Events related to aircraft missing over oceanic areas have led to several new requirements, amongst which is the introduction of a long-range Underwater Locator Device (ULD).

The ULD low frequency (8.8kHz) technology is used to increase the range at which aircraft submerged wreckage can be located.

It will be mounted on the aircraft structure free of sound absorbent materials and not in wing sections or empennage. The installation is in accordance with ARINC specification 667, which describes the removal, installation and maintenance aspects of an ULD installation.

Note that the ULD is not to be confused with the Underwater Locator Beacons (ULB) as installed on the CVR and FDRs. The ULD is complementary to the ULB and is mounted to the aircraft structure.

ICAO states that by January 1st 2018 aircrafts flying long range over water with a MTOW>27.000 kg must be equipped with an ULD. Long range over water is determined by the exceedance of the distance from a suitable emergency landing spot. The distance corresponds to 120 min at cruise speed or 400NM whichever is the lesser.

EASA states that by January 1st 2019 Passenger aircraft flying long range over water with a MTOW>27.000 kg and cargo aircraft with MTOW > 45.500kg must be equipped with an ULD. Long range over water is determined by a distance >180 NM from shore.

CARS 121 MOS 11.64 states that aircraft with a MTOW>27.000 kg carrying a life raft should have an ULD by December 2, 2023.

Other authorities have accepted similar rules.

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) refers to a constellation of satellites providing signals from space that transmit positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers. The receivers then use this data to determine position, altitude, time, and velocity. This performance can be improved by regional satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS).

SBAS improves the accuracy and reliability of GPS information by correcting signal measurement errors and by providing information about the integrity of its signals.  SBAS is essential for applications where accuracy and integrity are critical. SBAS is a key enabler of Performance Based Navigation (PBN) usage for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV).

Talon Aerospace LED logo light Assemblies to replace Halogen  replacement.

Do you recognize the following problems with your existing logo lights?

• Halogen bulbs are replaced frequently
• Lights are installed in difficult to reach areas and requires use of cherrypicker or lift
• Lens sealant does not have sufficient time to dry, leading to moisture ingress within horizontal stabilizer
• Transformer requires frequent replacement
• Incandescent bulb color temperature changes appearance of corporate logo

Get Light-Years ahead of your competition!

Talon Aerospace LED logo light assemblies are designed to allow for plug and play replacement for the existing HLX64621 halogen bulb based logo lights. Talon uses a rack to replace the OEM logo light housing. The LED module and transformer assembly are mounted to the rack. The OEM aircraft connector is mounted on the transformer assembly, making the LED logo light assembly plug and play.

The lens, lens gasket and hardware can be retained from the OEM unit, but Talon does make replacement lenses available for most applications. The Talon logo light assemblies operate on 115VAC 400Hz aircraft power. A transformer within the assembly steps the voltage down to 14V to power the LED module. All internal connectors are circular mil-spec connectors.

Talon and Proponent

Proponent is the exclusive global distributor of all Talon Aerospace products.
This relation provides customers with the latest generation of LED lights.

Proponent

Proponent is the new identity representing Kapco Global and Avio-Diepen as one united company, and the unique capabilities that the new organization brings to the aerospace market. With extensive experience in supporting the MRO, OEM and airline markets, our organization offers innovative inventory and supply chain management solutions to OEM and aftermarket customers.

Under certain circumstances, special conditions are required to operate the aircraft, for example for maintenance reposition fligth or a check flight. A non EASA aircraft manufacturer may issue No techical objection or similar statement that requires a coverage by a EASA DOA organisation.

This may need to be processed by a DOA organisation before it can be presented to EASA or local office for the application for a Permit to Fly.

With 350 engineers, 45 years of expertise and a large DOA scope, ECM Sky Services assists Airlines in their modification projects with cost effective turnkey solutions. From minor changes to complete VIP cabin design, ECM is a key partner as soon as expertise and reactivity are mandatory.

Existing TCAS II or TCAS 2000 RT-950 Computer Units equipped with Change 7.0 software are removed and replaced by TCAS 2000 Computer Units containing software for TCAS Change 7.1 functionality.

Change 7.0 software versions of TCAS II or TCAS 2000 RT-950 Computer Units, manufactured by Aviation Communications & Surveillance System (ACSS), formally Honeywell, are replaced by TCAS 2000 Computer Units containing software for TCAS Change 7.1 functionality. TCAS Change 7.1 changes the aural alert “Adjust Vertical Speed, Adjust” to “Level off, Level off.” In very low altitude situations, a “Descend” RA changes to a “Monitor Vertical Speed” aural alert with “Do Not Climb” vertical speed command
