AVweb‘s review of aviation news around the world found announcements from ACSS, Leonardo-Finmeccanica, Mecaer Aviation Group and Scotland’s Glasgow Prestwick Airport. ACSS, an L-3 and Thales Company, has developed an ADS-B transponder solution for legacy corporate aircraft, the NXT-700. This next-generation Mode S transponder will satisfy the DO-260B mandate for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) on many legacy aircraft models. Leonardo-Finmeccanica, through its aircraft division, and Canada-based Esterline CMC Electronics (CMC) have strengthened their relationship as part of Team Spartan through an agreement for the supply of high-performance avionics systems for the C-27J Spartan fleet.

Mecaer Aviation Group Inc. (MAG) announced it has signed with a United States-based customer to take delivery of a Bell 429 MAGnificent interior. The signing is the first for a North American operator under Federal Aviation Administration flight rules. The announcement follows a recent validation with the FAA. Andrew Miller, Glasgow Prestwick Airport Chairman, announced the appointment of Ron Smith as the airport’s permanent Chief Executive Officer. Ron will take up this post from Monday May 30. Ron joins the airport following a period as General Operations Manager for CHC Helicopters Aberdeen.
