For aircraft not covered by the AML STC, the FAA issued a tech paper last year. The referenced "Installation Approval for ADS-B Out Systems" memorandum explains how certified ADS-B hardware can be approved as a follow-on installation, based on a previously approved STC. Because an initial STC exists, uAvionix said, subsequent skyBeacon installations can be performed on any ?suitable aircraft??which is any aircraft allowing installation without airframe modification?as a minor alteration, without an additional or airframe-specific STC.
A lawsuit filed by Garmin International against uAvionix in June, claiming that uAvionix is infringing on a Garmin patent with technology in the skyBeacon and other ADS-B hardware, is winding its way through U.S. District Court in Missoula, Montana, where multiple motions have been filed and answered; a jury trial currently is scheduled for February 2020. uAvionix disputes the allegation and said in a statement that the suit will not affect its certification or delivery of ADS-B hardware.
