Cobham Beacon Solutions Receives FAA Approvals For Transfer of Artex Emergency Locator Transmitter Products to Florida Location
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida- Cobham Beacon Solutions today
announced they have received 24 Technical Standard Order
(TSO) authorizations from the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) for the Artex Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)
product line. The FAA has allowed transition of the previous
approval from Cobham Avionics in Prescott, AZ to ACR
Electronics in Fort Lauderdale FL under the new Part 21
Transfer Process as the
two Business Units are combined.
This TSO authorization means that Artex ELT Products are now
under the design control and Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) of the Fort Lauderdale office which also has a long
history of controlled quality, precision designing and
testing, and lean manufacturing of Emergency Position
Indicating Radio Beacons, Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs)
and
survival lighting products for the marine, outdoor, aviation
and military markets. Fort
Lauderdale will now be responsible for both design and the
production process of the 24
TSO approvals for the Artex ELT product line including the
ME-406, C-406, B-406, G-406 and SLB406 line of Emergency
Locator Transmitters as well as legacy battery packs, remote
switches and cable assemblies.
"These transfers are the result of a well-coordinated effort
between our business units and two regional offices of the
FAA," said Michael Wilkerson, General Manager. "With the
addition of Artex ELTs, Cobham Beacon Solutions has completed
the integration of three product families into one business
unit. Our customers and suppliers will benefit from this
concentration of engineering, production, quality, sales and
support capabilities."
Artex designs and manufactures a wide array of Emergency
Locator Transmitters (ELTs) for General, Business, Commercial
and Military Aviation applications as well as battery packs
and ELT accessories. The business of Artex is global and
customers range from the individual private pilot to the
world's largest airframe manufacturers, airlines and
governments. Fort Lauderdale will continue to support these
products and maintain
