RUAG MRO International fulfilled the engineering requirements for the avionics upgrade, including necessary ADS-B Out kit modifications and approvals, from its customer support, engineering and production facilities at Oberpfaffenhofen, in July 2019. Specific OEM support featured configuration settings, final function tests, verification and supplemental military type certification as required by German Military Aviation Authority (LufABw).
