My point was Duncan announced having the stc 3 years ago. Now they claim they should be able to start installing systems in q4 2026.
Dynon tried to let outside firms get the autopilot certified (Seneca). They ended up having to bring that in house.
I have heard a gentleman from the stc group...
Go try and find the stc number. Theres something fishy about it. Duncan doesnt list it. Bendix doesnt list it. The FAA system doesnt show it (but thats not saying much). Apparently the drawings Duncan had of Mooney airframes and what was in the wild didnt match up. So things had to be revised...

The Nav Canada website has a link to CARs 551.103 on this page under equipage requirements:
NAV CANADA ADS-B Performance Requirements
If you read through that section, you'll see a bunch of changes / notes that were added in July, including the below snip.
Based on that, my understanding is...
Canada has backed away from the diversity requirement. I believe if you go into airspace and get the the equivalent of a papr done, as long as it performs well enough you no longer need additional antenna's or diversity.
It sounds like he downloaded the charts in the airmate data manager to his pc. Once that is downloaded to PC you put your flash drive in and hit program usb stick on the data manager to get that info to to the usb. Its at that stage data starts downloading and then stops.
I dont believe he ever...
