ADS-B Out for A340 series aircraft
Overview
Introduction
ADS-B Out signal is used for surveillance purposes on the ground or onboard other aircraft in order to facilitate airborne traffic.
ADS-B, standing for “Automatic Dependant Surveillance – Broadcast”, is the replacement and augmentation of radar-based aircraft surveillance systems. With ADS-B, the surveillance of aircraft does no longer rely on radar ground stations, but on airborne GPS receivers. Aircraft equipped with ADS-B broadcast their precise position and velocity data, as well as altitude and supportive information automatically, without pilot input, to ATC on ground (ADS-B Out) or to other aircraft (ADS-B In).
Your needs
The main topics of this modification are:
• Upgrade of the transponders to DO-260B
• Upgrade of the GPS position source
• Addition of an ADS-B fail indication in the flight deck.
Your benefits
PMV Engineering certifies both stand-alone annunciator as the ATC/TCAS control panel upgrade for ADS-B Fail indication and helps you to become compliant with the Implementing Rule.
The PMV Engineering retrofit solution for A340 deals with different ATC Mode S transponder models (TRA-100B from Honeywell, TPR-901 from Rockwell Collins, and XS-950 from ACSS) within the scope of approval of the same STC. This allows to implement the ADS-B Out function on any A340 aircraft effectivity with new transponders but coming from the same manufacturer than the replaced units. PMV Engineering’s STC also includes the replacement of the ATC/TCAS control panel for ADSB FAIL indication in cockpit. In all cases, the post-mod ATC configuration fully meets the minimum standard for ADS-B (i.e. RTCA DO-260B/EUROCAE ED-102A).

Today, the STC EASA No. 10074450 is applicable to A340 (all models) but the approved design is fully transferable on A330 series aircraft for a new STC.
