Setting a New Standard for GPS Data, More than just position…

The GRT Safe-Fly is a 2020 ADS-B compliant GPS, allowing it to be used as the navigation source for your compatible ADS-B output. This is in full compliance with FAR 91.227, and allows your ADS-B output to trigger the return of traffic data. This demanding standard requires a GPS that is reliable to better than one undetected failure per million hours, making it a natural as your navigation source for your GRT EFIS.

Other benefits include triple isolated power inputs, making it easy to power it with primary, back up, and even a third power source. We designed the module to tolerate very high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI), large power fluctuations, and vibration. No standby power is required. Even the case is machined from solid aluminum, protecting the Safe-Fly from further EMI and physical damage.

2025-03-17 Important Update for EFIS+Safe-Fly+echoUAT customers: The FAA wants customers using the TMAP GPS interface to update the Safe-Fly GPS software to version 4 to fix a position offset.  If you have the serial control interface wired to an EFIS then you may be affected and you can install the update through the EFIS.  See below for how to check the version and install the update.  If you don’t have the serial control interface wired to an EFIS then you are not affected.

2024-05 Notice for Safe-Fly+echoUAT customers: uAvionix will be requiring an echoALT for all echoUAT installations to guarantee altitude reporting performance in all conditions. This more urgently affects installations without hard-wired altitude encoder data but the echoALT covers all failure modes and performance issues with any altitude source. The echoALT is a separate module that installs between the existing echoUAT power/serial cable and the echoUAT. GRT has tested the Safe-Fly + echoUAT + echoALT with EFIS+TMAP wiring/configuration and non-TMAP/no-EFIS-control wiring/configuration and both are working starting with echoUAT Protocol software 0.4.6. The echoUAT software must not be updated until after the echoALT is installed as the echoALT will become the only accepted altitude input. See the echoUAT support page at uAvionix for the latest Service Bulletin and more information.
