Video: The new skyBeacon

By General Aviation News Staff · March 6, 2018 ·

Smitty Smith with FunPlacesToFly.com just posted a new video that features Tom Ferraro talking about the new ADS-B out system from uAvionix.

“The skyBeacon is a revolutionary new way to equip ADS-B,” he notes. “Simply replace your existing navigation light with skyBeacon and you are ADS-B compliant for 2020.”

    I have wheelan tip strobes integrated with my position lights. It looks like this unti replaces the nav light but there is no strobe option. will that be coming?

    Has it been certified yet?
    This looks like the best option for me and my customers.

    Love the simplicity of the system. If you go to their site it makes it sound like they’re on their way to certification: https://www.uavionix.com/news/skybeacon-certification-update/. If I didn’t want to fly to Canada, this would have been my system of choice. That said I’m very happy with my Stratus but it cost near on twice as much with the install.
