Combines Combine The Safety Benefits Of Active-Surveillance Traffic Detection And Alerting With The Increased Precision And Accuracy Of ADS-B In
The FAA has granted FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) C147 approval and a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the Avidyne SkyTrax 600 Series Active-Surveillance Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS) with ADS-B In.
With the addition of ADS-B In, the TAS600 Series is being rebranded as the SkyTrax600 series, extending Avidyne’s line of SkyTrax ADS-B products.
Avidyne’s SkyTrax600 Series includes the SkyTrax 600, the SkyTrax 605, the SkyTrax 615 and the SkyTrax 620. Each of these active-surveillance TAS/ADS-B systems correlates all the traffic information—derived from the active interrogation of nearby transponder-equipped aircraft, along with the direct reception of 1090MHz position reports from participating ADS-B aircraft, plus the data received from ground-based re-broadcast (ADS-R and TIS-B) targets—to present pilots with the most accurate depiction of potentially conflicting aircraft.
“SkyTrax600 systems seamlessly correlate and accurately present to the pilot all of the active and ADS-B traffic information received, providing even more precise level of situational awareness and safety,” said Avidyne CEO, Dan Schwinn. “TAS and ADS-B are important components in our product portfolio as we continue to grow our SkyTrax line.”
- The SkyTrax600 ($9,999) has a 7nm ADS-B range and is recommended for light general aviation aircraft.
- The SkyTrax605 ($11,099) has 21nm ADS-B range and is recommended for mid-performance aircraft and helicopters.
- The SkyTrax615 ($14,999) has 30nm ADS-B range and is recommended for high-performance aircraft and helicopters.
- The top-of the line SkyTrax620 has 40nm ADS-B range and is priced at $20,999. Pricing includes install kits and dual antennas.
New SkyTrax systems and SkyTrax upgrades for existing TAS600/9900BX TAS units are available now.
