Welcome

FreeFlight Systems, an international supplier of professional grade avionics system solutions for commercial and military aircraft, was the first company to certify an airborne WAAS receiver. Founded in 2001 through the acquisition of Trimble’s avionics products division, FreeFlight Systems specializes in the design, development, and production of GPS navigation management systems, GPS/WAAS sensors, and radar altimeters. Operating from our FAA certified design, manufacturing, and repair center in Waco, Texas, we serve our avionics customers with retrofit and OEM applications. <More>


FreeFlight Systems Mission

We design, manufacture and certify high-performance avionics.

Our products are designed to be flexible in their application: they are effective as stand-alone avionics or can be fully integrated to form complex aircraft avionics systems.

Our design approach allows us to implement solutions at the lowest possible cost.


ADS-B Out Final Rule published May 27, 2010

The FAA published the final ADS-B Out rule and associated advisory circular today. Links to these documents are here.

Over in the coming months FreeFlight Systems will be providing commentary, analysis and other resources on this critically important program.
