Steve,

Thanks for checking with us. We do have a small number iFly 720 working with the Clarity, however there is a connectivity issue with many of the two devices. Clarity uses a "peer-to-peer" connection and there are report of these connectivity issues on other devices as well. It is my understanding that Clarity may be looking at a firmware update, however this is not confirmed.

As for devices that play friendly with the iFly 720, below is a list and thier connectivity types.

iFly 720/700 Supported ADS-B Transceivers (Wi-Fi, USB, Serial):

  • SkyGuardTWX Vision Pro - ADS-B Transciever 978/1090 (Wi-Fi / iFly 720).
  • SkyGuardTWX Vision Pro w/ AHRS- ADS-B Transciever 978 (Wi-Fi / iFly 720).
  • NavWorx ADS600B (Serial for iFly 700/720).

iFly 720 Supported ADS-B Receivers (Wi-Fi, USB, Serial):

  • SkyGuardTWX ADS-B Receivers. (Wi-Fi).
  • iLevil SW & AW ADS-B Receiver w/ AHRS (Wi-Fi).
  • SkyRadar (Original, L Models, S Models and D Models) via Wi-Fi only or USB.
  • NavWorx (ADS-600, ADS-600B via Serial).
  • Stratus (Beta via Wi-Fi).
  • Clarity and Clarity SV (early iFly 720's w/ serial beginning FL11 are compatible via Wi-Fi).
  • FreeFlight (Ranger and Xplorer in development for Wi-Fi and Serial).


Shane,

Before I ordered my SkyRadar-L, Adventure Pilot said that they would support it (both TIS-B and FIS-B) with the iFly 700. Did you just forget to mention the SkyRadar-L or is not (now) supported?

My iFly 700 has been locked out when connecting to the SkyRadar-L. Is that something that AP has on the list to fix? Please advise.

S. Morgan,

My apologies, I just did not include the 700 only outline as the original post was directed to the 720 and Clarity. Below are the 700 ADS-B Models that are supported via USB/Serial.

iFly 700 Supported ADS-B Receivers (USB):

  • SkyRadar (Original, L Models, S Models and D Models) via USB connection.
  • iLevil AW ADS-B Receiver w/ AHRS via USB to Serial connection.
  • NavWorx (ADS-600, ADS-600B) via USB to Serial connection.
  • FreeFlight (Ranger and Xplorer in development) via USB connection.

Sorry for any confusion. The 700 does support the SkyRadar-L. Please give our support team a call so we can get your Software Version and Serial Number fo your 700. It may be as simple as a firmware update.

Also, when you say locked out, please expand on that. (Freezes up, Won't show ADS-D, etc.)

FWIW, I'm flying with an iFly720 and the SkyRadar D2 and the wifi connection has been solid as long as I wait 30 seconds before starting the iFly. And I am getting more traffic than I ever imagined and I'm getting it in some rural areas of Virginia and Maryland to my surprise. And, yeah, I get my ghost sometimes too but I ignore it now. The more I use this combination, the more amazed I am with both the weather and traffic.
