ATR833A and BFI57 are now available
It took a little while, but finally our new products ATR833A and BFI57 are now available. The ATR833A is an EASA approved complete solution for small aircraft in a 160mm housing with the new channel separation of 8,33kHz. It offers the same functionality as our well proven radio ATR833 in the 57mm form factor. It should be noted that at this occasion the operation concept of the ATR833A could be significantly optimised. Deliveries to various customers have already started in August 2010. Our new basic flight instrument BFI57 for ultralight aircraft application is now available as well. It contains pressure sensors for the determination of altitude, airspeed and climb/descent rate and a built-in GPS receiver which allows the determination of ground track, present position and ground speed. The BFI57 is not only suited as a minimum cockpit instrumentation for ULs, but also as a backup instrument in combination with classic instruments or glass cockpits. In several flight campaigns the system could prove its capabilities. For further information please make use of our customer service area on our homepage. We are happy that with this extension of our product range we continue to meet the high expectations of our various customers.

Funkwerk Avionics presents new developments at the AERO 2010 in Friedrichshafen
It is the first time this year that the AERO2010 is organised every year. Also in 2010 we are happy to present new development from Funkwerk Avionics. In particular we would like to mention our traffic monitor TM250 (available since summer 2009) as well as our newly developed basic flight instrument BFI57. The BFI57 contains pressure sensors for the detmerniation of altitude, airsped and climb/descent rate and a built-in GPS receiver which allows the determination of ground track, present position and ground speed. The BFI57 is further a cornerstone of our glass cockpit FAVISIA which is currently only offered to aircraft manufacturers. Of course we do present as well our proven transponders TRT800H/A and transceiver (ATR500, ATR833, ATR833A), which are in use onboard thousands of General Aviation aircraft in Europe. We meet you at the AERO.

Ulm, February 2010 EASA awards contract for Mode S study to consortium led by Funkwerk Avionics
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has awarded to Funkwerk Avionics GmbH the contract to manage the project "Mode S Transponders in High-Density Operational Environments" (MOSTDONT). Project partner to Funkwerk Avionics is FCS Flight Calibration Services GmbH, Braunschweig. The Institute of Flight Guidance (IFF) of the Technical University Braunschweig is a subcontractor to Funkwerk Avionics. The MOSTDONT project aims at investigating various aspects of Mode S transponder detection for aircraft in high-density environments with a special focus on General Aviation. The main focus is to measure and analyse the real-world 1030 MHz interrogation signals in flight and to propose improvements of current certification standards based on those findings. While FCS will have the scientific lead and be responsible for conducting and analysing the measurement flights, Funkwerk Avionics as a leading European manufacturer of Mode S transponders will focus on necessary changes to certification test specifications. The IFF will investigate interference problems in the interrogation signals, based on recordings of existing Mode S monitoring stations. Additional aspects to be addressed are the impacts of single-antenna installations and the characteristics of radar side lobe suppression signals. The MOSTDONT project was started on February 1st, 2010, and has a duration of 7 months. ( Press Release 01/2010)
