Ultima-DT is a fixed Emergency Locator Transmitter – Distress Tracking type, designed to meet the ICAO GADSS ADT requirement which will be applicable in January 2023. Adaptable to any commercial aircraft, its trigger-in-flight capability detects imminent distress situations and automatically sends a secure 406 MHz distress signal including the accurate aircraft position.
ADVANTAGES
Accurate location
The beacon’s location is determined through its embedded GNSS receiver, using both GPS and Galileo satellite constellations for faster signal detection and robust position acquisition.
Non-rechargeable lithium battery
Ultima-DT combines the latest generation of lithium battery technology and a smart design, which enables the unit to comply with the latest FAA / EASA lithium battery requirements (DO-227A & (E)TSO-142b).
Compliant with the ADT regulation
Ultima-DT autonomously transmits information from which a position can be determined at least once every minute when in a distress condition. As part of the GADSS ADT requirements, the information containing the aircraft location is available to the relevant authorities such as traffic services and SAR Regional Coordination Centers.
