FAA keurt AerTrak voor Boeing 757-200-serie goed om te voldoen aan exploitatiemandaat ADS-B
CORAL GABLES –(BUSINESS WIRE)– De Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) heeft een aanvullend typecertificaat (STC) afgegeven voor de installatie van het AerSale® AerTrak™-systeem op vliegtuigen van de Boeing 757-200-serie (ST04011NY). Dit om te voldoen aan de Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)-exploitatieregel, een cruciaal onderdeel van het Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) van het bureau. Met ingang van 1 januari 2020 heeft de FAA de opdracht gegeven dat vliegtuigen die actief zijn in het luchtruim gedefinieerd in 14 CFR § 91.225 moeten zijn uitgerust met een ADS-B Out-systeem dat voldoet aan de minimale prestatievereisten van 14 CFR § 91.227. De FAA heeft eerder dit jaar AerTrak goedgekeurd voor vliegtuigen van de Boeing 737 NG-serie (ST04009NY).
ADS-B biedt een verbeterde navigatienauwkeurigheid door precieze tracking via GPS-signalen (Global Positioning Satellite). De technologie vermindert de risico’s en verbetert de veiligheid, waardoor het navigatiebereik wordt vergroot, met name in afgelegen gebieden buiten het radarbereik. Bovendien maakt ADS-B meer directe vluchtplannen mogelijk, waardoor tijd, kosten en emissies worden bespaard.
FAA Approves AerTrak for Boeing 757-200 Series Aircraft to Comply with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Operations Mandate
CORAL GABLES, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for installation of AerSale®’s AerTrak™ system on Boeing 757-200 series aircraft (ST04011NY), to comply with the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Operations rule, a critical part of the agency’s Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). Beginning January 1, 2020, the FAA has mandated that aircraft operating in airspace defined by 14 CFR § 91.225 must be equipped with an ADS-B Out system that meets the minimum performance requirements of 14 CFR § 91.227. The FAA approved AerTrak for Boeing 737 NG series aircraft (ST04009NY) earlier this year.
ADS-B provides enhanced navigational accuracy using precise tracking via global positioning satellite (GPS) signals. Reducing risk and improving safety, the technology increases navigational coverage, especially in remote areas beyond radar range. Additionally, ADS-B enables more direct flight plans, thereby saving time, costs, and reducing emissions.
“Given the FAA’s concern over the low rate of aircraft upgrades versus the approaching deadline, AerTrak offers an easy path to ADS-B Out compliance,” said Iso Nezaj, Chief Technical Officer at AerSale. “Operators of Boeing 757 and 737 NG series aircraft especially appreciate that AerTrak can be used with any OEM transponder/MMR combination and seamlessly integrates with most existing avionics and cockpit controls—making it very cost-effective.”
AerTrak kits include all necessary parts and can be installed by AerSale’s technicians at any hangar around the world, typically requiring only three days of ground time. Lead time for ordering AerTrak is currently four weeks and allows operators to avoid potential installation facility backlogs, component shortages, and price premiums as the 2020 compliance deadline nears. In the coming months, AerTrak will be expanded to cover additional aircraft types.
