AvTraffic™ air traffic conflict monitoring and alerting app for iPhone and iPad.

"AvTraffic™ air traffic conflict monitoring and alerting app for iPhone and iPad.

In today’s increasingly busy airspace, AvTraffic is a powerful, practical safety tool for pilots. Designed to operate either as a standalone app or alongside your preferred EFB—such as OzRunways™—AvTraffic enhances traffic awareness by monitoring and alerting using multiple data sources, including:

• ADS-B traffic from your ADSB-IN or electronic conspicuity device (e.g. SkyEcho2)

AvTraffic provides both visual and audible alerts and integrates seamlessly with your existing EFB map display. Its key advantage? It shows traffic even from pilots who aren’t using the same EFB platform as you. 

You can also route audible alerts directly to your Bluetooth headset—delivering superior situational awareness in busy airspace while keeping your eyes outside the cockpit"

 

Most if my flying starts & finishes in congested airspace. Consequently I am intersted in any system/technique that might assist in allerting me to aircraft in my proximity (10NM?) especially those that may be closing with my position.

I

ave three conspicuity devices in my aircraft two of which display on my iPad ie require me to look at my panel

 

The above infomercial caught my eye. Something that will give me an audible warning, freeing my eyes for look & avoid - sounds great.

Unfortunatly I am of a generation that doesn't quite grasp the compatibilities of systems - so hoping the Forum will give me some advice.

 

I use a recently refurbished David Clark H10-13X ENC  head set - works very well.

 

The AVTraffic appears to works via Bluetooth to a headset (also Bluetooth??) - I assume I will either need a Bluetooth compatible headset or a Blue tooth/headset adapter . 

 

Is there a Bluetooth adapter for an old tech headset?

 

If so what does the Forum recomend?😈

Yes I read that BUT there is no mention of connection with an iPad, nor am I the least bit intersted in "Cell Phone & Music" - just want to be able to receive verbal/in head set, aircraft in proximity /conflict messages -

 

• Will this gizmo do this for me?
• How is it powered?
• What is an "Auxiliary Input."?

Auxiliary input is for a physical cable. Your iPad should  have Bluetooth.

Be good to view a user manual and likely require power via a cord (USB or similar)  Not branded either.

BrenDan - I appreciate your willingness to help this old duffer BUT ;

 

 

Aircraft Pilot's Headset Bluetooth Mobile Phone Adapter with GA Plugs and Auxiliary Input

• The photos show what looks to be two male & two female jacks. I assume this is for the input/ear circuit of the headset (s).
• I do not see an  "Auxiliary Input."
• Nor do I see any mention of how the unit is powered.

Yes my iPad has Bluetooth and it may be able to deliver music (never tried), definitely no phone, although it does have a Telstra "chip".

Does the existing iPad Bluetooth automatically mean that it will connect with this headset adapter device & deliver the warning messages from AvTraffic?

 

Then there is the BLULINK INTERFACE/GA  - even less information.

Found this  - Aircraft Spruce $95/43 + delivery.

It happens to have a good explanation of what it does & how its powered 😈

Does it answer your question about delivering avtraffic alarms

"If you use an iPad with ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, or any navigation software/device with terrain or traffic notifications, you need the BLUETOOTH Headset Interface. Our Bluetooth interface allows you to WIRELESSLY hear "TERRAIN" warnings or "TRAFFIC" notices, right in your headset - without the risk or inconvenience of wires!"

I have asked this question before but forget the answer.

On Oz runways I can see aircraft around me.

Do those planes have adsb or is it Oz runways  own signal

Oz shows oz and skyecho 2 will bring in others.

[skippydiesel]

SE2 is a ADSB IN/OUT devise - so yes it "brings in others" but only ADSB transponders. This is a big step forward HOWEVER older Mode C (I think)  systems will not appear on your EFB.

 

The three deaths at The Oaks (12 months ago) - the Cessna 182 had the old transponder, the Jabiru an SE2/OzRunways. Not saying the incompatibility of the systems was the cause of the mid-air, just that if they had both been on the same system, there may have been  a chance for evasive action.

 

We have this crazy situaton with aircraft flying in congested airspace with the older (legal) transponders - can be "seen" by ATC but not by OZRunways/SE2 - go figure!!!!!!😈
