NXG-900™ GPS

Why choose NXG 900 GPS

Boosts operational efficiency by delivering highly accurate WAAS/SBAS-enhanced position, velocity, and track data, supporting smarter flight planning and route optimization that helps reduce unnecessary deviations and delays. Its reliable, rule-compliant navigation input supports more direct routing and better airspace use, contributing to lower fuel burn, reduced operating costs, and smoother, more efficient flights.

The NXG 900 benefits from Acron Aviation’s 60+ years of proven reliability, reflecting decades of avionics innovation and mission-critical performance. Built on a legacy of trusted aerospace engineering, it delivers the confidence, durability, and long-term support operators expect from an industry leader.

Aviation Communication & Surveillance Systems (ACSS)

Developed through the ACSS joint venture with Thales, NXG 900 provides a high-integrity WAAS/SBAS position, velocity, and ground-track source critical for ADS-B Out compliance, addressing aircraft surveillance mandates rather than cockpit voice recorder (CVR) requirements.

Built on trusted NextGen technology, it feeds precise ADS-B data that improves air traffic visibility, enabling more direct routing, optimized flight paths, and measurable fuel savings compared with basic data recording systems.

By enhancing route efficiency, operators can reduce airborne delays and unnecessary vectors, lowering fuel burn and operating costs while meeting global airspace equipage standards.

Against competitors, the NXG 900 stands out for its straightforward pathway to ADS-B compliance, integration flexibility, and focus on operational efficiency rather than ancillary data recording functions, making it especially attractive for legacy aircraft upgrades and cost-conscious operators.

Regulatory compliance

Carries FAA TSO certifications TSO-C145c, TSO-C154c, and TSO-C157a and meets rule-compliant WAAS/SBAS position source requirements under RTCA DO-229D/DO-160G, with embedded DO-178B Level C software verification. It supports ADS-B In per DO-260B and aligns with global ADS-B equipage standards, giving technical evaluators confidence in its certified surveillance performance.

Fleet compatibility

Works with a broad range of certified aircraft via FAA-approved and AML-STCs, including legacy turbine and business jets when paired with NXT-600/700 transponders and compatible third-party units. STCs exist for models like Boeing 737/757/777 series and Part 25/Part 23 airframes (e.g., L 410, Pilatus PC-12) and many other turbine aircraft, providing installation eligibility when integrated per approved model lists.

NXG 900 solutions

NXG 900 comes in multiple configurations tailored to diverse operational needs, offering options for panel layouts, interface compatibility, and feature sets to support varied aircraft types and mission profiles.

Key capabilities

1. Certified NextGen/ADS‑B position source

Provides a rule‑compliant GPS position source meeting FAA/EASA ADS‑B position requirements (AC 20‑138D, AC 20‑165B) when paired with compatible transponders. It supplies precise position, velocity, time, and integrity data required for ADS‑B Out messages, enabling aircraft to meet mandated surveillance standards in controlled airspace. This certification focus makes the unit ideal for operators seeking regulatory compliance upgrades on legacy aircraft.

2. Advanced GNSS & augmentation performance

The system uses signals from the GPS constellation and SBAS/WAAS networks (e.g., WAAS, EGNOS, GAGAN, MSAS) to enhance accuracy, integrity, and availability of position data. This WAAS/SBAS support improves positional precision and reliability compared to basic GPS receivers, especially in environments where robust satellite augmentations enhance safety and minimize signal errors.

3. ADS‑B In / weather data capability

In addition to providing position for ADS‑B Out, the NXG‑900 includes a 978 MHz UAT ADS‑B In receiver, delivering subscription‑free FIS‑B weather data such as NEXRAD, METARs/TAFs, winds aloft, and SIGMETs via Wi‑Fi to compatible mobile apps. This enhances situational awareness, particularly on cross‑country flights and in changing weather conditions.

4. Integration & system interoperability

Designed for seamless connection with ACSS NXT‑600/700 and select third‑party transponders via ARINC‑743A output, the NXG‑900 integrates smoothly into existing avionics architectures. Its Wi‑Fi dongle interface supports mobile maintenance/diagnostics and weather streaming. These interfaces simplify avionics system upgrades and support interoperability with broader avionics suites.

5. Durability, certification & support

Built and certified to rigorous aviation environmental and software standards (DO‑160G, TSO‑C145c/C154c/C157a, DO‑178B Level C), the NXG‑900 offers robust performance across wide temperature and altitude ranges. A global support network - including parts, customer support, and technical documentation - backstops operators for installation and in‑service support.
