navAero, creator of
situational awareness solutions for private pilots, presents its
premiere product, the Tactical Pilot Awareness Display (tPad™
800). Named for placing an emphasis on situational awareness and
featuring a screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (portrait mode),
the tPad 800 claims to be the most affordable display on the
market today for viewing advanced aeronautical software.
What It Is
The tPad 800 is an 8.4" diagonal color touch screen attached to
a sleek, curved aluminum base that fits comfortably around the
pilot's leg. The screen, which is sunlight readable, is connected
to an interface box that links to a laptop computer, allowing
pilots to experience the advantages of electronic flight-bag
technology at a fraction of the expected cost. Both the interface
box and the laptop can be stored discreetly behind the seat. The
tPad 800 is powered by a plug-in 12VDC connection to the cigarette
lighter available on most small planes.
With the tPad 800, pilots can use all of the most advanced
Windows-based aviation software such as:
- FliteMap® for total
navigational superiority
- JeppView® with FlightDeck® for the industry standard in
IFR
