Lynx Brochure 2-18-15_MB-2005-10.qxd 2/20/2015 11:16 AM Page 2 LYNX NGT-9000 The Lynx MultiLink Surveillance System (MSS) is a single-box avionics ADS-B TRAFFIC solution packed full of ADS-B benefits. The Lynx family includes several One of the primary benefits of the ADS-B environment is the models, ranging from an ADS-B Out only unit to models with Wi-Fi traffic information it provides. The Lynx NGT-9000 offers display options for Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs). Several models flexibility to display traffic on the unit itself, as well as other display ADS-B information to cockpit Multi-Function Displays (MFDs). panel-mounted avionics that use the popular ARINC 429, The most notable model is the Lynx NGT-9000 - an intuitive touchscreen RS-232 or RS-422 protocols. The NGT-9000 model features display that is a form-factor replacement for existing transponders. The NGT-9000 offers a wide array of features and an option for an in-line Wi-Fi transmitter, enabling pilots to view ADS-B traffic on their PED (ipad) using a compatible app. is the most logical choice for pilots looking to take full advantage of the ADS-B NextGen flight environment. Since the Lynx NGT-9000 receives simultaneously on both 1090 MHz and 978 MHz, pilots will receive ADS-B traffic regardless of altitude or geographic location. Unique to the L-3 system is its patented Lynx Tail, providing detailed information of surrounding traffic, including flight ID, ground speed (GS) and aircraft classification (with corresponding icon) of participating ADS-B traffic. Shown Actual Size of 6.25 w x 1.8 h NEXTGEN ACTIVE TRAFFIC ENABLEMENT While ADS-B traffic is comprehensive, there are limitations to the service, including line of sight to station, non- TRANSPONDER WITH UAT 978 AND 1090 DUAL-BAND ADS-B RECEIVER/TRANSMITTER equipped areas, GPS signal integrity and non-participating aircraft. The Lynx NGT-9000 has the ability to be equipped with the L-3 NextGen Active Traffic enablement. This blends ADS-B with active traffic data, providing an The Lynx NGT-9000 series provides 1090ES (Mode S Extended Squitter) ADS-B Out as well as 1090 MHz and 978 MHz (UAT) ADS-B In. This provides ADS-B traffic (ADS-B, ADS-R and TIS-B) and FIS-B input. Embedded L-3 uninterrupted display of aircraft equipped with Mode A, C and S transponders. Adding L-3 NextGen Active Traffic also enables extended aural alerting of intruder aircraft position, such as Traffic, one o clock high, two miles. Existing NextGen Active Traffic and/or ADS-B antenna diversity are available options. Panel-mount (NGT-9000) and remote- SkyWatch owners can opt to reuse the system s antenna and cables. The L-3 NextGen Active Traffic enablement mount (NGT-9000R) versions are also available. All systems provide 14 CFR 91.227 compliance. A Wi-Fi interface is built into the NGT-9000+, eliminating the need for an external box and reducing weight and installation costs. module is available for connectivity to ipad and AndroidTM devices, with applications such as WingX Pro and SkyRadar (other apps pending). All Lynx MSS models incorporate a rule-compliant position source (WAAS/GPS) requiring no external GPS connections. Inputting data and adjusting settings are straightforward with the Lynx s bright and intuitive touchscreen display. The screen s touch and swipe sensitivity has been optimized to work in almost any flight environment. A single ADS-B target along with two active traffic symbols from the L-3 NextGen Active Traffic enablement are shown above. The transponder screen has been minimized to view traffic and weather simultaneously.

A second map page shows Winds and Temps Aloft data. This arrangement Aloft, AIRMETs and SIGMETs allows the pilot to quickly page through graphical weather screens and view large amounts of data without overloading a single page. A touch of the finger on the graphical weather map brings up corresponding textual data of ADS-B traffic (ADS-B, ADS-R and TIS-B) with option for the L-3 NextGen Active Traffic enablement the highlighted station or weather icon.

Similar to the weather map, touching an airport or zone icon on the graphical side of the NGT-9000 map brings up its corresponding textual data. This data is useful in all phases of flight, aiding pilots in planning proper routes and informing them about their departure and destination airports. L-3 s Lynx NGT-9000 is designed to fit almost any cockpit configuration... old or new. L-3 s Lynx NGT-9000R model is designed for use with newer integrated glass cockpits.
LYNX NGT-1000, 2000 AND 2500 MODELS The Lynx MultiLink Surveillance System (MSS) Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) appliances are available at a variety of price points and are fully compliant with the FAA s January 1, 2020 mandate for ADS-B Out. Like all Lynx systems, each model features an internal rule-compliant position source (WAAS/GPS) and can reuse existing wiring and antennas to reduce installation times and costs. When coupled with a popular Mode C or S transponder (GTX 327 or GTX 330)*, the NGT-1000, 2000 and 2500 models are some of the most straightforward and inexpensive options for ADS-B integration.
