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.

ATC Transponder Upgrade for ADS-B for Boeing 777

Model: 777-200, 777-200R, 777-300, 777-300R, 777F

As the air traffic is continuously growing, there is a steady increasing demand on improving navigation systems and landing efficiency. The Integrated Multi Mode Receiver (IMMR) is a comprehensive and fully digital navigation receiver that integrates Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), Global Position Systems (GPS), GPS Landing System (GLS) and VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR) functionality.

Lufthansa Technik’s (LHT) STC enables you to replace existing Multi Mode Receivers in order to extend the functionality of your aircraft by a Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) - capable GPS module as well as ILS.
SBAS is a navigation aid that augments the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) providing a more accurate and reliable navigation service.

The Instrument Landing System (ILS) is a navigational aid and provides position data of the airplane for landing approaches. It is designed to receive and process localizer and glideslope information.

The activation of VOR, GLS and Marker Beacon is not yet a part of the scope of this above listed STC.  

The above listed EASA STC has been validated or approved by the following aviation authority agencies:

• FAA       (ST04443NY, Date of issue: 2020/01/31)

• ANAC National Civil Aviation Agency - Brazil (2019S08-16, Date of issue: 2019/06/12)

The 1st FAA Certified LED Anti-Collision Light for Commercial Aircraft

Dependability, Weight Savings and Inventory Reduction

The Talon Aerospace anti-collision centerline/fuselage strobe light is designed to replace all incandescent based centerline lights installed on Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell/Douglas, Embraer, Bombardier and other regional aircraft. 

During retrofit the operator will purchase an install kit, which includes an adaptor and harness assembly. On airframes that have accessibility provisions inside the interior the upper centerline light allows removal from inside the cabin. The harness and adaptor will last the lifetime of the airframe.
