L3 Lynx NGT 9000 Solution
General aviation’s newest and most advanced NAV/COM radio is pilot-friendly by design. That’s because we consulted pilots at every phase of a development process that started with a blank CAD screen and ended with the creation of a groundbreaking new radio for the 2020s and beyond.
INSTALLATION REQUEST
Imagine purchasing a Mode S transponder, traffic system, MFD, GPS/WAAS and datalink weather system for your cockpit. The cost might exceed the value of your aircraft. Enter the Lynx® MultiLink Surveillance Systems (MSS).
It’s a simple replacement for your old transponder that’s packed full of ADS-B benefits. Using an intuitive layout and touchscreen interface, the Lynx NGT-9000 is a single box solution that balances today’s needs with tomorrow’s flight environment.
You get ADS-B traffic, a Mode S Extended Squitter transponder with a compliant GPS/WAAS position source, NEXRAD graphical and textual weather as well as moving maps.
Up to the minute NOTAMs, TFRs and Winds and Temps Aloft data are also included. The Lynx NGT-9000 is a Dual Mode 1090ES ADS-B Out plus 1090 and 978 ADS-B In device that is designed for 14 V or 28 V installations.
L-3 NextGen Active Traffic® is an available option that is integrated directly in the Lynx NGT-9000, eliminating the need for a remote box. Several models are available, providing a Lynx solution to fit almost any cockpit and budget.

What is Lynx?
A transponder with a color touchscreen is a great idea. But a single-unit Mode S Extended Squitter transponder with traffic, WAAS/GPS, datalink weather, and a color touchscreen display is a brilliant idea.
This is the Lynx NGT-9000. It’s a simple, certified, one-box replacement for your old transponder that delivers ADS-B compliance and a whole lot more, all for less than you might expect. You’ll get more capability for less than you’ll pay mixing and matching multiple systems.
Touching Allowed
Lynx touchscreen display technology operates similar to a Personal Electronic Device (PED).
The screen’s touch and swipe sensitivity has been human engineered to work in the most demanding flight environments where turbulence or moisture may be a concern.
Weather
The Lynx NGT-9000 includes subscription-free weather data such as METARs, AIRMETs, SIGMETs and NEXRAD information overlaid on a moving map.
A second map page shows Winds and Temps Aloft data. All this and the reliable addition of the Stormscope WX-500 Interface which offers the ability to map lightning data, which correlates to wind shear, turbulence and hail.
This arrangement allows for the pilot to quickly page through graphical weather screens, viewing large amounts of data without overloading a single page.
Traffic
The Lynx NGT-9000 offers the flexibility to display ADS-B traffic on the unit itself, as well as other panel mounted avionics and ipad and Android apps.
L3’s NextGen Active Traffic is an option that can be embedded into the NGT-9000 display unit to provide an uninterrupted display of all traffic in the vicinity. Equip with both ADS-B and Active Traffic for the complete traffic picture.
Embedded WAAS/GPS
All Lynx MSS models incorporate a rule compliant position source (WAAS/GPS) requiring no external GPS connections.
ADS-B In/Out
The Lynx NGT-9000 series provide 1090ES (Mode S Extended Squitter) ADS-B Out as well as 1090 MHz and 978 MHz (UAT) ADS-B In. This provides ADS-B traffic (ADS-B, ADS-R and TIS-B) and FIS-B input.
Airport Databases, NOTAMs, TFRs
With the Lynx family of ADS-B products, you will receive up to the minute broadcast information regarding airports, Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs) and Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) in graphical and textual form.
Similar to the weather map, touching an airport or zone icon on the graphical side of NGT-9000 map brings up its corresponding textual data.
