VIAVI Solutions has introduced the ALT-9000 Universal Radio Altimeter (RADALT) flight-line test device. The device is a portable test device that uses optical fiber delay to enable it to work with all types of radio altimeters. The entire RADALT system can be tested, allowing operators to isolate problems to antennas, coaxial cables, LRU, or indicators, eliminating unnecessary replacement or replacement of system components. The complete, efficient, and user-friendly test process allows for more frequent flight system testing and reduces the cost of takeoff failures.
