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 tailBeacon is just $1,649 and the cost of installation is minimal because the unit is a straight replacement for a regular taillight, just as the company’s skyBeacon is mounted in place of a wingtip navigation light.
