After weeks of waiting for a final signature from the FAA, uAvionix yesterday announced the agency had given the official stamp of approval through a supplemental type certificate necessary to begin shipping the company’s unique, inexpensive ADS-B Out solution, the skyBeacon.
uAvionix skyBeacon Clears Final FAA Hurdle
Key Takeaways:
- uAvionix has received FAA approval (Supplemental Type Certificate) for its skyBeacon, an inexpensive and unique ADS-B Out solution, and has begun shipping units.
- The skyBeacon allows aircraft owners of 272 approved models to easily upgrade to ADS-B Out compliance in about 15-20 minutes, using minimal tools.
- This solution helps aircraft meet the FAA's ADS-B deadline a year early, qualifies for the $500 FAA rebate, and only requires a mechanic's sign-off after installation and registration.
