Key Takeaways:

  • uAvionix has filed its TSO package with the FAA for the tailBeacon ADS-B Out solution, transitioning it from experimental to certified aircraft use.
  • The tailBeacon features exceptionally easy installation, typically under one hour, aided by a patented power transcoder for seamless integration.
  • This compact device is a comprehensive solution, integrating four TSO functions: ADS-B, GPS, position lights, and a barometric pressure altitude sensor.

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.”
