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!!!!!!😈

"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!" https://www.aircraftspruce.com.au/catalog/avpages/crazedpilot11-14137.php 😈

Found this - Aircraft Spruce $95/43 + delivery. It happens to have a good explanation of what it does & how its powered 😈

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. 😈

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."? 😈

Yeah! - had a look yesterday - couldn't make "head nor tail" Hence my contacting the learned member's of the Forum Which one, of the several similar sounding units, will do the job for me??.😈

Thank BrendAn - have writen to the company😈

From RAA Members and Subscribers Newsletter; "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?😈

You may have a doctorate in drone driving, that doesn't excuse the use of "in language" on an open Forum - just bad manners. Defending this with claims of superior training, as if this in some way justifies your position, is just adding insult to the first injury. 😈

Maaate: If it makes a drone operator feel like a pilot, by all means use all the bureaucratic mumbo jumbo you like. As far as I am concerned a Pilot manipulates his aircraft (or ship) from within😈

You shouldn't have to. In polite/inclusive society every acronym/abbreviation is flagged at the start of the conversation. If you want to exclude people - talk in the jargon that your tribe is familiar with.😈

If you are going to talk in Drone lingo, I suggest you do so on a drone only site😈

SCARY!😈

I hope not - the owner died a few months back but his partner & the factory staff are all extant. ATEC likly make the best performing aircraft in its class. Criteria: Superlative Flying Qualities/Low Stall/ High Cruise/Great Carrying Capacity/Comfort/Low Maintenance. Yes I am biased but I recon anyone who has had a few ours in a Faeta/Zephyr (now out of production) would have the same opinion. The closest performer to the Fatea is the Virus SW - has a lower carrying capacity and has a very very much higher (new) acquisition cost.😈
