ExecuJet MRO Services South Africa has successfully completed a series of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast installations across various business jet types, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of advanced avionics upgrades in Africa. The work follows a recent South African Civil Aviation Authority directive mandating that all aircraft operating in South African airspace be ADS-B Out compliant and fitted with the relevant ADS-B/Mode S 1090 MHz Extended Squitter transponders. This requirement enhances real-time tracking and strengthens the safety and efficiency of airspace management.
ExecuJet’s avionics team at Johannesburg’s Lanseria International Airport performed ADS-B modifications on several Bombardier, Learjet, Embraer, Hawker and Beechcraft platforms, including two Learjet 45s and a Hawker 800XP, with similar additional upgrades scheduled before year-end.
Vince Goncalves, Regional VP Africa, ExecuJet MRO Services commented: “Our team is very experienced doing such installations. As an authorised dealer for major global avionic equipment manufacturers, we are capable of supporting business jet owners and operators with complex avionic upgrades that meet the latest international standards.”
Depending on the aircraft configuration, ADS-B upgrades may involve installing or upgrading a DO-260B compliant transponder and enhancing the GPS system for Wide Area Augmentation capability.
ExecuJet MRO Services South Africa’s Lanseria facility is certified to perform ADS-B upgrades on a broad range of business aircraft in accordance with OEM service bulletins and/or approved supplemental type certificates.
