This unit has been bench tested by an FAA certified repair station and it comes with an 8130 single release dated 7/21/2026.

• Multi-Directional Strike Sensing: Houses an internal solid-state receiver loop and sense antenna matrix. This configuration monitors 360 degrees of ambient atmospheric airspace to accurately identify the bearing and relative intensity of convective lightning strikes.
• Aerodynamic Low-Profile Geometry: Encased in a contoured, low-drag composite white radome weighing approximately 1.8 lbs. It is designed for installation on the upper or lower fuselage skin with minimal drag penalty at high cruise speeds.
• Wide Airframe Compatibility: Factory approved and listed under Textron Aviation catalogs for integration onto high-altitude corporate airframes. Compatible aircraft include the Cessna Citation series (M2, CJ1 through CJ4, Excel, XLS), Beechcraft Premier, and Pilatus PC-12 fleets. 
• Rigid Base Mounting Interface: Engineered with a standardized bolt-hole layout featuring a flat grounding base and an integrated multi-pin electrical harness interface. This design secures the antenna against heavy high-altitude vibration and prevents moisture entry into the airframe shell. 
• System Cross-Compatibility: Operates interchangeably as a primary sensor across legacy 3M, BFGoodrich, and L3 WX-1000 display configurations. This compatibility provides flexibility for fleet operators replacing damaged external components without modifying internal processors.
