L-3 NGT-9000 Adds TAWS and ADS-B Traffic Alerting
Pricing for the two software upgrades is $4,000 for eTaws and $665 for ATAS.


L-3 Aviation Products added two new software-based features to its Lynx NGT-9000 ADS-B touchscreen transponder. The new TSO’d features include a Class B embedded terrain awareness warning system (eTaws) and ADS-B traffic advisory system (ATAS) aural alerting option. The eTaws feature adds a new screen to the NGT-9000 display, and it includes graphical and aural warnings. Surveillance range is 24 nm. When a terrain warning is issued, the NGT-9000 automatically switches to the eTaws screen and alerts the pilot through the audio panel. The eTaws also includes alerts for negative climb rates and other ground proximity warnings.
