April 27, 2017 – Pro Star Aviation has received FAA approval for the amendment to STC ST00158BO, which adds upgraded single or dual Universal Avionics Flight Management Systems (FMS) for Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS)-capability. The newly amended STC applies to Cessna Citations; 550, 550 Bravo, 560, 560XL and 560XLS series aircraft.
The certified installation includes either Universal Avionics single UNS-1Espw FMS and LP/LPV Monitor, or dual UNS-1Lw FMSs; both with the company's latest software version, SCN 1001.X.
"To complement this STC, Pro Star has two AML STCs available for purchase which utilize Universal Avionics SBAS-FMS and Rockwell Collins TDR-94(D) Mode S Transponder, which together provide equipage requirements to meet the upcoming FAA ADS-B Out mandate," said Robert Randall, U.S. Senior Sales Manager for Universal Avionics. "We are excited to be able to offer this solution for Cessna Citations and we have multiple incentive programs to help these operators equip today," he added.
SCN 1001.X is Universal's latest FMS software version and in addition to enhanced ADS-B Out functionality, it offers significant upgrades from previous software versions; improved user interface, upgraded comm radio tuning, improved lateral guidance/steering, upgraded precision approach (SBAS) and non-precision approach performance, as well as newly revised maintenance and configuration sections.
"This new software offers the latest operational upgrade to one of the most successful and well-liked standalone FMSs in the Business Aircraft Marketplace," said Jeffrey Shaw, Director of Business and Development for Pro Star Aviation. "Approval for this STC came from Pro Star Aviation's in-house FAA STC Organization Designation Authorization (ODA)," he added. The STC can be purchased by contacting Pro Star Aviation directly, or any Universal Avionics Authorized Dealer; either are authorized to perform this upgrade. For an added convenience, Pro Star's installation teams can perform this service on-site in Londonderry, NH or off-site at an operator's home facility via the company's ON-THE-FLY Service option.
