-
Second Generation Beacons (SGB) Compliant:
The Ultima-AF enables precise real-time location tracking, surpassing the accuracy that the current First Generation Beacons (FGB) system cannot achieve.
-
Internal Antenna:
The internal backup antenna functions independently of the aircraft, significantly increasing the chance of successfully transmitting your position via the 406MHz frequency to Cospas-Sarsat search and rescue satellites, even if the main antenna is damaged or the connection cable is severed.
-
Integrated Navigation Interface:
The Ultima-AF can be connected to the aircraft's ARINC429 or RS232 systems, which enhances the accuracy of the distress signals being reported.
