L-3 Avionics Offering New Verbal Alerts for Its SkyWatch Collision Avoidance System
L-3 Avionics Systems has
an enhancement for its SkyWatch general aviation collision avoidance system
that will include verbal alerts.
L-3's new SkyWatch 497 with VIP (verbal intruder positioning) capability
gives the pilot warnings such as, "traffic, traffic - 12 o'clock high - 3
miles," in addition to a normal visual display of range, bearing and
relative altitude when a TA (traffic advisory) is issued. In addition, the
system will display up to 10 targets simultaneously, depending on the
aircraft's display capability.
The company is offering a
nominal-fee upgrade option to all existing SkyWatch 497 owners and a
five-year warranty for new customers.
