Texas-based MRO Greenpoint Aerospace is touting its ADS-B upgrade capabilities at NBAA 2017. By January 1, 2020, aircraft operating in much of U.S. airspace will be required to have ADS-B Out capability as part of the FAA’s NextGen air traffic modernization program.
“We recommend out customers complete this installation soon, as their aircraft need to be equipped with the ADS-B system in the next 27 months,” said Steve Hall, the company’s director of maintenance. “Installation at Greenpoint Aerospace is affordable, quick and will increase overall safety and efficiency for aircraft operators.”
Meanwhile, sister company Greenpoint Technologies is highlighting its completion capabilities on head-of-state Boeing 787s. The company debuted its first 787-8 completion at EBACE 2016 and anticipates redelivering a second 787-8 early next year. Two additional 787-8s are scheduled for induction later in 2018 and a 787-9 will be inducted in 2019.
Both Greenpoint companies are exhibiting their capabilities and services at Zodiac Aerospace (Booth N908), their corporate parent.
