FltPlan Go For iPad Works With A Variety Of ADS-B Receivers

Android App Planned For The Near Future

FltPlan's free FltPlan Go iPad app now works with five ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) receivers: Sagetech Clarity, Dual XGPS170, Flight Data System's Pathfinder, iLevil AW, and the Sky Radar DX. The company plans to add the same ADS-B flexibility to their FltPlan Go Android app in the near future.

"Why get locked into one ADS-B receiver?" said Sarah Wilson, director of new technologies for FltPlan. "Because it is compatible with multiple receivers, our FltPlan Go iPad app offers savings, choice and flexibility to pilots who are currently using or considering purchase of an ADS-B receiver.

"Some apps may lock you into using one brand of ADS-B receiver, our app gives pilots the ability to choose an ADS-B receiver that suits their needs and price range."

Wilson said that while competitors in the flight planning app arena promote "subscription-free" ADS-B, they require purchase of their app."It isn't free in-flight weather when you have to pay for a subscription to an app in order to view the data," she said.

With ADS-B, aircraft receive weather data and traffic that is transmitted from stations throughout the United States. The information is transmitted free of charge but requires an ADS-B receiver. Using an ADS-B receiver in conjunction with the FltPlan Go app provides access to weather reports including TAFs, NOTAMs, TFRs, and PIREPS. ADS-B data maximizes situational awareness which, according to Wilson, results in safer flying.
