uAvionix tailBeacon
General Description
uAvionix tailBeacon - is a TSO certified, revolutionary new way to equip ADS-B out for certified aircraft. This rear position nav light is integrated with ADS-B Out, GPS, and LED position lighting. The tailBeacon will work with any Mode C transponder which meets the 2020 ADS-B requirements. The easy installation is as simple as replacing the aft aircraft position light. There are no airframe modifications or additional antennas required. The installation only requires two screws and reuses the existing power and ground to your current position light as well as the existing breaker. Due to the unique design and technology of the tailBeacon, there is no need to run any new wiring to the transponder. Light Sport aircraft are also eligible for installation but require a Letter of Authorization from the manufacturer.
Goof-Proof Configuration, mechanically installing an ADS-B solution is only half the battle. The skyBeacon mobile application can also be used to configure tailBeacon. The intuitive, easy to use app guides you through setting the necessary values including the ICAO address, emitter type, aircraft length, width and GPS offsets. Since tailBeacon is self-contained there are no serial ports settings or protocols to configure.
