The TSO-Certified Upgrade Your Cockpit Has Been Waiting For

Introducing the Icom IC-A220T—the TSO-approved version of the legendary A220 panel mount transceiver. For years, experimental and LSA pilots have trusted the A220 for its performance and reliability. Now, owners of certified Part 23 aircraft can experience the same cutting-edge technology. The A220T combines a stunningly bright OLED display, intuitive operation, and future-proof 8.33 kHz compliance into a slim, easy-to-install unit, making it the premier choice for your next avionics upgrade.

Unrivaled Clarity with a Revolutionary OLED Display

Leave legacy LCD screens in the past. The A220T features a brilliant white OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display that is fundamentally superior. Because each pixel generates its own light, the display delivers unparalleled contrast, razor-sharp text, and an almost 180-degree viewing angle. It’s exceptionally bright and clear, remaining perfectly readable in the most intense direct sunlight. White backlighting on the large, tactile keys matches the display, ensuring perfect visibility for seamless night VFR operations.

Designed for the Pilot: Reducing Workload & Enhancing Safety

Every feature of the A220T is engineered to make your life in the cockpit easier. The large, well-spaced buttons and oversized "FLIP-FLOP" frequency switch are easy to operate, even in turbulence. The intelligent auto squelch function automatically adjusts to the noise level, silencing static without cutting out weak, important transmissions. An auto-dimmer with a high-sensitivity sensor keeps the display at the perfect brightness, or you can link it directly to your aircraft’s dimming bus for unified control.

Integrated 2-Place Intercom Saves Panel Space & Cost

The IC-A220T features a built-in, voice-activated intercom, allowing for clear communication between the pilot and co-pilot. With adjustable audio and squelch levels, this integrated function eliminates the need for a separate intercom unit, saving valuable panel real estate, reducing installation complexity, and lowering overall upgrade costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the Icom A220T

1. What is the main difference between the original A220 and this new A220T model?

The primary difference is the TSO (Technical Standard Order) certification. The 'T' in A220T signifies that this version is TSO-approved under TSO-C169a and TSO-C128a. This makes it fully legal for use as a primary COM radio in certified general aviation (Part 23) aircraft, such as those from Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, and Mooney.

2. Is this radio compliant with 8.33 kHz channel spacing mandates?

Yes. The Icom A220T is fully compliant and easily switchable between 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz channel spacing, ensuring you meet current and future airspace requirements both in the U.S. and abroad.

3. How readable is the screen in a bright, sunny cockpit?

The OLED display is one of its best features. Unlike traditional LCDs that can wash out, the OLED screen is exceptionally bright and maintains high contrast in direct sunlight, making frequencies and information easy to read at a glance.

4. Does this radio require a separate, dedicated intercom system?

No. The A220T includes a built-in, voice-activated 2-place intercom with adjustable audio and squelch. This saves you the cost and panel space of installing a separate unit.

5. What aircraft electrical systems is the A220T compatible with?

It is designed for maximum flexibility and works with both 13.8V DC and 27.5V DC electrical systems without the need for any external voltage converters.

6. How difficult is the installation process?

The A220T is designed for straightforward installation. Its slim 1.3-inch (33mm) height allows it to fit in tight panels. It uses a standard D-SUB 25-pin connector, making it an ideal slide-in replacement for many older radios or a simple choice for new installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Icom A220 and the A220T?

The key difference is certification. The 'T' marks the TSO-approved version, certified under TSO-C128a and TSO-C169a. This makes the A220T legal for use as a primary COM radio in certified Part 23 aircraft such as Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, and Mooney, while the standard A220 is intended for experimental and LSA aircraft.

Is the Icom A220T compliant with 8.33 kHz channel spacing mandates?

Yes. The A220T is fully compliant and switches easily between 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz channel spacing, so it meets current and future airspace requirements in the United States and abroad. Frequency coverage is 118.000 to 136.992 MHz, helping keep your aircraft future-proof for global compliance.

How readable is the OLED display in direct sunlight?

Very readable. Unlike traditional LCD screens that wash out, the white OLED display generates light from each pixel, delivering high contrast, razor-sharp text, and an almost 180-degree viewing angle. It stays exceptionally bright and clear even in intense direct sunlight, so frequencies are easy to read at a glance.

Does the A220T require a separate dedicated intercom?

No. The A220T includes a built-in, voice-activated 2-place intercom with adjustable audio and squelch levels for clear pilot and co-pilot communication. This integrated function eliminates the need for a separate intercom unit, saving panel space, reducing installation complexity, and lowering overall upgrade cost.

What electrical systems and voltages does the A220T support?

The A220T works with both 13.8V DC and 27.5V DC negative-ground electrical systems, covering common 12-volt and 24-volt aircraft, with no external voltage converter required. This flexibility lets it fit a wide range of certified Part 23 airframes during an avionics upgrade.

How much transmit power does the A220T have?

The A220T delivers 8 watts of carrier transmit power across its 118.000 to 136.992 MHz frequency coverage. Combined with intelligent auto squelch that silences static without cutting out weak but important transmissions, it is built to provide clear, reliable air band communication for both pilot and co-pilot.

Is the A220T easy to install, and will it fit a tight panel?

It is designed for straightforward installation. Its slim 1.34-inch (34mm) height fits tight panels, and it uses a standard D-SUB 25-pin connector, making it a practical slide-in choice for many older radios or new builds. Because it is TSO-certified, plan to have an avionics shop or A&P complete and document the installation.

Will the A220T fit in an older radio tray, such as an IC-A200 slot?

The A220T shares the slim panel dimensions of 6.3 by 1.34 by 10.67 inches and uses a standard D-SUB 25-pin connector, which makes it an easy slide-in replacement for many older units. For an exact fit against a specific existing tray or bracket, confirm dimensions and wiring with your avionics installer before ordering.

Does the A220T come with a mounting tray and what is in the box?

Yes. Each A220T ships with the IC-A220T transceiver, a mounting bracket kit, and an installation manual. Because the unit has a built-in 2-place intercom, you do not need to budget extra panel space or cost for a separate intercom unit during your avionics upgrade.

Does the A220T have a manual squelch in addition to auto squelch?

Yes. The A220T offers intelligent auto squelch that adapts to the noise level automatically, plus manual squelch control. Auto squelch silences background static without cutting out weak but important transmissions, while manual control lets you fine-tune the threshold for your own flying conditions and environment.

How do I reach the 121.5 MHz emergency frequency and how many memory channels are there?

The A220T provides one-touch access to the 121.5 MHz emergency frequency. For everyday use it stores 20 regular memory channels, 50 group channels, 20 history channels, and 10 weather channels, with a large flip-flop button for quick active and standby frequency recall.

What are the dimensions and weight of the A220T?

The A220T measures 6.3 inches wide by 1.34 inches high by 10.67 inches deep (160 by 34 by 271 mm) and weighs about 2.65 pounds (1.2 kg). The slim 1.34-inch height is designed for easy installation in tight instrument panels where space is limited.

Where can I buy the Icom A220T and what does it cost?

The TSO-certified Icom A220T ships free within the United States on orders over $100. Click for Price on the product page for current pricing. It is sold by an authorized aviation retailer, so you receive a new, factory-fresh unit for your certified avionics upgrade.
