Flight data management provider Latitude Technologies has introduced its newest Iridium satellite network data communications device, the DL150 satellite data unit. The Canadian company created the DL150 for business and commercial jet operators seeking a lightweight, multifunction and affordable datalink device to complete their FANS 1/A+ installation. It supports ATS notification, ACARS and CPDLC messaging, as well as Arinc-741 and Arinc-618 protocols.
Based on Latitude’s SkyNode S100 transceiver, the device acts as a communications link for a FANS-compliant communication management unit. The unit also supports optional flight tracking and three-axis acceleration monitoring, and includes discrete inputs and outputs for optional event reporting.
Latitude (Booth C7830) also announced that Duncan Aviation is creating the first STC for the DL150, which will be added to Duncan’s Challenger 601 FANS 1/A+ STC program. The DL150 SDU provides the Iridium satellite connectivity for a FANS 1/A+ CPDLC and ACARS messaging system, allowing air-to-ground communication that meets the requirements of AC20-140B.
