EASA has issued Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) to GKN Fokker Services for ADS-B Out modification for the Boeing 747-400 and 757-200 and 757-300 aircraft, including freighter versions.
Each STC can be used to install all compliant transponder types in combination with every compliant GPS source offering, a unique and valuable solution to operators with mixed configurations in their fleet.
Multiple GKN Fokker Services customers have already ordered the Boeing 747 and 757 ADS-B Out modification enabling them to be prepared for both the FAA and EASA mandates in 2020. FAA validation of both EASA STCs will follow later this quarter.
