FREEFLIGHT SYSTEMS' line of ADS-B systems are now shipping and are
available for installation. The RANGR Lite systems recently received FAA STC
and AML certification.
The RANGR Lite systems are available in two configurations; an ADS-B Out
(only) system, the FDL-978-TXL priced at $1,995, and an ADS-B In/Out system,
the FDL-978-XVRL priced at $3,695. Pricing for each system includes built-in
WAAS/GPS, ADS-B and GPS antennas, an install kit, control head, and/or Wi-Fi
module if needed.
The RANGR Lite products are a part of the Company's Equip-It 2020 Program
that offers ADS-B equipment for light GA aircraft that breaks the $2,000 barrier
for a basic, but compliant, system.
"Since announcing our Equip-It Program in April, we have received an extraordinary response for our certified, low-cost Lite units," said TIM TAYLOR, president and CEO of FreeFlight Systems. "We are ready to meet program requirements and ship systems at high rates."
According to the company, FreeFlight has committed to build 10,000 Lite systems in response to the demand from customers looking for a low-cost option for
equipage to meet the Jan. 1, 2020, mandate for ADS-B.
