Continuing our commitment to bring new products to market for our customers, we proudly announce the newest addition to our radar altimeter product line: the RAD-40 Display, specially designed to work with either the RA-4000 or RA-4500, all TSO-certified. The RAD-40 is a panel-mount digital display that provides height above ground level to the pilot on a bright LED readout. This new display features a pilot-selectable Decision Height and five additional trip points, all with discrete outputs that can control an audible tone. We prioritized accuracy and reliability in the design of the RAD-40 and offer it today at an affordable price well-suited to these challenging financial times.

Applying systems engineering know-how, our team developed an efficient, effective, and economical ADS-B solution for helicopter, general aviation, and business jet operators. Our ADS-B Out System combines a 978 MHz data radio with our TSO-certified 1201 or 1203 GPS/WAAS sensor, twin antennas, and compact control head. This solution provides the operator with WAAS accuracy, along with the ability to broadcast ADS-B “out” aircraft position information. We understand downtime is costly to customers, which is why the system is designed so minimal change is necessary to existing cockpits. Our early development of this ADS-B solution demonstrates a commitment to helping customers incorporate the latest safety features into their aircraft.

Remember that the 4MB Upgrade Program for our TSO-certified, approach-capable GPS Navigation Management Systems is underway. The date for when the Approach model upgrades will be necessary has been extended to June 4, 2009. The June 4, 2009 deadline for the Approach Plus models remains unchanged. To avoid interruption to your Jeppesen NavData services, please contact us or your Avionics Dealer as soon as possible to schedule an upgrade.
