Kyle Cobble with the FAA responded that he is "considering" my request ... at least it was not immediately rejected! I'll certainly update this thread as soon as I hear something - positive or negative.

Retaining the NavWorx as a receiver would be a perfect solution for me as I now have a wingtip-mounted uAvionix "skyBeacon" ADS-B out. uAvionix provided me with a pre-production prototype and my blog about the skyBeacon and an installation tutorial are here: http://www.zenith.aero/profiles/blog...ion-and-review (You really don't need much of a tutorial because the installation is incredibly easy - 2 wires, 3 screws, and you're done!)

Fingers crossed on the NavWorx!

Disable TX in the console and disconnected the transponder input? Worst case is to repackage the hardware after disabling the transmitter.

I talked to Dallas Avonics today, and they say a simple, fairly inexpensive solution is just about to be annouced. Stay tuned.

Ive been a slow learner but have now become immune to most of these reports of whats ABOUT to be announced for NW products.

A "solution" as in an AMOC so the NavWorx ADS600-EXP can continue to be fully functional (IN and OUT ADSB), OR, a "solution" as in an alternative product to replace the NavWorx EXP???

My interpretation is that it's an alternative product to replace all Navworx units. We'll have to wait for the announcement. At least Scott isn't preannouncing specifics until he is sure he can deliver.

No "permission" is required from the FAA to operate a receiver in our aircraft.
This was my reaction as well... Why are people even asking the FAA about this? Just disable the transmitter as suggested, and fly on...

The fuzziness comes in with the language from the AD. It basically states to disable and remove all Navwork units.

I don't think the FAA cares if it doesn't transmit. Getting an AMOC would be the safe bet if checked and an overzealous inspector wonders why you haven't complied with the AD.

Your Navworx box is broadcasting a WIFi signal that clearly tells anyone nearby that you have one on board. It would certainly be a easy way to target you for a ramp check.
