West Star Aviation and Universal Avionics are jointly providing an incentive to encourage Falcon 50 operators to schedule ADS-B upgrades for their legacy Universal Avionics FMS units. Under the incentive program, Universal (Booth N5733) is offering to double exchange upgrade values for each legacy Universal FMS exchanged for a Universal WAAS/SBAS FMS. The new FMS helps provide the required foundation for ADS-B out upgrades. West Star (Booth N4421) is providing additional discounts.
Rolled out here at NBAA 2015, the incentive program is available for a limited time; orders must be placed before December 31 and must ship to West Star by March 31. The companies are hoping to incentivize earlier equipage in face of the looming 2020 deadline. “Operators waiting to make this critical decision may be left grounded because installation shop time and available hardware will be in escalating demand as the mandate deadline closes,” said Mary Rhine, director of sales for West Star.
