Overview

Note: Unit can only be sold for experimental aircraft.

Stratus ES is a 1090 MHz extended squitter (ES) transponder. Designed with the common 1.65″ tall form factor, it’s an easy replacement for your existing transponder. Stratus ES is a solid state transmitter that provides 310 watts nominal power output. Its modern keypad makes entering a squawk code easy. The convenient VFR button minimizes pilot keystrokes.

The Stratus ES was built without GPS in order to provide affordable ADS-B Out to aircraft owners who have already invested in WAAS GPS. Stratus ES will make an aircraft rule-compliant when paired with any of the following navigators for 2020 compliance:
  • Garmin 430W, 530W, 650, 750
  • Avidyne IFD440, IFD540

Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: Building an airplane from scratch. Do I need to purchase anything other than this Appareo Stratus ES transponder to have both a transponder and ADSB out?

Yes, you would still need a WAAS/GPS source. We would recommend you look at the part number:11-14466. This transponder kit would satisfy the requirements for ADS-B Out.

Q: Can this unit be paired with Garmin 480 for GPS?

Per Manufacturer - This unit can be paired with Garmin GPS GNS 480.
