The uAvionix skyBeacon is the simplest solution for 2020 ADS-B Out Compliance.  skyBeacon is the only wingtip-mounted ADS-B Out solution. it offers the lowest installation cost and largest approved model list of any UAT ADS-B Out solution.  (skyBeacon offers 978 UAT transmission, making it a valid ADS-B Out choice up to 18,000 feet.)

skyBeacon works with any existing Mode C Transponder.  uAvionix’s patented power transcoder technology seamlessly communicates with your existing transponder over your aircraft’s electrical system.  (Please note that the skyBeacon should not be installed with a Mode S Transponder.)

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.

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.

Extremely efficient LED position and anti-collision lighting complete the skyBeacon package.

Simply replace the aircraft position light, that’s it! No airframe modifications or additional antennas are required. Plus, it works with your existing 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.

Mechanically installing skyBeacon is the first easy step. With uAvionix’s mobile app, configuration is just as simple. The 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.
