NavWorx ADS600-B 2.0: Resolving The FAAs AD

As we reported in the January 2017 Aviation Consumer, the model ADS600-B ADS-B In/Out transceiver from NavWorx was hit with an AD (airworthiness directive) and an unapproved parts notification that forced owners to have their systems removed, and shops and distributors to shelve the products in their inventory. Affecting nearly 600 systems in the field, it was the first ADS-B product hit with an AD.

If you own one of these ADS600-B/EXP-series systems (part numbers 200-0012, 200-0013 and 200-8013), NavWorx has a solution with the second-gen ADS600-B 2.0 product. But as we go to press, the new 2.0 transceiver isn’t approved for installation in certified aircraft.
