“uAvionix” a fait deux annonces la semaine dernière à Oshkosh (AirVenture2019)!
La première, est que le « uAvionix tailBeacon Gets TSO Approval » à reçu sa certification « Technical Standard Order (TSO) »;
La deuxième, que “uAvionix” travail ou vas travailler pour avoir la certification de Nav Canada / Transports Canada pour être approuvé pour la date de mise en service prévue de 2023!
Si vous avez à choisir pour l’installation de l’ « ADSB » bientôt? J’opterais pour le « uAvionix tailBeacon ». Le coût d’acquisition est peut être plus élevé sur le « uAvionix tailBeacon » que le « Garmin GDL-82 ». Cependant, le coût d’installation est moindre que le système « Garmin GDL-82 ».
Voici les deux articles en anglais :
“uAvionix Working on Canadian ADS-B Tech With skyBeacon X
The uAvionix booths at this year’s Airventure were packed layers deep with last-minute ADS-B buyers, while the 2020 mandate is T-minus 28 weeks. But high on the list of ADS-B equipage concerns is the developing ADS-B space-based Aireon tech in Canada (and the U.S. aircraft that will fly there), which looks to require diversity systems, or those with dual antennas. The effort to install that second antenna could easily blow a “budget” upgrade for simpler aircraft—a market that uAvionix has essentially taken over with its skyBeacon and tailBeacon products. So with a clever but obvious tech redesign, uAvionix is testing a second blade antenna on the current single-antenna style skyBeacon design.
Like the original skyBeacon, the skyBeacon X is an LED position light replacement, but has an integrated 1090ES transponder (and WAAS GPS), plus a baro altimeter. The company says it might be ready in 2021, and it hasn’t mentioned pricing, but uAvionix President Christian Ramsey hinted it will budget-based. “We specifically designed the skyBeacon and tailBeacon to target a low cost of installation, and we are doing it again with the skyBeacon X,” he said in a news release.
uAvionix reiterated that back in January 2019, NAV Canada announced it will be implementing ADS-B airspace performance requirements in three phases. Phase 3, to be implemented no sooner than 2023, is the biggest impact on GA operations and will require ADS-B Out systems with two antennas—one on the top and the other on the bottom—of the aircraft. Don’t overthink the tech: Since Aireon is satellite based, an antenna on the bottom of the aircraft won’t do much for performance, or specifically, the aircraft’s ADS-B Out data update rate. The skyBeacon X testing, so far, shows that the new design can work well out on the wingtip for both ground and satellite signals.”

“uAvionix tailBeacon Gets TSO Approval
uAvionix has received technical standard order (TSO) authorization for its tailBeacon ADS-B Out system that could offer a last-minute solution for GA operators who haven’t yet complied with the Jan. 1, 2020, mandate. The tailBeacon could replace the rear position light on dozens of light aircraft types and includes an integrated complying GPS, barometric altitude sensor, ADS-B transponder and the position light that it replaces. It’s designed as a plug-and-play replacement for the existing position light using existing wiring and takes a short time to install.
The next regulatory step is to get Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval for specific aircraft types and the company says the first one is already in the works. “We have expanded our production footprint in Montana and expect to be delivering the product with plenty of margin for our customers to meet the year-end deadline,” the company told AVweb in an email. “In addition, we now have a qualified installer network of over 600 A&P IAs nationwide who have been specifically trained on its installation.”

- Avidyne’s SkyTrax system uses dual antennas (one on the top of the airplane, the other on the bottom)

) j'utilise aussi Foreflight sur mon i-pad depuis bien des années...je suis donc à étudier les alternatives qui s'offre à moi tout en respectant un budget raisonnable...
