TAS600 Series and ADS-B
As the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) is implemented and with the mandate for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) on the horizon, you can fly with confidence knowing that all Avidyne TAS600 Series Traffic Advisory Systems are fully upgradeable to provide RTCA DO-260B ADS-B “In” capabilities. The TAS600 Series with ADS-B “In” will depict 1090ES ADS-B-equipped aircraft with better accuracy and at a further range than active-surveillance alone, plus you will continue to benefit from the active-surveillance capability of TAS for non-ADS-B aircraft and as a GPS-independent traffic awareness system. Avidyne has demonstrated itself as a proven leader in advanced avionics and continues to be at the forefront of NextGen implementation in aviation.
The following is a list of displays that will work with the TAS600:
