328 has partnered with Columbia Jet Service GmbH to offer an STC for ADS-B Out featured by Rockwell Collins on Gulfstream G150 & G200 aircraft, representing around 360 aircraft worldwide. Recently, 328 completed an EASA STC for Gulfstream G200 based on Rockwell Collins transponder and GPS system. The contract was awarded from ACC Columbia, the work was performed in Altenrhein, Switzerland at Altenrhein Aviation Ltd.

ADS-B is seen as being vital to maintaining future efficient airspace management in busy airspace. ADS-B uses satellite and transponder technology to provide the following benefits in an ADS-B environment: More aircraft can operate safely in the same airspace, so congestion is reduced. ADS-B technology enables more direct aircraft routing – this can generate significant time and fuel savings. in addition, ADS-B enhances flight safety and collision avoidance. 

Aircraft with ADS-B Out provide air traffic controllers with ‘pin point’ positional and flight information data.

This enhances aircraft visibility and reduces the risk of air to air collision safety and comfort and reduces the overall cost of ownership. Fly safer and comply now with the ADS-B out mandate.

ADS-B Out is already mandatory in the following regions:

• Australia
• Canada (Hudson Bay and Oceanic Airspace)
• China
• Hong Kong
• Singapore
• Vietnam

Future ADS-B Out Mandates in the following regions:

• Europe: Retrofit all aircraft by June 7, 2020.
• United States: All Aircraft by January 1, 2020
• Seychelles: Retrofit all aircraft by Dec. 7, 2017
• Indonesia: Beginning January 1, 2018
• Taiwan: December 31, 2016

328 and ACC Columbia offer:

• Minimal Aircraft Downtime
• Less cost intensive than other ADS-B out installations.
• No significant change of the original aircraft equipment
• Impact to AC configuration negligible.
• EASA and FAA validated
