NavWorx ADSB

Has the NavWorx ADSB unit been looked at for compatibility with the iFly? This is a mounted (not portable) ADSB in/out unit that was just certified. It looks to work off any existing mode C transponder. A WiFi module is available for the unit.
Looks interesting...

Works well. I'm currently using both wired and wifi connections. Wifi to the iFly works fine.

Re: NavWorx ADSB

Good to know. Now that they have TSO and STC certification for production aircraft, I am interested. Oshkosh pricing is starts at $2400, so all said and done it looks like this could be installed for about $3,000 +/- depending on wiring to displays cost (and me doing most of the labor). Since it looks like it would support 2 devices via WiFi, I would look to use it with the iFly and maybe an iPad as a second screen. From what I see, this is all that would be needed to support the 2020 ADSB Mandate.

Re: NavWorx ADSB

OK, I was corrected on the CPA site, someone close to NavWorx reported that the flyer posted on their website was for Oshkosh last year. The pre-pricing for the ADS600-BG ended August Last Year (small print was hard to read) Typical with a small company trying to keep their website up to date.
I am still thinking of putting this in my C-182 this year, and my Grumman Yankee down the road. This minimizes the number of wires run around the cockpit, meets the 2020 mandate, and utilizes the current Mode C hardware. It has been reported here that this works fine with the iFly720. How about with the iFly iPad app? I would like to purchase an iPad to add as a second screen.

Re: NavWorx ADSB

Rich,

Yes, the ADS-600B and BG do work with the iFly 720 and the iPad App. You'd just need to make sure the NavWorx has the Wi-Fi module upgrade. We've tested it here and all work nicely. When you get the iPad, you can add the $19.99 Multi-Platform option and use both the iFly 720 and iPad on the same subscription. Hope this helps and have a great July 4th Weekend.
