Universal Avionics has selected FreeFlight Systems’ dual-band ADS-B solution for integration with its Connected Avionics ecosystem and InSight Flight Deck, the companies announced on Tuesday at NBAA-BACE 2025. The partnership combines cockpit connectivity, situational awareness capabilities, and operational efficiency tools for business aviation and rotorcraft operators.

The integration arrives as congressional mandates accelerate ADS-B In adoption requirements for aircraft, with regulations aimed at improving airspace safety, transparency, and operational efficiency. Aircraft equipped with Universal Avionics’ WAAS-enabled FMS can now access the FlightPartner Connected FMS app, which provides situational awareness and flight planning capabilities using ADS-B In traffic and weather data. The system augments InSight Flight Deck features, including embedded synthetic vision, advanced mapping, and electronic charts displayed on glass cockpit screens.
