  • ADS-B IN Capability: Detects 1090ES ADS-B-equipped aircraft with enhanced accuracy and range, supplementing active surveillance for non-ADS-B aircraft.
  • Display Compatibility: Compatible with over 15 different manufacturers' display systems, including Avidyne, Garmin, Honeywell, and others.
  • Heads-Up Audible Position Alert: Provides verbal alerts indicating conflicting aircraft's bearing, range, and altitude for rapid visual acquisition.
  • Dual Directional Antennas: Patented top and bottom antennas enhance signal coverage and update speed.
Models:
  • TAS600: Suitable for entry-level, single-engine piston aircraft with a 7nm range and 3,500-foot vertical separation.
  • TAS605A: For mid-performance aircraft, offering a 13nm active range and 20nm ADS-B range.
  • TAS615A: Designed for high-performance aircraft with a 17nm active range and 30nm ADS-B range.
  • TAS620A: The top model with a 21nm active range and 40nm ADS-B range.
Specifications:
  • Processor Dimensions: 7.25” width, 3.1” height, 11.68” depth; Weight: 6.8 lbs.
  • Power Requirements: 2.90 Amp @ 14VDC, 1.55 Amp @ 28VDC.
  • Environmental: Operating range from -20C to +55C, short-term up to +70C.

TAS-A Series-1

TAS-AVeriTAS /ADS-B Series Traffic Advisory System with ™ Avidyne’s TAS-A Series Traffic Advisory Systems with VeriTAS provide active surveillance traffic detection capability along with the accuracy of “Traffic! Six o’clock! Low! One mile!” Dual Antenna TAS-A with ADS-B IN & VeriTAS Avidyne’s TAS-A Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS) combine the ADS-B IN and actively interrogated targets of the transponders of nearby aircraft and seamlessly correlates this information on a wide range of display systems, while providing visual and audible alerts in the event of a potential traffic conflict. Providing real-time traffic monitoring and advisories, the TAS-A Series is not radar-coverage limited, and can provide collision avoidance protection independent of ground-based systems. The TAS-A Series detects and depicts 1090ES ADS-B-equipped aircraft with better accuracy and at a further range than active-surveillance alone, plus you continue to benefit from the active-surveillance capability of TAS for non-ADS-B aircraft and as an independent traffic awareness system—regardless of GPS operation or ADS-B coverage or participation. 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 the TAS-A is designed to provide full 1090MHz ADS-B IN capabilities.
