t Meacham International Airport in Fort Worth,
Texas, Trimec Aviation is helping Gulfstream
operators meet the upcoming ADS-B Out
mandate. In early 2016, the FAA-certified repair station
received supplemental type certificates on the Astra SPX/
Gulfstream G100 and Galaxy/Gulfstream G200 equipped
with the Rockwell Collins TDR-94/94D transponder. By
August, Trimec Aviation had already completed eight
installations on the Galaxy/G200 and two on the Astra/G100.
"The only other companies to offer an ADS-B STC for
the G200 is Gulfstream and CMD," said Scott Wolcott,
marketing manager for Trimec Aviation. "Gulfstream uses
Garmin transponders. CMD's STC is similar to ours but
uses a Skylight box. We worked directly with Collins and
Universal to offer another option."

major inspection and avionics

Spearheaded by avionics manager John Holland, the
STC development took about eight months. The STC pairs
the Rockwell Collins transponder with either the Universal
UNS-1(-)W FMS or the Rockwell Collins GPS-4000S.
Holland completed the engineering drawings and wiring
diagrams.
"We do not use an annunciator box like the Skylight
Avionics box for annunciation," said Holland, who also
helped develop RVSM STCs for the Westwind and Astra.
"Our STC is more simple, utilizing the Collins or Universal
boxes to provide this annunciation. The new Universal FMS
software outputs ADS-B info for the cockpit."
During the ADS-B STC development, Trimec Aviation
purchased some of the engineering data, reducing the
development timeframe and giving operators the ability to
equip sooner rather than later. Wolcott worries that two years
from now, operators will be in panic mode but shops won't
have the capacity to accommodate all of the aircraft that have
to be ADS-B compliant.
"With RVSM, pilots and flight department managers were
in denial, saying it wasn't going to happen, that the FAA
will change the rules," Wolcott said. "It's similar today with
ADS-B. As a result, the original cost 15 years ago to do
RVSM on a Westwind was about $70,000. People waited
and waited, while on the manufacturers' side, the cost of
materials and equipment went up. Essentially, by the time it
was all said and done, RVSM turned out to be a $120,000 to
$130,000 project.
