FX gives pilots easy, reliable traffic awareness. Just switch it on, connect, and instantly see who’s nearby. Simple, safe, effective and incredibly innovative.
PilotAware FX connects your device to top navigation apps like SkyDemon,EasyVFR, ForeFlight and more so you can navigate with traffic on maps you're familiar with.
Real-time Traffic Detection
Be aware of those around you. FX is designed with Multi-link technologies for greater range and integrity.
Point-to-Point. ADS-B Receive plus PilotAware Transmit and Receive allows FX to detect a large majority of GA aircraft directly from the aircraft with no ground stations or Cellular Required.
ATOM-Uplink. PilotAware ATOM can rebroadcast real-time locally received FLARM & FANET+ traffic received directly by the station, with incredibly low latency. Additional MLAT data is also uplinked to show Mode-S transponders using PilotAware Mode-S/3D.
SkyGRID- Rebroadcast. High flying PilotAware devices, will rebroadcast, low level traffic that may be obscured by terrain helping improve the traffic picture for airfields, pilots and ATC Flight Information Displays.
iGRID- Cellular. Connecting FX to a mobile hotspot, will enable secure access traffic data from the PilotAware servers. When flying in areas of cellular coverage, expect 60KM of additional, high quality realtime traffic to add to the links already mentioned. It will also show weather RADAR dimensioned for the PilotAware Virtual RADA Screen.
Serial Data Integration
Got a FLARM device in your aircraft? It’s great, but it might miss some traffic. FX (FLARM eXtender) supercharges your setup by integrated seamlessly with your existing FLARM and showing Farm equipped aircraft up to 60kms away, when connected to iGRID.
The RS232 feed is also compatible with a select number of transponders and glass cockpit displays to show all traffic detected. The RS232 signal can also be used as a GPS sourse to convert Mode-S Transponders with Extended Squitter (ES) to provide ADSB-out (DF17) at the full 80watts. The GPS has an integrity level of SIL=0.
An Intuitive New User Interface.
The FX user interface is fresh, streamlined, and straightforward. From setup to daily use, it’s designed to be clear and distraction-free. The new RADAR display includes gesture-controlled zoom and customisable settings. The redesigned settings page, with user-friendly guides, simplifies accessing FX’s full features. Updates are hassle-free, whether over-the-air via iGRID or with a simple drag-and-drop.
Additional Functionality
There's Weather on the Radar.
Updated every 10 Minutes and available on the PilotAware RADAR page when connected to iGRID.
A Router in the cockpit.
When FX is connected to your mobile hotspot, it will become a router. Allowing OTA updates for EFBs and clients without the need for a dedicated mobile connection.
Live METARs uplinked
Live METARs from airports are uplinked to FX through ATOM and/or iGRID. They are made available on the dedicated METARs webpage for pre and in-flight navigation.
Over-The-Air updates.
To make it easy to roll out new features and services to FX, we've introduced Over-The-Air updates. There is no longer the need for USB firmware downloads, SD card updates or apps. It can be all done automatically over iGRID.
