Enables the Display Of FreeFlight RANGR ADS-B In Data
FreeFlight's certified ADS-B RANGR systems are now fully compatible with the ForeFlight Mobile app version 7.1 that was released last week. With the software update, users can now view ADS-B In weather and traffic data from FreeFlight Systems' RANGR series of ADS-B receivers via the ForeFlight Mobile app. Compatible solutions include the RANGR Blue Box Receiver and Transceiver, and the RANGR Lite Transceiver, which will begin shipping this month.
ADS-B In provides increased situational awareness, subscription-free graphical and textual weather, and traffic information. Only when it is paired with a certified and installed ADS-B Out system does the ADS-B In data become complete.
Both FreeFlight and ForeFlight hold themselves to the highest quality standards, and are committed to delivering the best customer experience possible. For the first time, a certified, installed, and rule-compliant system is able to supply weather and traffic information for display on the leading aviation app. Pairing ForeFlight with a certified and installed ADS-B system ensures complete situational awareness information. This collaboration enables customers to immediately enjoy the benefits of ADS-B In weather and traffic. Both FreeFlight and ForeFlight offer full technical and customer support to ensure a seamless integration.
"With the ForeFlight 7.1 software update, we are now able to fully deliver the integration our customers have been asking for," said Tim Taylor, President and CEO of FreeFlight Systems. "Both companies worked intensely and collaboratively to ensure this was done the right way, and we are very pleased to have our name associated with ForeFlight."
Current ForeFlight users simply need to update to version 7.1 or later in the Apple App Store to gain the capability to integrate with FreeFlight RANGR ADS-B transceivers and receivers.
