Why can't a manufacturer put down, in writing, "This meets all FAA requirements"?
With experimental aircraft, the MFG cannot control the quality of the installation.

For uncertified equipment, the owner should obtain a statement of compliance from the supplier, along with installation instructions, that identifies that the ADS-B equipment complies with section 3 requirements of the applicable TSO and that, when installed in accordance with the installation instructions, complies with the aircraft requirements of 14 CFR 91.227.
Took a screen shot crossing Phoenix above the Bravo the other day. The screen was so jammed with airplanes, I am afraid to post it.
Those on the fence might sell their plane rather than equip. after looking at the crowds.
Aint it the truth! Good scan technique is a must. Got to be super viligant in PHX area...eyes outside the cockpit all the time.
Pressure altitude (29.92) is provided from a seperate altitude encoder or air data source to the ADS-B unit, this must be the same source that is used by your transponder.
The Transpon unit only sniffs squawk code, not altitude.
According to Bill, the Transmod unit gets squawk code AND pressure altitude from the transponder antenna cable.
Just got a response from Navworx on their next projected delivery date.
Looks like at position 22 it will now be Mid November or 10 months since ordering. My TransmonSPE, both antennas and wiring harness have been installed in my 2005 RV7a since April.

Anybody receive their units lately? Anxiously trying to decide whether to order and hope a Navworx shows up someday or go with the Freeflight Rangr....
I sell and install both. They still beat the prices of the FreeFlight even on the certified unit.
Has anyone with the installed units received report from the FAA verifying compliance?
I understand you can email the FAA
([email protected]) and they will give you a report on your ADS-B out performance
For uncertified equipment, the owner should obtain a statement of compliance from the supplier, along with installation instructions, that identifies that the ADS-B equipment complies with section 3 requirements of the applicable TSO and that, when installed in accordance with the installation instructions, complies with the aircraft requirements of 14 CFR 91.227. The FAA expects manufacturers to perform appropriate engineering efforts to ensure the equipment complies with all requirements of Section 3 of the TSO before issuing their statement of compliance, and expects installers to consider the guidance in the current version of AC 20-165 when performing the installation.

Are you a FreeFlight dealer now?
I am.
Btw, I received a tracking number from Navworx today. They are finally shipping.

I guess I must be the squeaky wheel. I understood they had more than mine going out.
