Power in Numbers
When flying in crowded airspace, situational awareness is key. With our ADSB equipped aircraft, you are now enabled with an extra set of eyes via onboard WIFI link to ForeFlight on your iPad. Seamlessly connect your iPad to the ADSB equipped aircraft, to then receive current and live traffic information in flight. Many students and renters for years used external ADSB sources such Stratus or Sentry, now its built-in for added situational awareness while flying, including inflight weather reporting, current airport METARS on an iPad or compatible tablet. Since the addition of ADSB, it has helped the pilot in command with concentrating on flying the aircraft, quickly identifying an altitude and direction of other aircraft in the area, providing vital traffic data at a glance, in turn, your work load is reduced, and you can fly with ease.
