Comprehensive Avionics Installation Services
The SACAA directive mandates that all aircraft operating in South African airspace be ADS-B Out compliant, equipped with ADS-B/Mode S 1090 MHz Extended Squitter transponders. This regulation improves airspace management, operational efficiency, and flight safety.
ExecuJet’s skilled avionics team at Lanseria International Airport performed aviation equipment installation and modifications on several Bombardier, Learjet, Embraer, Hawker, and Beechcraft aircraft, including two Learjet 45s and a Hawker 800XP. Additional ADS-B upgrades are scheduled to be completed before the end of the year.jetaviationcorp.com+1
