    Tracking and LADD

    Let’s say my plane is signed up on LADD. Is there an easy way for my family to still track me? FlightAware wants $1400/year for a subscription plan to see my own LADD-subscribed airplane. There’s got to be a better option. (Let’s not have this thread turn into everyone arguing whether or not...

    XGPS170D and Android

    I just purchased the XGPS170D, cannot seem to get it to work. I was planning on using it with a Kindle Fire HD 10 running Flt Plan Go, but when I connect through blue tooth, GPS stays connected for about 1 to 10 seconds. Figured I would give my Samsung Galaxy S7 a try to work out what is going...

    Happy ADS-B Day! It's Begun

    5 years of hoopla and we have finally arrived. Glad my little GTX-345 was installed before the rush when rebates were available and shops were discounting equipment with labor capacity. A promonate shop in my area is so booked out with major panel upgrades they no longer accept single ADS-B...

    Stratus 3 warning

    While the Stratus 3 claims to be compatible with multiple tablet applications other than Foreflight. An important issue Appareo does not make clear is; It can not communicate with other apps AND Foreflight at the same time. So if you are using FlyQ and your co-pilot, or even a passenger in the...

    Is AHRS worth an additional $260?

    So I was researching portable Dual GPS’ with ADS-B and it seems like the ONLY difference between the Dual XGPS170D and the Dual XGPS190 is that the 190 has AHRS. The 170D can be found for $419 and the 190 for $679. My question is; is the AHRS capability worth the extra $260? I should mention...

    Initial report of 53% reduction in accidents overall and 89% reduction in fatal accidents with use of ADS-B In. If this holds up, that is an impressive reduction. Much more significant that a lot of training programs combined...

    ADS-B Q&A video

    Seeing many questions on ADS-B here on PofA and on other forums, I thought I'd collect some of the frequently asked questions and create a little video with answers. Hopefully it'll be helpful to some: Regards, Martin

    Looking for a wx-500

    I'm doing a panel upgrade (low budget) to my Cessna 340. The wx-500 stormscope is inop. I have analyzed the error messages and it points to the processor (box). I contacted L3 and it is $650 to bench test it and then $1800 to repair it regardless of the problem. That seems a little steep to...

    Stratux Build - Parts List

    I got a PM asking for me to post my parts list for the Stratux box I built recently. I posted it in the comments of a different thread but thought it warranted its own post. The Stratux is crazy easy to assemble. If you can assemble an IKEA lamp and plug it in then you can do this. Here's a...

    ADS-B in (Stratux) ADS-B out Garmin XPDR

    So, question. A ship will only get TIS-B traffic if they have ADS-B out capability. But what if the in and out devices are separate? So, let's say I'm flying a club plane with the Garmin 345 XPDR with ADS-B out but I'm using a Stratux to drive my EFB. Will I get TIS-B traffic or do the...

    ADS-B out. Transponder and installation for $2,435. Why I pulled the trigger now instead of waiting.

    I have ADS-B in via a Gamin GDL 39 and Area 796. All I needed was ADS-B out to be legal. Appareo makes an all in one box (the Stratus ESG ADS-B Out and WAAS GPS) for only $2,995. Size-wise this is a replacement for most King and Narco transponders. I had a Narco AT-165 that was about 10...
