uAvionix is taking its tailBeacon ADS-B Out solution to the next step announcing yesterday at Sun n’ Fun that the micro-electronics maker filed its TSO package for the device with the FAA Aircraft Certification Office (ACO). Like the earlier TSOed skyBeacon for wingtip installations, the tailBeacon requires very little effort to install, even less than the skyBeacon. uAvionix COO Ryan Braun said, “it takes 33 percent less time than the skyBeacon in fact.”

Key Takeaways:
- uAvionix has filed its TSO package for the tailBeacon ADS-B Out solution with the FAA, expecting approval within weeks.
- The tailBeacon is designed for exceptionally easy installation, typically under one hour, requiring minimal wiring due to its patented power transcoder.
- This compact device integrates four TSO certifications, including ADS-B, GPS, position lights, and a barometric pressure altitude sensor.
- Previously limited to experimental aircraft, the tailBeacon is poised for broader certification and use on various aircraft types once TSO and STC are approved.
