iFly GPS Forum

This has been on the wish list for a couple years now.

I am now looking to find an app that will do this.

I have flow with pilots that have this feature and I like not having to look down at the screen to determing where the traffic is.

I get my current IFLY warnings via a small cable from my Lightspeed and/or BOSE headsets. Of course, Bluetooth would be nice, but any metgod of verbal traffic warnings would be a huge upgrade.

Flew with a friend in his 206 with Garmin. Loved being able to just look where it told us.

Also: I started depending too much on the ADSB to warn me until I remembered that heads up is STILL paramount since many do not have A DSB or do they plan to install it. Took only one close pass to get my head back outside.

Verbal warnings will help keep heads up.

I am surprised that I don't see more requests for this feature.

The output of my Android devices...phone, tablet...have an 1/8" output jack. From there I plug in my BOSE or Zulu aux connection.

The cable is about 3 feet long and can be purchased at any electronics outlet.

When I am on final I pull the plug out of my Android device and plug it into a panel jack that gives me AOA stall warning for that nice, slow touchdown. This is really helpful for those short and high back country strips.

I should mention that my paranoia about traffic is a result of a midair I survived several years back.  Now I have ADSB, a rear view mirror and smoke to "see and be seen."
