Elliott Expands ADS-B Solutions for Hawkers
Latest STCs will cover ADS-B for four different Hawker jets.

Elliott Aviation reported it is close to securing a supplemental type certificate (STC) covering a Garmin-based ADS-B in and out solution for the Hawker 750, 800XP, 850 and 900XP. The new upgrade features Garmin’s GTX 3000 Mode S extended-squitter transponder, GDL 88 ADS-B data link and a Flight Stream wireless gateway to provide ADS-B capability in conjunction with existing avionics suites.

One advantage of the solution is that it easily integrates with other cockpit systems, such as TCAS. Another benefit of Flight Stream is that it also allows pilots to receive subscription-free Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather, including Nexrad, Metars, TAFs and Notams. These can be displayed on a mobile in-cockpit device, without the need for a cockpit display upgrade.
