Universal Hosts NextGen Hub at NBAA 2016
Universal Avionics unveils new learning concept for those seeking to meet NextGen equipage requirements.

Reacting to previous feedback from customers, Universal Avionics is hosting a “NextGen Hub” this week at NBAA 2016 to disseminate information about the next-generation U.S. air traffic control environment, with a particular focus on the equipment needed to meet upcoming FAA mandates. Universal’s NextGen experts will host two workshops—one today and another tomorrow—entitled “Design for the Future: Four Steps to Equipping for NextGen and Increasing the Value of Your Aircraft.” The sessions will be held at 1:30 p.m. at Booth 235 and will cover the building-block approach to equipping aircraft.

Topics covered will include LPV, ADS-B OUT, PBN, FANS, datacomm, CPDLC, CPDLC Departure Clearances (DCL) and Link 2000+. Universal said that it will also do one-to-one consultations throughout the show.
