Overview

This uAvionix skyBundle includes a TSO skyBeacon and a certied skySensor for a complete 2020 compliant, near zeroinstall, Class B1S ADS-B UAT transmitter with WAAS GPS and ADS-B in solution integrated into wing tip position lights. The skyBEacon transcoder decodes replies from legacy Mode C transponders. 14 CFR §91.227 compliant. Smart phone configurable over WiFi. skyBeacon is a revolutionary new way to equip ADS-B. Simply replace your existing navigation light with skyBeacon and you are ADS-B compliant for 2020. 2020 Compliance Mounts in under 10 minutes Lowest total cost of ownership of any ADS-B Out solution Install in Minutes Installation is as simple as replacing the aircraft position light. Simply replace the aircraft position light, that’s it! No airframe modifications or additional antennas are required. Plus, it works with any Mode C or Mode S transponder. skyBeacon installation uses the existing mounting location, breaker and wiring, with 3 screws and 3 wires. The transponder data is provided via the existing aircraft wiring system using the power transcoder. Remain Anonymous Just because you are ADS-B equipped, doesn’t mean you want to be tracked. With skyBeacon’s Anonymous Mode, your aircraft identification remains hidden from the ADS-B OUT signal while squawking 1200. Anonymous Mode keeps the skies safe while protecting your privacy. Self-Contained WAAS GPS A built-in WAAS GPS provides skyBeacon with rule compliant position data for ADS-B transmission. No additional wiring or external GPS antenna mounting is required. Works with Your Existing Mode C Transponder uAvionix’s patented power transcoder technology seamlessly communicates with your existing transponder, any transponder, over your aircraft’s electrical system. tailBeacon and skyBeacon are the only UAT ADS-B OUT devices on the market that work with Mode S transponders. Instant Setup and Configuration Mechanically installing skyBeacon is the first easy step. With uAvionix’s mobile app, configuration is just as simple. Our mobile application (available for both Apple iOS and Android) guides your installer through setting the necessary values including the ICAO address, emitter type, aircraft length, width and GPS offsets. Wingtip Adapters If your wingtip or lighting configuration is not supported by skyBeacon, you can purchase a fairing adapter kit for various aircraft. 301 fairing (left) Aircraft Compatibility: 150L, 150M 152 175C 180G, 180H 182F, 182G, 182H, 182J, 182K, 182L, 182M, 182N 185, 185A, 185B, 185C, 185D, 185E, A185F P206E, U206E 302 fairing (left) Aircraft Compatibility 172L, 172M, 172N, 172P, 172Q, 172R, 172S 172RG 177B, 177RG 180J, 180K 182P, 182Q, 182R, 182S, 182T, R182, T182, TR182 185, 185A, 185B, 185C, 185D, 185E, A185F U206F, U206G TU206F, TU206G

skySensor

• skySensor, for experimental and certified aircraft, is the final piece for a complete skyBeacon installation. skySensor isn’t just the aesthetic match for your right wingtip, it also includes a dual-band ADS-B receiver, static pressure sensor, and internal GPS. Easily receive traffic and weather via WiFi to GDL90 compatible EFB applications. skySensor receives dual-band ADS-B traffic and subscription-free in-flight weather information on both 978MHz and 1090MHz, and delivers real-time aircraft positions and weather overlays to your favorite EFB supporting the GDL 90 protocol, including ForeFlight Mobile, FltPlan Go, FlyQ, Wing X, and others. The GPS position and baro altimeter provide the EFB with positioning and barometric altitude used for accurate depictions of relative positions and altitudes of nearby traffic.
