CMD Flight Solutions’ FAA Part 23 AML STC for its ADS-B OUT solution now covers the Cessna CJ series; Dornier Do-228; Beechcraft King Air series and Premier I/IA; M7 Swearingen Merlin; Piaggio Avanti; and Pilatus PC-12. With these added models, the approval covers nearly 170 Part 23 aircraft types equipped with Rockwell Collins TDR-94/94D transponders, paired with the Universal UNS-1W FMS or Collins GPS-4000S systems.

The company’s DO-260B-compliant solution can support the replacement and certification of existing transponders by incorporating Collins TDR-94/94Ds, paving the way for operators of these aircraft to meet the FAA’s Jan. 1, 2020 deadline for ADS-B OUT. CMD is distributing its ADS-B STC solution primarily through the worldwide Universal Avionics and Rockwell Collins dealer networks.
