Appareo Stratus ESG

Description

Stratus ESG was designed with non-glass panel aircraft in mind. Appareo’s simplified solution includes a 1090 ES transponder and certified WAAS GPS in the same box. It’s truly an all-in-one box solution for 2020 compliance.

2020 Compliance In One Box

Stratus ESG is a TSO-certified transponder that provides 2020 compliance in one box.  It’s a 1090MHz extended squitter (ES) transponder with a built-in WAAS GPS. Stratus ESG is a solid-state transmitter designed to replace legacy transponders that provide 250 watts of nominal power output.  Its modern keypad makes entering a squawk code easy.  The convenient VFR button minimizes pilot keystrokes.

Simple Installation

Stratus ESG is a form-factor replacement for existing transponders – such as BendixKing’s popular KT 76A/C – so installation is more time-efficient compared to remote boxes that need to be integrated with your old transponder.  A TSO’d WAAS GPS antenna is included in the kit, and Stratus ESG can reuse an existing transponder antenna.  It also Accepts both serial and parallel (e.g. Gray Code) inputs, so you can reuse most altitude encoders.
