SkyBeacon for my SkyMaster

Is it only certified to 18,000'? I'm trying to figure out if you could install it in a P337H certified to 20,000'?

Thanks,
Guy

Yes, this unit is a 978 UAT OUT only useable only in the United States below Class A airspace. This unit would not be practical for your purpose if you intend to fly at 18,000 feet or above (in Class A airspace) or outside the USA. You could install it on your airplane but would then be limited to altitudes below 18,000 feet after January 1st 2020.

You really need a 1090 OUT to realize the full capibility of your airplane. Those units are significantly more money. I installed the Stratus 1090 ESG Transponder in another airplane 2+ years ago and the total cost was $6500.00 less the $500 FAA rebate that I took advantage of at that time.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!

That's what I thought from the paperwork Ed, thanks. I'm just examining the options for potential buyers.

Best,
