Waco, Texas – Michigan based Kalitta Air has selected the FreeFlight Systems 1203C SBAS/GNSS sensor for retrofit into its Boeing 747 series of aircraft as part of its ADS-B compliance program.
Kalitta Air paired the 1203C with the B747s’ existing TPR-901 transponders.
"We are pleased to provide Kalitta with our quality retrofit solution for ADSB compliance," said Pete Ring, FreeFlight Systems' director of sales and marketing. "Our practical, straightforward line of ADS-B solutions provide the marketplace with the opportunity to extend the usability of legacy aircraft like the 747 into the NextGen airspace of tomorrow."
As a certified ADS-B position source approved for all ICAO jurisdictions, the integrated 15-channel 1203C SBAS/GNSS sensor is part of a fully rule-compliant ADS-B Out system when paired with a compatible certified Mode S transponder like the TPR-901. The 1203C also serves as the approved position source for CPDLC, TAWS/FMS, RNP, and other NextGen applications.
Designed for business, regional, airline transport, and heavy rotary wing aircraft, the 1203C provides aviation GPS technology that allows customers to take advantage of the benefits of NextGen without the need for extensive avionics upgrades.
