MST 67A
- Remote mounted Mode S Transponder designed to fulfill role of airborne beacon equipment
- Designed TO MEET TSO C112 FAA specification for ATCRBS/Mode Select Airborne Transponder System
- Fully compatible with conventional Mode A and C transponder formats
- TCAS versions permit rapid transmission of compressed bursts of communications, enabling on-board processors to coordinate between TCAS-equipped aircraft
- Modem-like feature also permits exchange of other useful information such as weather forecasts, safety advisories and terminal data directly to pilot
- Contains automatic self-test
- Can be used with either panel-mount KFS-578A control unit with gas discharge display or DZUS-mount CTA-81A control unit with liquid crystal display (not applicable to -2001 and -2101 P/Ns)
- Both control units also serve as aircraft's TCAS controller
- Non TCAS or TCAS compatible versions available (see table below)
- Version available with remote IDENT features allowing for IDENT transmission from source other than control unit, with limited or full Built In Test Equipment fault annunciation [BITE] , with Limited Level 2 data link capability that supports TCAS only as defined by DO-181A MOPS, with Level 3 (Comm A/B and Comm C ELM) datalink and Flight ID reporting which also have seperate ADLP input/output ARINC 429 ports as defined by DO-181A MOPS and ARINC 718, with Flight ID ARINC 429 input port as defined by DO-181A MOPS and ARINC 7, with burst tuning compatible with "burst mode" control word format where tuning data is transmitted only during tuning activity and not refreshed in between
- Enhanced versions available to comply with Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance Mode S mandates (-2001/2101 versions)
- -0601, -1301, -1602 non-enhanced versions can be upgraded to -2101 version ($8000 est.)
- -2001 non-diversity unit can be upgraded to -2101 unit by the factory, Olathe facility or Toulouse France facility
