Trego-Dugan To Complete The First AML-STC Of Avidyne’s AXP340 Mode S Transponder With A Freeflight 1201 WAAS/GPS For ADS-B OUT
Avidyne is working with Trego-Dugan Aviation of Grand Island, Nebraska and Freeflight Systems of Waco, Texas to develop an Approved Model List Supplement Type Certificate (AML-STC) of the Avidyne AXP340 Mode S Transponder coupled with a Freeflight 1201 WAAS/GPS sensor. Trego/Dugan will seek FAA and EASA approval of the AML-STC, which will streamline the installation process for ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) equipage in the United States and in Europe.
“Trego-Dugan is aggressively pursuing AML-STCs for a number of products and we are pleased to be working with them to obtain this approval for our AXP340 Mode S transponder,” said Tom Harper, Avidyne’s Director, Marketing. “This AML-STC makes it easier for our customers to meet the upcoming ADS-B mandates in the U.S. and Europe.”
“Avidyne and Freeflight are leaders in ADS-B avionics and we are pleased to be working closely with them to expand the reach of their ADS-B products,” said Aaron Hall, Trego-Dugan’s Director of Avionics. “This AML-STC will be made available to installation facilities around the globe to streamline the installation process and allow customers easier access to ADS-B solutions.”
Avidyne’s AXP340 is a 1090MHz extended squitter (ES) Mode S transponder that is designed to meet the U.S. and international mandates for ADS-B OUT. This AML-STC provides approval for use of the Freeflight 1201 as the precision GPS position source for the AXP340. Avidyne has also announced 1090MHz ADS-B IN capability for their TAS600A active-surveillance Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS-A Series).
