operation, Geographic Weather Correlation, OverFlight protection and turbulence detection. The RTA-4100 accurately depicts weather and weather-related hazard events at any location around the globe. This capability gives flight crews a more-accurate depiction of weather and turbulence hazards that significantly reduces flight deck workload and training for pilots. The RTA-4100 MultiScan radar supports integration of new sources of data as they become available. Rockwell Collins markets two other systems: The TWR850/WXR-840 package, and the WXR-2100. The solid-state TWR-850 delivers ranges to more than 300 nautical miles in a smaller package offering many of the same features as its bigger hangar mate. The solid-state WXR-2100 MultiScan ThreatTrack detects and analyzes adverse weather phenomena and automatically displays weather that is a threat to aircraft. Its advanced technology makes optimum adjustments to maximize the "probability of detecting" weather hazards during all phases of flight, reducing long deviations and delays to the gate and ensuring a safer, smoother and more-efficient journey. And it can track up to 40 individual cells and show their movement. Plan Ahead Today Call Now! Datalink options: Plentiful - and an option for any aircraft Turn in almost any direction and a system exists to bring datalink weather into the cockpit. Virtually every avionics maker offers an option to use ADS-B In - the source of the FAA's free-weather FIS-B - either directly onto a cockpit display or to a portable device. Many of the options for datalink weather radar in the cockpit are integral to some solutions for equipping with ADS-B. Some provide their own display, some can use a cockpit display - and others employ Wi-Fi capabilities that allow the display to wirelessly connect to a portable device such as an Android phone or tablet, an Apple iPhone or iPad, or on a dedicated portable display. The options are many, the benefits numerous. And as a complement to airborne weather radar, they give flight crews a view unavailable from the airborne weather radar installed in the aircraft. q AIE INC Get ADS-B Installed By The Best AVIONICS INSTRUMENTS ELECTRONICS or get stuck with the rest AVIONICS ~ INSTRUMENTS ~ ELECTRONICS ~ ELECTRICAL HARNESSES ADS-B is a real time aircraft locating system that allows Air Traffic Control Towers as well as other aircraft to locate your current position. It is FAA mandate that by January 1st, 2020 aircraft must be compliant with an ADSB-Out Configuration.
