With a simple rear position light upgrade, the uAvionix tailBeacon offers FAA 2020 ADS-B Out mandate compliance to certified or experimental aircraft.  (tailBeacon offers 978 UAT transmission, making it a valid ADS-B Out choice up to 18,000 feet.)

tailBeacon works with any existing Mode C Transponder.  uAvionix’s patented power transcoder technology seamlessly communicates with your existing legacy transponder over your aircraft’s electrical system.  (Please note that the tailBeacon should not be installed with a Mode S Transponder.)

Just because you are ADS-B equipped, doesn’t mean you want to be tracked. With tailBeacon’s Anonymous Mode, your aircraft identification remains hidden from the ADS-B OUT signal while squawking 1200. Anonymous Mode keeps the skies safe while protecting your privacy.

tailBeacon contains its own TSO Certified uAvionix truFYX WAAS GPS.  You have no additional GPS to purchase or integrate with!

There’s more to tailBeacon than just ADS-B compliance. By replacing your existing rear position light with tailBeacon, you’re getting a 2x brighter LED nav light with a fraction of the power consumption. With tailBeacon’s 20,000 hour rated LEDs, you can fly with confidence knowing your rear’s covered.

The new tailBeacon is the easiest, most affordable installation on the market. Simply remove your existing position light, install the mounting bracket, connect to existing power wires, slide in tailBeacon, and turn to lock in place. It’s that easy!

Mechanically installing tailBeacon is the first easy step. With uAvionix’s mobile app, configuration is just as simple. Our mobile application (available for both Apple iOS and Android) guides your installer through setting the necessary values including the ICAO address, emitter type, aircraft length, width and GPS offsets.
