The uAvionix tailBeacon combines ADS-B Out, WAAS GPS, and an LED rear position light into one compact unit that replaces your aircraft's existing tail light. Designed to work with an operational Mode C or Mode S transponder, tailBeacon provides an efficient path to ADS-B Out compliance without replacing your existing transponder or installing a separate GPS receiver.

Installation uses the existing rear position light location and electrical wiring, minimizing the modifications needed for an ADS-B Out upgrade. The integrated uAvionix Power Transcoder communicates with the aircraft's transponder through the electrical system, while the built-in WAAS GPS provides the required position information.

uAvionix tailBeacon ADS-B Out Features:

  • Integrated ADS-B Out: 978 MHz UAT transmitter designed to meet FAA ADS-B Out requirements when paired with a compatible operational transponder and properly installed.
  • Works with existing transponders: uAvionix Power Transcoder technology allows tailBeacon to communicate with existing Mode C or Mode S transponders through the aircraft's electrical system.
  • Self-contained WAAS GPS: Integrated uAvionix truFYX WAAS GPS provides position data without requiring a separate GPS receiver or additional GPS installation.
  • LED rear position light: Replaces the existing tail light with brighter, lower-power LED lighting rated for 20,000 hours of operation.
  • Simplified installation: Uses a mounting bracket and existing power wiring. The tailBeacon slides into position and turns to lock into the mounting bracket.
  • Mobile app configuration: The uAvionix app for iOS and Android guides the installer through configuration, including ICAO address, emitter category, aircraft dimensions, and GPS offsets.
  • Anonymous Mode: When enabled during eligible VFR operations while squawking 1200, tailBeacon transmits a temporary randomized address instead of the aircraft's assigned ICAO identification.
  • Certified and experimental options: Available in versions for experimental aircraft and a TSO-certified solution for eligible certified aircraft.

tailBeacon TSO Certifications:

  • UAT Transmitter: TSO-C154c Class B1S
  • WAAS GPS: TSO-C145e Class Beta I
  • Altitude Encoder: TSO-C88b
  • Rear Position Light: TSO-C30c Type III

Operating Limitations:
tailBeacon transmits on the 978 MHz UAT frequency, intended for use in the United States below FL180 (18,000 feet). Aircraft operating at or above FL180 or internationally require a 1090ES ADS-B Out solution. Aircraft eligibility and installation approval should be confirmed before purchase.

Works flawlessly on my '46 Ercoupe

  • By Bill Swartwout from Fenwick Island, DE on Sunday, January 19, 2025
  • Pros: It works perfectly, as designed, and is easy to update/maintain.
  • Review: I bought my Ercoupe early last summer; the uAvionix tailBeacon unit had been installed by the previous owner. It has worked perfectly on this vintage (1946) aircraft. I often look at my flights on AdsbExchange after I get home, and the flight track is surprisingly perfect. It is almost amazing how well this tiny device works. Evidently there was a software update a while back - my A&P was able to update the device from his iPhone during my latest Annual. It is small, unobtrusive and easy to maintain. What's not to like?

  • By A Customer on Monday, February 17, 2020
  • Pros: Easy install.
  • Review: I am an A&P IA i did this installation for a close friend on his Lance. The instructions are very thorough and the installation is easy. At the end though we downloaded the app to configure the unit and it did not work the app would freeze on the first page. So we downloaded the app on my phone an android and it worked normal. Not sure why it did not work on my friends apple device.
