uAvionix skySensor TSO ADS-B in FAA TSO Certified

TRAFFIC

uAvionix skySensor receives dual-band ADS-B traffic information. 1090ES and 978(UAT) traffic broadcasts are displayed on supported EFB moving maps relative to your aircraft position and altitude.

Receives 978MHz (UAT) and 1090MHz (1090ES) frequencies
TIS-B Traffic reports of non-ADS-B equipped aircraft from FAA ground stations
ADS-R rebroadcasts of ADS-B traffic from FAA ground stations

WEATHER

uAvionix skySensor receives subscription-free in-flight weather (FIS-B) directly from FAA ground stations. FIS-B includes the following weather information:

NEXRAD radar
METARs
TAFs

AIRMETs
SIGMETs
Winds and temps aloft

PIREPs
NOTAMs
TFRs

WAAS GPS

uAvionix skySensor features a highly-accurate SBAS GPS. Four GNSS systems (WAAS GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDu) are supported, and skySensor can track three constellations concurrently for redundant location tracking. The GPS information is available to your EFB via Wi-Fi.

uAvionix skySensor is an ADS-B dual band receiver built into a wingtip, starboard position, and anti-collision light. This subscription-free device provides in-flight weather information on both 978 MHz and 1,090 MHz and delivers in real-time aircraft position and weather overlays to EFB supported applications using the GDL90 protocol, such as ForeFlight Mobile, FLTPlan Go, FlyQ, WingX, and many other applications.

uAvionix skySensor is designed to complete your uAvionix skyBeacon installation by providing an ADS-B receiver matching the right wingtip ADB-B out device. Together, these units provide a complete ADS-B compliant solution, including a dual-band ADB-S receiver, a static pressure sensor, and a GPS receiver. Traffic, weather, and position data are transmitted over Wi-Fi to GDL90-compatible EFBs using the AV-LINK (experimental) Wi-Fi module.
