In receiver certified as a complete package."
The 1203C SBAS/GNSS meets TSO-C145c as the dedicated position source required for ADS-B and the BXT65XX series of transponders meets the ESTO-C112d and TSO-C166b for ADS-B Out compliance. The complete system meets the requirements of AC20-165B for ADS-B rule compliance. The diversity-capable system is suitable for installation on TCAS I and TCAS II equipped aircraft. A non-diversity option is also available. The system is compatible with a variety of common control heads and can be installed in either single or dual configurations.
