STC Installations
tailBeacon employs an initial STC for a single aircraft type (Cessna 172) with follow on installations to be conducted using the ADS-B Policy Memo. That FAA memo, titled ?Installation Approval for ADS-B OUT Systems,? explains that after an initial STC is achieved for ADS-B OUT equipment, additional installations can be accomplished on aircraft not listed on the AML by an A&P with Inspection Authorization (IA) so long as the installation does not require airframe modification. This blanket approval requires only completion of a two-page FAA form known as a 337, with no authorizing signature. This is the same form and paperwork required if installed under the AML STL. Countless skyBeacon customers have installed their equipment using this memo, and it is a great example of the FAA being progressive to limit certification delays and installations costs.

For ease of installation and paperwork, we have provided a sample 337 form for tailBeacon. Once the form is completed your installer will mail it to the FAA office in Oklahoma City, while keeping a copy on file with the aircraft maintenance logs. This process is typical for many ADS-B installations and your installer is likely familiar with the process. If your installer has questions please ask them to contact us.

If only all avionics companies would act like Uavionx did for those that missed the FAA Rebates. You have to like a company like this.

FAA Rebates
We know that some of you have reserved the FAA $500 ADS-B rebates with the intention of installing tailBeacon. We also know that due to the timing delay, your rebates are expiring or have already done so. We are truly sorry for this unfortunate scenario. If you have found yourself in this situation, please contact our customer service team with both proof of order of tailBeacon and proof of the FAA rebate expiration for a limited time manufacturer’s rebate via email: rebates@uavionix.com.
 
Amazing how many businesses in aviation skipped that introductory course.
 
I had one preordered for a year...almost on the nose...but finally gave up, cancelled, and bought one of Jim's offerings.

A lot more bang for the buck IMO.

I agree, but it is slightly more bucks, and considerably more if you have to pay to have the ESG installed. Gotta commend uAvionix for being so supportive of their customers who may have missed out on the FAA rebate, though. I'd certainly do business with them in the future.
