FlightBox Pro

NOTE: FlightBox Pro Will Begin Shipping In Late May / Early June
FlightBox Pro is the first multi-function ADS-B receiver to win FAA approval using the new NORSEE standard. That means it is eligible for installation in Part 23 / CAR3 aircraft and Part 27 and Part 29 rotorcraft as a minor alteration. You get full-time, hard-wired, dual-band ADS-B In, WAAS GPS, AHRS, barometric altitude – all for less than most portable ADS-B systems.
Professional Grade FlightBox Pro is ideal for flight school fleets, Part 135 operations, air ambulances, and other situations where a permanently installed solution makes sense.
Easy Installation FlightBox Pro requires only a power connection to your aircraft’s avionics bus. Antennas can be mounted inside the aircraft or externally. Most installations take one to two hours.
How It Works
FlightBox Pro receives ADS-B, GPS, attitude, and altitude information from a set of receivers and sensors. It forwards that information over a wireless link to EFB applications running on tablets or smartphones.

Q) Can FlightBox Pro be permanently installed in a certified aircraft?
A) Yes. FlightBox Pro is FAA approved for permanent installation in Part 23/CAR3 airplanes and Part 27 and Part 29 rotorcraft.
Q) What is the difference between the "single-band" and the "dual-band" receivers?
A) In the United States (and southern Canada to some degree) there are two ADS-B systems in use: the 1090-ES system and the UAT system. If you are in the US, we highly recommend the dual-band system as it provides weather and a more traffic data. Outside of the US and southern Canada we recommend the single-band system with the 1090-ES receiver.
Q) Does the FlightBox Pro system include a GPS?
A) Yes. FlightBox Pro includes a WAAS-enhanced GPS receiver and a glare shield-mounted GPS antenna. The system may also be connected to a passive roof-mount GPS antenna (not included). Note that the WAAS GPS on FlightBox Pro is not a certified / approved position source for ADS-B Out systems.
Q) My tablet has a GPS. Do I need to one on my FlightBox Pro?
A) Yes. The GPS data is used by the FlightBox AHRS system and will also be used for future features.
Q) Where should I mount the FlightBox Pro in my aircraft?
A) The FlightBox Pro includes mounting rails that allow you mount it to your airframe in multiple orientations. To use the attitude features you will need to set the orientation prior to mounting the box.
Q) Does FlightBox Pro have a built-in battery?
A) No. FlightBox Pro is powered from ship's power - usually through the avionics bus.
Q) How do I power FlightBox Pro?
A) Your A&P mechanic or avionics shop will need to add a 2 amp circuit breaker or fuse - generally on the avionics bus - and connect the power leads from the FlightBox Pro's wiring harness to the breaker. Installation is simple, generally taking only 1 - 2 hours.
