Questions & Answers

The Garmin 796 is compatible with this device?

Unfortunately, it has to be a Garmin foreflight or Garmin software product to work with Garmin for software. Using FlyQ software and an iPad with this product is a breeze

Foreflight will be able to tell me weather and traffic with this system?

ForeFlight is not my preferred program. I use FlyQEFB.

Can you let me know if you have used this with Fltpln Go?

FlyQ is the navigation software I use for the 170 in aviation - the app tells you if your device is connected and how it is performing

Do you know if this works with the iPad running FLTPlango?

The answer is yes It was for that purpose that I used it.

Worked on the 777, but not on the 757
3/5

The purpose of this purchase was to replace my old, lousy elf, which is about four In the first place, I fly the 747f. Satellite connections will not be possible in any area of the flight deck with this unit. There is no signal at any window no matter where I place my phone. There should be no interference from the rearmost windows as they are not heated by electricity. Let's see if it works if it's placed any closer to the R1 or R2 door. Having found that the new elf that was working just fine, I have gone back to the old one. With WSI, the b function does not actually display anything when nexrad is selected, either regionally or nationally. You will only see meters in the area where you are departing from. There might be nothing wrong with it, but I am not sophisticated enough to know for sure. As a conclusion, this device may work great in a GA aircraft, but I have had no luck with it In the plane, I know I don't need GPS, but on the ground, a gps gives me a very good sense of where I am, especially in.

The Dual 170D is the ultimate ad-hoc tool for ADS-B It is used for data reporting
5/5

A lot of barren desert was covered between Phoenix, AZ, Nevada, and western Idaho, as well as North Cascades in western Washington. From here to there! There was a limitation in that ADS was not present The route is dominated by B towers and an incredibly small number of ADS-B stations The B Out equipped aircraft consists of Several routes exist. At 8,500' MSL, even with a lack of equipment or line of sight issues, weather updates were often limited due to the GPS, which was remarkably accurate and unwavering even at great heights. Definitely one of the best portable avionics on the market. In F-, it totally exceeded the data available from INS I flew in the '80s, '90s, and into the early 2000s while in the 16s I have no doubt!.

There is an ADSB in place. I can't think of anything else to It has been four years since I have been using their older model gps and I am very pleased with We are pleased to have upgraded our system. My Android tablet shows me all the ADSB traffic in all directions instantly after I started using Avare.

It does not give real-time information
3/5

It was possible for my iPad mini to see aircraft, but the moving map display slowed down for around three minutes. You can't use it to be aware of your surroundings. Response time from customer service was within a day, but no action was taken.

It's a great buy for the price and does a great job
4/5

RV owners use this product to keep their vehicles clean An ADS- compatible version of 7 An installed cylinder rests on top of the dash board in its rubber carrying Connected to a GRT Sport 10, it shows the speed and distance. An iPad can be connected to an EFIS via a USB hub and Bluetooth. On the EFIS we find information such as traffic, tail numbers, directions, and altitude above and below. The author must have given it at least two stars in order to receive a 5-star rating. It takes 1 amp to charge an EFIS, which does not have that much power, nor is it designed to do it. I brought the problem under control by installing a powered USB hub. The addition of separate charge ports and a USB out would have been beneficial.

I was not able to make it work reliably
3/5

With WSI or Foreflight, I couldn't really get it to work with either iPad. There was a lot of intermittent flooding. I was horrified at the time it was receiving the resolution. The item ended up being returned.

There's no doubt about it
5/5

The Avare and FltPlango applications are compatible with each other. This product does what it is supposed to do. Free data is offered by BT on its WiFi network.
