Air Avionics AIR Traffic Display
See what you have been missing.
Every year, around 40 aircraft are involved in a mid–air collision. Half of these are fatal. Most of these accidents happen in good visibility and daylight. Our traffic avoidance systems help to find, identify, and avoid hazardous traffic. Our award–winning systems are providing increased situational awareness to flight crews in thousands of installations worldwide. They are affordable, easy to install, maintain, and use.
Easy to install, affordable traffic systems for any aircraft.
General Description
Air Avionics AIR Traffic Display Flying with a traffic system for the first time is an experience. You see what you have been missing. Our traffic systems help to make better decisions as they actively support a pilot‘s lookout. They provide better situational awareness, especially in situations with limited perception due to high workload or in complex traffic situations.
Safety–relevant instruments must be reliable, trustworthy, and of the utmost quality. Therefore, our traffic systems are produced within our certified production processes to very strict standards. This way we ensure they meet all requirements for reliable avionics systems.
Our traffic systems support pilots and effectively enhance traffic awareness. Intuitive warning features provide reliable data for making well founded split–second decisions in hazardous traffic situations.
Our Traffic systems integrate perfectly into your aircraft
AIR Traffic Displays are our newly designed premium display solutions for traffic data. They feature robust hardware, different sizes, and advanced functionality that helps reducing flight crew workload and increases traffic awareness.
AIR Traffic Displays, or ATD in short, come in three form factors and are based on all of our experience in designing traffic systems plus extensive university research. Their stunning color screens are perfectly readable in bright sunlight. Yet they draw very little power.
AIR Traffic Displays are compatible with all FLARM® systems and many other traffic systems. AIR Traffic Displays can directly replace old FLARM®–Displays. They are covered by Minor Change Approvals for FLARM®–Comaptible Systems as well as EASA Standard Changes (CS–STAN). They, therefore, can be installed into a broad range of aircraft without re–certification.
A stunning way to show traffic: AIR Traffic Displays
Many functions of the new AIR Traffic Displays have been developed as a result of current research projects at leading research facilities such as the Institute of Flight Systems and Automatic Control at the Technical University of Darmstadt.
We have added a range of new and unique functions to increase safety. A new radar symbology helps to differentiate different types of aircraft, e.g. helicopters from gliders or jets. A new alert view helps to avoid misinterpretations in conflicting traffic situations. Traffic is also monitored after a signal loss with tracking of its probable position.
Traffic Indication
Traffic is indicated in a “radar-style” screen. The range can be adjustet using a rotary knob from 500m to 32km radius. The own aircraft (magenta) and other received traffic are shown with aircraft symbols.
New Alert View
The new alert screen has been designed as a result of current research. It helps reducing potential for misconceptions, especially in situations with high bank angles of the own aircraft. The screen is easy to interpret, even for crews who are unfamiliar to flying with traffic warning systems.
Head–On Alert View
Conflicting head–on traffic is displayed using a unique “horizon–style” indication that allows for quick and easy situation conception. The new indication has been developed in cooperation with research facilities, with the help of expert interviews and the help of surveys of several hundreds of pilots. It can help to reduce reaction time in confliciting situations.
Target Selection
Targets on the radar–view can be selected using a rotary knob. Pilots can actively select a target to review detailed target information such as vertical separation or distance. The integrated database delivers in–detail infos on targets such as registration or aircraft type. Targets of special interest can be marked in different colors for easier recognition.
