ADS-B Position Sources

 
     

1201 WAAS/GPS

For light aircraft, the Model 1201 12 Channel Sensor provides a compact, lightweight package with a straightforward RS-232 interface through a D-Sub connector. As with all of our GPS sensors, there are no pilot controls. Once the unit is installed and configured to your aircraft it starts outputting data as soon as power is applied. The 1201 has been in service for many years as an approved ADS-B position source and as a TAWS position sensor on multiple platforms. The 1201 has the proud distinction of being the first WAAS GPS receiver to receive FAA TSO Authorization, and had been the position source on multiple ADS-B "firsts".  
     

 

 
     

1203C WAAS/GPS

Free Flight Systens flagship GPS Sensor is the model 1203C. Designed for Business, Airline Transport and heavy rotary wing aircraft, this unit contains a high performance 15 Channel GPS Engine, with improved interference protection and faster update rates than its small aircraft cousins. The unit is housed in a sealed, environmentally robust package (ARINC 743A Alternative Mounting Scheme) allowing it to be located either in the aircraft equipment bay or under the aircraft skin - close to the antenna location to minimize expensive coaxial cable runs. The data interface makes the unit compatible with most transponders - important for ADS-B applications. The 1203C is in service worldwide as an ADS-B position source, as a navigation sensor and as a timing source for datalinks.

For larger aircraft, the Model 1203C offers additional benefits. The unit meets the standards for advanced Required Navigation Performance (RNP) operations. Is currently operating in certified RNP(0.3) systems on Airline Transport aircraft with no other GPS equipment. These aircraft the unit also acts as the ADS-B position source - and in some cases as a Datalink (CPDLC) timing source. These aircraft have achieved full compliance with all key NextGen ATM requirements using the simple and affordable 1203C sensor as the key system sensor.
