There are four types of sources:
- Location Sources: Used to display your current location and altitude (GPS-based).
- Attitude Sources: Used for the synth view.
- Pressure Sources: Used to show your pressure altitude.
- Traffic Sources: Used to display nearby aircrafts.
Some of the external devices can be used for multiple sources. For example the Levil AHRS G provides location, attitude, pressure and traffic information to Air Navigation Pro.
Location Sources
Flight Simulators
- Air Navigation Pro can be connected to flight simulators and use them as a source for the data displayed on it:
- MS Flight Simulator X / Prepar3D
- X-Plane
External Devices
- External sensors that transmit location data to Air Navigation Pro
- Flytec SensBox
- Levil AHRS G Mini and iLevil 1 & 2
- FLARM / AirAvionics Air Connect
iOS Location Services
- Useful to receive GPS signal (either internal or external). Note that other External GPS receivers like the ones from Bad-Elf, Garmin or Dual will use this sensor.
Attitude Sources
Flight Simulators
- Air Navigation Pro can connect to flight simulators and use them as source for the data displayed on it:
- MS Flight Simulator X / Prepar3D
- X-Plane
External Devices
- External sensors that transmit attitude data to Air Navigation Pro:
- Flytec SensBox
- Levil AHRS G Mini and iLevil 1 & 2
Internal IMU
- To connect with the internal gyroscopes of the iPad/iPhone.
Pressure Sources
Flight Simulators
- Air Navigation Pro can connect to flight simulators and use them as a source for the data displayed on it:
- MS Flight Simulator X / Prepar3D
- X-Plane
External Devices
- External sensors that transmit pressure data to Air Navigation Pro:
- Flytec SensBox
- Levil AHRS G Mini and iLevil 1 & 2
- ASI FlyNET2
Internal Barometric sensor
- Starting with the iPhone 6 & iPad Air 2, the devices are equipped with a barometer. Air Navigation leverage this barometer to better understand the location of the aircraft.
Note: Remember that if you are flying on a pressurized cabin, the sensor will show the cabin altitude and not the flight altitude. In order to correct this, you just have to disable the iPhone/iPad's barometric sensor and enable the GPS one.
