See what you've been missing! Get traffic information on your Bendix/King AV8OR Handheld, Vision 3D or Horizon 3D straight from your XRX and without the need for TIS coverage. Zaon and Bendix/King have teamed up to provide highly-accurate traffic information overlayed on the same screen.

Hooking up an XRX to your AV8OR Handheld/Vision 3D/Horizon 3D is simple and easy. The XRX has a built-in serial port and AV8OR interface protocols that, when connected to the AV8OR serial port, provide traffic information that the AV8OR can read and display on the moving map and in other ways.

Similar to weather and terrain info and alerts, traffic information is overlaid directly on the moving map display. Bendix/King displays traffic position information in the form of white open diamonds (no threat) and yellow closed circles (threat). The traffic's relative altitude is also displayed next to the traffic icon. For example, an aircraft 500 feet above would be displayed as +05. The climb or descend trend is also displayed as either an up or down arrow.

If traffic becomes a threat, as determined by the Bendix/King, several things happen. A traffic pop-up screen in the lower left corner of the display will appear, regardless of which screen you are looking at. This is helpful if you have switched to the glass panel screen and aren't looking at the moving map. In addition, using the AV8OR voice alerts from the Bendix/King will announce Traffic Alerts as alert thresholds may be different between the two units. This is independent of the voice and beep alerts the XRX unit generates, which can be used as an alternative traffic alert source.

If you are familiar with TIS information displayed on the Bendix/King, then what you'll see from XRX is similar, except you will never get the "Traffic not available" alert... you are always in XRX coverage! To receive TIS information, the Mode S transponder must be in a TIS broadcast environment, which is primarily around major metropolitan areas. Outside this area, TIS information is not available. The XRX Mode C-based system receives and processes information independently of any service and can send traffic information to the Bendix/King, even if you are not in TIS coverage.
