Aspen Avionics announced today that new initial ADS-B solutions are imminent. The certification packages are currently with the FAA. They are now accepting orders with deliveries estimated to begin the week of December 15th 2014 on their first two products, the ATX100 and ATX100G.
Critical Note: some non-Aspen branded certified ADS-B solutions may technically interface with an Aspen EFD Pro and/or MFD but will require a display software unlock of up to $2,000 list to display and control properly on the Pro and/or MFDs.
This unlock is unnecessary when using the ATX100 and ATX100G with Aspen displays. The Aspen PFD will act as the controller for ADS-B functions.
