ADS-B simplest compliance....??
 

...this government mandate is coming and need to begin to the process to comply.

Have GRT Sport EFIS and Becker mode S transponder. What do I need to get this aircraft in compliance?

Thanks.

Dave,
We can talk about it next week when we go to lunch. Which Becker transponder do you currently have?

Bill,
Thanks.
This is the unit

It has Becker blind encoder attached to it.

The Becker you have is a class 2 unit (low power) which is not approved for ADS-B out (class 1 is required).

Two paths are available to you. Neither has anything to do specifically with the GRT Sport. (I have three Sx's in my RV6).

UAT - a dedicated box/system that does everything (e.g. NavWorX)

1090ES transponder - Garmin (330ES) or Trig (TT-31 or TT-22).

Certified position source - e.g. Garmin 430W, Garmin 650, newly released position source GPS from Garmin, or AviDyne (I think).

If your Sport is an HX then it will remotely operate a Trig 22 box without the control head.
Only ADSB-out is required, but the -in is relatively inexpensive. Many UAT boxes include "in" (but not all); with the transponder route you need a separate "in" box. Be sure to get one that will display on the GRT.

There are several gps position sources that are less expensive than the full-up navigators (but not cheap).

Maybe not cheap, but easiest...

I think you will also need a "certified" GPS. The one in the Sport is not certified.

I sell the L3 NGT-9000 for $5895 with everything included. When you add up the price for a new transponder, certified GPS source and ADS-B receiver it's really very competitive.
It also has a very nice touch screen display that shows weather and traffic.

ADS-B 101.
Getting an education quick.
Thanks.
What is the compliance date before we are grounded without it?
