Trig Avionics has upgraded its TT31 transponder, which previously required a tray change when installing ADS-B. Using software version 3.11 or higher, installers can now use the original installed tray, reducing the time and cost of a compliant ADS-B install, company officials noted.
Existing TT31 owners can also benefit with a software upgrade via their Trig dealer, officials added.
Trig transponders can be used with a range of certified WAAS GPS sources to provide 2020 ADS-B compliance.
Peregrine of Denver is Trig’s STC partner. Officials there report they have seen a growing number of aircraft owners using Trig’s interface with Garmin 400 and 500 series GPS navigators. Other GPS solutions are also available, including Trig’s TN70 kit. This is designed as a retro-fit for non-compliant aircraft and includes a WAAS GPS unit and antenna.
Trig is also a partner with the NextGen GA Fund, which provides loans to GA pilots to fund the purchase and installation of equipment to meet the ADS-B mandate.
Does the TN70 work with a VFR KLN 94 and what does it cost?
COST$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$??? FOR CERTIFIED AIRCRAFT.
THERE IS PLENTY OF ADS-B-OUT EQUIPMENT ON THE MARKET, BUT WHAT IS NEEDED IS A RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE UNIT THAT IS AFFORDABLE TO AN 50-YEAR OLD $25K 172.
CAN YOU HELP WITH THAT PROBLEM? IF SO, YOU WILL SEE MANY.
