L-3 NGT9000 ADS-B: Expanded Capabilities

When L-3 introduced the Lynx NGT9000 multifunction ADS-B transponder in 2015, we nearly dismissed it for all but the highest-end applications. With a starting price that put it we'll north of ten grand, the NGT9000 seemed like a questionable investment for buyers looking for an affordable path to ADS-B compliance.

When L-3 introduced the Lynx NGT9000 multifunction ADS-B transponder in 2015, we nearly dismissed it for all but the highest-end applications. With a starting price that put it we’ll north of ten grand, the NGT9000 seemed like a questionable investment for buyers looking for an affordable path to ADS-B compliance.

The NGT9000 still isn’t budget priced, but thanks to a growing and competitive market, L-3 dropped the price, making it a serious player in an ADS-B market dominated by Garmin’s new transponders.
