Cobham AvComm (Booth 1953) has introduced a new app to allow operators to check that their aircraft’s ADS-B equipment is working correctly. The ADS-B Integrity Test Application controls Cobham’s IFR6000 or IFR6015 transponder test sets, as well as the GPSG-1000 Positional Simulator. These are required by FAA to support supplemental type certification and post-approval testing of ADS-B equipment.
For research and development and factory testing, the app will control Cobham’s IFF-45TS/A MK XII/A bench test set and the GPSG-1000 for ADS-B OUT performance. The system can generate a complete ADS-B OUT compliance report, formatted to FAA requirements and including total latency measurements and pass/fail criteria.
