Duncan Aviation is proud to partner with ACSS to participate in the launch of the NXT-700 transponder and the development of the Approved Model List (AML) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC).

The NXT-700 is a Mode S transponder that satisfies the DO-260B mandate for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), and the AML STC will include more than a dozen legacy aircraft models. 

Those models include:

· Beechcraft Hawker 125-400, 600 and 700
· Beechcraft Hawker 400 SP/Beechjet, Early 400 Series
· Gulfstream IIB, III and V
· IAI Westwind 1124
· Textron Aviation CitationJet, Ultra, V, VII and 550
· Learjet 31A, 35, 35A, 36 and 36A
· Dassault Aviation Falcon 10, 20, 50, 200, 900 and 900B
· Bombardier CL-6013A and 3R

ACSS Offers NXT-700 ADS-B Compliant Transponder for Legacy Corporate Aircraft

ACSS, an L-3 and Thales Company, has developed an ADS-B transponder solution for legacy corporate aircraft, the NXT-700. This next-generation Mode S transponder will satisfy the DO-260B mandate for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) on many legacy aircraft models and will reduce owner/operator costs, as well as downtime, because it is a “one-quarter ATR short” form-fit installation.

The IAI 1124A ‘Westwind II’ series aircraft is to be modified with the installation of an Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS II).  The system to be installed is a Honeywell CAS-67A Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS II).

Installation of a Honeywell TCAS 2000 Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System II (TCAS II).

Installation of AlliedSignal CAS-66A traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS I).

The Collins TCAS-4000 Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System provides the enhanced situational awareness required for operation in the ever increasing air traffic environment.

CAS 67A TCAS II Enhanced/ACAS II for corporate and regional aviation was the first system of its type to receive FAA technical standard order (TSO) approval. Beginning December 1, 2015 EASA requires aircraft fitted with ACAS II/TCAS II Traffic Systems operating in Europe; must  meet the requirements defined in MOPS Change 7.1 (DO-185B). The CAS 67B now includes Change 7.1 (DO-185B)  offering  all the TCAS II levels of protection required and needed in today's increasingly complex flight environment.

Derived from the GNS-X, the industry’s most popular navigation management system, the GNS-XLS Enhanced Flight Management System represents a natural evolutionary step in a low cost FMS. With a built-in GPS receiver, the GNS-XLS Enhanced provides en route, terminal and non-precision approach navigation capability. It also offers text and graphical weather through our exclusive AFIS® Airborne Flight Information Service.

You rely on your aircraft and its systems to successfully and safely get you and your passengers to their destination, every time.  Your aircraft has served you faithfully.  You know its history.  You rely on it to get you around the weather and to the destination on time, every time.  Do you worry about reliability of your aging equipment?  Are you concerned how much longer repair parts are going to be available?  Have you heard that the new equipment is smaller and lighter?  A few dozen more pounds of payload would be nice.  When looking at the bottom line, new equipment must not only work with your current configuration, but the upgrades you are planning for in the future.
