true-unit.jpglogo-trueflight.pngSee what you've been missing! Get traffic information on your True Flight Flight Cheetah straight from your XRX. Zaon and True Flight have teamed up to provide highly-accurate traffic information overlayed on the same screen you've been looking at.

Available for both portable and hard-wired use (experimental/homebuilts), hooking up an XRX to your Flight Cheetah is simple and easy. The XRX has a built-in serial port and interface protocols that, when connected to the Flight Cheetah via the serial/USB port, provide traffic information that appears on the moving map and in other ways.

What you see

TCAS-style Icons and Info

Traffic information is displayed on the Flight Cheetah in the lower right corner of the main screen. The box can be configured to appear at all times, only when an aircraft gets within 600 feet of your altitude, or even full-screen.

The box displays traffic position information in the form of diamonds diamonds (no threat) and closed circles (threat). The shapes are color coded red, yellow and green to indicate the level of the traffic threat.

The traffic's relative altitude is also displayed next to the traffic icon. For example, an aircraft 400 feet above would be displayed as +04. The climb or descend trend is also displayed as either an up or down arrow.

When interfacing with a third-party system, XRX will not display any traffic information on the built-in screen, only which COM profile you have selected. This is done to free up processing time for more efficient traffic detection. However, all button functions work as normal, and you can even switch to a COM setting of "NONE" to temporarily see traffic on the XRX.
