Permit aircraft flight in Ireland LAA Approval for uAvionix tailBeaconX

and AV-30

The uAvionix tailBeaconX and AV-30 multi-function display have been approved by the Light Aircraft Association, making the tailBeaconX 1090 MHz ADS-B transponder and AV-30 altitude encoder an accepted equipment combination for ADS-B OUT in aircraft on the LAA fleet.

tailBeaconX is an integrated 1090 MHz ADS-B transponder that replaces a rear navigation light by combining it with an ADS-B OUT / Mode S transponder, SBAS GPS, antennas, and rear LED position light. It works with the uAvionix AV-30 multi-function display to be installed as the control head/altitude encoder.

In this configuration, the AV-30 is able to leverage the tailBeaconX SBAS GPS for its GPS track display. The AV-30 also offers the pilot added features such as an Attitude Indicator, Directional Gyro, AOA, and 12 more safety-enhancing features. uAvionix says it anticipates adding additional means of control through uAvionix and third-party devices.
