NextGen avionics leader FreeFlight Systems announced on March 26 that the company will provide its certified RANGR ADS-B receivers to Avidyne customers.
Avidyne will bundle an IFD system and a ADS-B Outcapable Mode S transponder with FreeFlight Systems RANGR-RX ADS-B receiver to offer a complete ADS-B solution. By combining the strength and reliability of the Avidyne series of Mode S transponders with FreeFlight Systems RANGR-RX ADS-B receiver, this avionics package will provide general aviation aircraft a complete and cost-effective way to equip with ADS-B In and Out for the upcoming Jan. 1, 2020 mandate.
The TSO-certified RANGR-RX provides pilots with critical ADS-B Flight Information Services Broadcast (FISB) and Traffic Information Services Broadcast (TISB) data, both modernizing the aircraft cockpit and drastically improving situational awareness.
The RANGR-RX offers clients an installed solution that provides in-flight ADS-B In information to a multitude of preferred mobile EFB applications and installed multifunction displays like Avidyne’s IFD550/540/440 product line.
“Through our partnership with Avidyne, aircraft operators can now purchase a comprehensive package that provides enhanced situational awareness through the available ADS-B services,” said Pete Ring, FreeFlight Systems’ vice president of sales and marketing. “This is an ideal solution for many of general aviation clients who want to fly with the additional benefits that ADS-B In brings to the cockpit.”
IFD clients can purchase an AXP340 or AXP322 Mode S transponder with ADS-B Out and a RANGR-RX for ADS-B In at a bundled rate directly from Avidyne.
The RANGR-RX ADS-B In product will be shipped and supported directly by FreeFlight Systems.
