  • Page 7: Getting Started

    Getting Started 1.1 Introduction The AIR Tra c (AT-1) by AIR Avionics is a tra c/electronic conspicuity system based on 1090 MHz receiving and FLARM transceiving technology. AT-1 uses 1090 MHz Mode-S transponder replies , 1090 MHz ADS-B broadcasts, and FLARM broadcasts to determine positions, ight vectors, and threat levels of other air tra c.

    General Theory of Operation 2.1 ADS-B In The AT-1 ADS-B In capability allows it to receive tra c data through a built in 1090 MHz Extended Squitter (1090 ES) receiver. Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) is the automatic broadcast of position reports by aircraft, surface vehicles, and transmitters on xed objects.

    avionics 2. General Theory of Operation and user interface clutter. Some cockpit displays only show information about the most relevant bearingless target if a collision threat is detected and a warning is given to the ight crew. Some display systems only display bearingless targets as a numerical value, for example: 5 miles / +500ft.

    avionics 2. General Theory of Operation 2.5 Collision Warnings 2.5.1 Normal Collision Warnings AT-1 is able to calculate con icting ight patterns and to issue collision warnings. AT-1 warns about obstacles on the ground (cables, masts, etc.) if a current obstacle database is installed.
  • Page 13 avionics 2. General Theory of Operation 2.5.2 Protection Volumes In addition to calculated threat levels, several ‘‘protection volumes’’ can be de ned in the system con guration of the AT-1. Up to four di erent volumes can be con gured, each of which has di erent priorities.

  • Page 22: Software And Database Updates

    AT-1 transmits a software version identi cation over its data interfaces and over the voice audio output. These informations can be displayed in compatible displays like, for example, the AIR Avionics AIR Tra c Displays. 6.2 Software/Database Loading Software updates and the obstacle database are loaded using a USB thumb drive (USB stick).

The database is automatically loaded. When the database license expires, the database can no longer be used and database functions are no longer available.

  • Page 24: System Status

    System Status AT-1 features a range of built-in self test features that continuously monitor system state and the state of connected systems to detect failures. The detection of a failure is always transferred to connected cockpit systems and additionally displayed using the built-in status LEDs. Additionally, failures can be reviewed in the AT-1 con guration webpage.
