ExecuJet MRO Services Fits ADS-B for South African Jets
Installations are to meet a mandate for all aircraft using South Africa’s Class A airspace
ExecuJet MRO Services in Johannesburg
ExecuJet MRO Services’ facility at Johannesburg’s Lanseria Airport has been busy with ADS-B installations this year.

ExecuJet MRO Services’ facility in Johannesburg is busy installing automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) equipment in business aircraft to meet a pending mandate issued by the South African Civil Aviation Authority. The company said its avionics team is now conducting installations on various Bombardier, Learjet, Embraer, Hawker, and Beechcraft models.

Under the mandate, all aircraft operating in South African airspace have to be fitted with ADS-B/Mode S 1090-MHz extended squitter transponders. The requirements were issued by the regulator late last year and took effect in Class A airspace from June 12.
