uAvionix Corporation, developers of the recently TSOed skyBeacon, ADS-B Out system as well as a number of other tiny, light ADS-B transceivers and transponders, yesterday released the 1090nano, a 1090MHz ADS-B single chip solution for drone ADS-B transceivers, as well as detect and avoid applications. In early 2017, uAvionix introduced its T-UAT, a dime-sized 978MHz […]

Bigfork Montana-based uAvionix said last month it expected a TSOed version of its popular skyBeacon ADS-B Out solution would soon be ready for a marketplace hungry for low-cost options to meet the FAA’s 2020 mandate. Yesterday, the company announced the agency had signed the documents that will allow FAA certified aircraft owners to use the […]

Details have emerged of a lawsuit filed in Montana on June 19 by Garmin International Inc. and Garmin USA Inc. against uAvionix in which the Olathe, Kansas avionics giant claims the upstart Bigfork, Montana-based micro-miniaturization experts used a Garmin patent without permission when they created some uAvionix retail product offerings. Specifically, Garmin alleges the uAvionix […]

Continuing the trend of developing cost effective, quick-install ADS-B solutions to meet the demand for the equipment mandated for aircraft flying in most airspace starting in 2020, uAvionix has announced the tailBeacon EXP. The unit combines ADS-B Out, WAAS GPS and a pressure altitude sensor with a white tail-mounted position light. The price for the […]

ForeFlight just introduced a compact portable ADS-B receiver that is a step up in features and price from its Scout product introduced last year. The Sentry is a 2.2-inch by 3.3-inch by 1.4-inch receiver that weighs 119 grams and includes dual ADS-B antennas optimized for 978 MHz and 1090 MHz frequencies. The receiver will give […]

Startup avionics firm uAvionix introduced two new products to its expanding portfolio of low-cost and easy-to-install ADS-B solutions for general aviation airplanes. The first is a tail light replacement ADS-B Out unit similar in concept to the SkyBeacon red LED navlight replacement the company unveiled last year. The second is a green navlight replacement ADS-B […]

With the ADS-B Out compliance date drawing ever closer, many pilots are still waiting for the big holiday deal on the technology they’ll need to meet the deadline. Not long after we ran a story on the Skybeacon wingtip ADS-B Out solutions, uAvionix asked if we knew anyone with an experimental airplane willing to serve […]

The ticking clock toward the FAA’s ADS-B Out compliance date hasn’t slowed one iota. Come January 1, 2020, aircraft that today require a Mode C transponder, but do not by that date have ADS-B Out installed are no longer legal to fly in that same airspace. The avionics industry is of course bracing for a […]

Palo Alto-based uAvionix has announced the creation of an ADS-B transceiver not much larger than a contact lens — and weighing in at just 1 gram — aimed at the drone market’s yet unresolved problem of identifying themselves to other aircraft and drones while operating in the national airspace system. uAvionix CEO Paul Beard said […]
