Fokker Services is undergoing the production of a new STC for the B737 NG series. Fokker Services is currently installing SBAS/LPV-capable CMA-5024 receivers on one of their customers’ B737 NG aircraft. Their solution includes the Engineering Bulletin, relevant manual updates, a modification kit including all the pertinent materials to be modified, and 24/7 engineering support. Moreover, as a standalone solution it requires no changes to the aircraft’s existing avionics architecture, and due to the ILS look-a-like concept, it has no impact on the operational procedures. [...] It is excellent news since this solution will allow the certification of B737 NG aircraft for LPV operations and ADS-B Out, thus bringing SBAS, and therefore EGNOS technology, closer to its users.
We have been working with EGNOS for a long time. Today, we collaborate to bring the right data directly to our customers, outlining the cost-saving benefits.
