MEMORANDUM FOR MICC S2P2 OFFICE

FROM: 62 OG/OGV

SUBJECT: Brand Name Letter for 62 Operations Group Stratus 2S ADS-B Receivers

1. This request is for the acquisition of 25 Stratus 2S ADS-B receivers. These receivers work in unison with the ForeFlight Mobile application installed on all 62 OG-assigned pilots’ Electronic Flight Bags.

Additionally, no other ADS-B receiver will work with the Fore Flight application, and therefore, imperative that this specific make and model be approved.

2. The ForeFlight Mobile application and Stratus 2S ADS-B receiver contain proprietary software that only allows full functionality when the two are paired together. These statements are derived directly from the ForeFlight application requirements.

3. For the reasons listed above, the 62 Operations Group requests that a brand name purchase of Stratus 2S ADS-B receivers be approved.

4. If there are any questions, please contact Maj. Brad Willis at 253-982-5551.
