  • The new T2000ADSB Transponder from Microair

    From Tom BravoMike@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 15 14:29:07 2022
    The Australian Microair began to advertise their new product, the T2000ADSB Transponder, to be released later this year. An option of having the older T2000SFL upgraded will also be available:

    https://www.microair.aero/2022/06/24/introducing-the-new-t2000ads-b/

    Looks interesting. What is not quite clear to me at first sight is where it fits within the current ADS-B Out or TABS system in the USA. Anyone could explain, please? Darryll Ram?
    Thanks in advance.

    Microair's description of their product is so sparse as to preclude any kind of insightful analysis. For example, they don't mention any compliance whatsoever with FAA TSOs. My guess is that they haven't secured those yet, which is why first delivery isn'
    t until Oct.

    From the brochure:

    TSO Equivalence

    C74c Class 1a
    C88a (to 30,000 feet)
    C166b Class B0 (with B1 power output)
    C199 Class B meeting 14 CFR 91.227(c)(1)
    Environmental DO-160G
    Software DO-178C DAL-C



    "TSO Equivalence" is still a bit ambiguous. It sounds Iike TSO certification is probably in process.

    Sounds uncertified to me. "In process" is equivalent to "the check is in the mail." Don't put a deposit down on something that doesn't exist, i.e. the GP-15.

    I think you're reading something into that that they didn't say. Sounds
    like the specs are equivalent to TSO specs, not that they intend to
    pursue actual certification.

    That falls into the category of either it is, or either it isn't - kinda like pregnancy.
