Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical installation take?
A typical skyBeacon installation will
take an installer around 1 hour – this is the time taken for the physical
installation of the skyBeacon to the aircraft and the paperwork needed to sign
off the installation. Please note that all aircraft are different, especially
older aircraft that have been modified for other STC’s. This can potentially
affect the installation time. This is why it is extremely important to discuss
the installation with a certified avionics shop or A&P or IA.
