Mode S and ADS-B Capability
Designed to meet future airspace requirements, the TT31 transponder’s Mode S technology enables compliance with the U.S. 2020 ADS-B mandate. As the world’s first transponder certified to TSO-C166b, it sets a high standard for airspace compliance. ADS-B Out functionality allows the TT31 to support ADS-B In traffic reception, a necessity for U.S.-based operations according to FAA requirements.
Product Design
The TT31 operates efficiently, using only half the power of traditional transponders while transmitting at higher signal strength. This reduces waste heat and power load on the aircraft system, enhancing reliability. Designed for flexible installation, the TT31 supports both 14V and 28V systems without requiring dropper resistors. Additionally, it can interface with parallel and serial altitude encoders, providing a convenient altitude source for compatible GPS systems.
