27 September 2019: uAvionix Corporation has signed a distribution agreement with LX Avionics for distribution of SkyEcho - the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) CAP1391 approved Electronic Conspicuity (EC) device. As a stocking distributor, LX Avionics will be the primary purchase and support channel for the SkyEcho product line in the UK and Europe.
SkyEcho is the world's first portable ADS-B IN and OUT solution for UK Visual Flight Rules (VFR) aircraft. SkyEcho can be configured as an ADS-B OUT solution in the UK, or as an ADS-B IN and FLARM receiver only for use elsewhere in the European Union (EU). ADS-B IN functionality works with any GDL-90 compatible Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), and FLARM functionality is compatible with ForeFlight Europe, SkyDemon, EasyVFR4, and Airmate EFBs.
"Our new relationship with LX Avionics is customer-focused. Until now, UK and EU customers have had to be patient in dealing with our US-based distribution and support team," said President, Christian Ramsey. "LX Avionics is already a trusted entity in the UK, and as a stocking distributor, overseas shipping costs and delayed communications will be a thing of the past."
