IBC is a FAA Part 135 certificated air carrier certified to transport hazardous materials. IBC Director of Maintenance Doug Helterbran said “Becker Avionics provided the best value ADS-B upgrade for IBC Airway’s fleet of SAAB 340s. The Becker’s BXT6500 ADS-B transponder was easy to integrate into the aircraft and required minimal modifications.”
