The skyBeacon (UAX9003201) is 2020
compliant and a class B1S ADS-B UAT transmitter and WAAS GPS that is
integrated into a wing tip position light. With ease of installation and
configuration and reduced down times, the skyBeacon provides an innovative
and cost effective ADS-out solution without requiring panel modifications or
a new transponders.
|
The skyBeacon features a UAT (978MHz) transmitter and
specially designed blade antenna that minimizes installation errors and
antenna placement issues. A built-in WAAS GPS provides rule compliant
position data for ADS-B transmission with no additional wiring or external
GPS antenna mounting. The skyBeacon’s power transcoder decodes replies from
legacy Mode C and Mode S transponders so that a new transponder is not
required. |
Additionally, the integrated altitude encoder does not
require connection to the aircraft static pressure system. Instead,
skyBeacon benefits from being mounted in an ideal altitude sensing location,
and contains Continuous Calibration™ technology. This patent pending
technology automatically and continuously calibrates the integrated altitude
encoder for correspondence with the aircraft transponder’s altitude encoder,
allowing compliant operations in remote and challenging environments. An
extremely efficient LED position and anti-collision lighting complete the
skyBeacon package. |
The skyBeacon integrated solution consists of a total of
five (5) TSOs:
- ADS-B (TSO-C154c, Class B1S)
- GPS (TSO-C145d, Class Beta 1)
- Barometric altitude sensor (TSO-C88b)
- Position Light (TSO-C30c, Type I)
- Anti-collision light (TSO-C96a, Class II)
