The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued
Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) No. ST04184NY for installation
of AerSale®’s AerTrak® system on Boeing 777-200 series aircraft to
comply with the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)
Operations rule, a critical part of the agency’s Next Generation
Air Transportation System (NextGen). Beginning January 1, 2020, the
FAA has mandated that aircraft operating in airspace defined by 14
CFR § 91.225 must be equipped with an ADS-B Out system that meets
the minimum performance requirements of 14 CFR § 91.227. The FAA
previously approved AerTrak for Boeing 737 Classic and NG series
aircraft (ST04009NY) and Boeing 757-200 series aircraft
(ST04011NY).
ADS-B provides enhanced navigational accuracy using precise
tracking via global positioning satellite (GPS) signals. Reducing
risk and improving safety, the technology increases navigational
coverage, especially in remote areas beyond radar range.
Additionally, ADS-B enables more direct flight plans, thereby
saving time, costs, and reducing emissions.
“AerTrak is the innovative Engineered Solution™ we developed to
help our customers cost-effectively and quickly achieve compliance
with the ADS-B Operations rule,” said Nicolas Finazzo, Executive
Chairman of AerSale. “AerSale proactively creates these unique
technically advanced Engineered Solutions to satisfy new regulatory
mandates well before compliance deadlines are reached.”
“Operators of Boeing 777-200 series aircraft now join the ranks
of those operating Boeing 737 Classic, 737 NG, and 757-200 series
aircraft with an easy path to ADS-B Out compliance prior to the
rapidly approaching deadline,” said Iso Nezaj, Chief Technical
Officer of AerSale. “In addition to offering significant cost
savings, AerTrak can be used with any OEM transponder/MMR
combination and seamlessly integrates with most existing avionics
and cockpit controls, making it an especially attractive
solution.”
AerTrak kits include all necessary parts and can be installed by
AerSale’s technicians at any hangar worldwide. Lead time for
ordering AerTrak is currently four weeks and allows operators to
avoid potential installation facility backlogs, component
shortages, and price premiums as the 2020 compliance deadline
nears.
AerSale’s innovative Engineered Solutions such as AerTrak
include in-house alternative repairs and modifications designed to
lower replacement part costs and provide cost-saving means of
complying with regulatory mandates and recommendations. These
Engineered Solutions reduce downtime, decrease capital investment
required for aircraft upgrades, and extend aircraft service
life.
