Peregrine Expands Aircraft Covered Under TCAS II 7.1 Update

Peregrine received approval to expand the list of aircraft covered under its STC for the updated traffic alert and collision avoidance system software, TCAS II 7.1. The STC, obtained in August, originally covered an update of the BendixKing CAS 67 system to support TCAS II Change 7.1 aboard the Learjet 31A, Citation 650, Hawker 800A, Gulfstream IV and Challenger 601-3A and 601-3R. This expansion now covers the CAS 67 systems on other legacy Gulfstreams, Falcons, Hawkers, Challengers and Learjets.

The STC addresses a mandate for TCAS II Change 7.1 in aircraft operating in European airspace. EASA in late 2011 required that TCAS systems incorporate a modification to the “Adjust Vertical Speed” resolution advisory and added features to monitor resolution advisory compliance. The deadline for the update is Dec. 20, 2015.

Englewood, Colo.-based Peregrine is offering the STC bundled with an upgraded TPU 67B processor. The engineering services firm includes installation details in the data package.
