The sensors menu from Air Navigation Pro shows the different device's connections that can be used as sources to be shown during the navigation. 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

Internal Sensors bridge

  • to pair with another device (an iPad with an iPhone for example). It is possible to connect a Wifi only iPad to an iPhone with an internal GPS module and let the iPhone share the location data with the iPad.


Flight Simulators

  • Air Navigation Pro can be connected 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 location data to Air Navigation Pro
    • Flytec SensBox
    • Levil AHRS G Mini and iLevil 1 & 2
    • FLARM / AirAvionics Air Connect


iOS Location Services

  • to be able 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

Internal Sensors bridge

  • used to share attitude between devices


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

Internal Sensors bridge

  • Used to share pressure information between devices


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 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. Airnav leverage this barometer to better understand the location of the aircraft and show even more accurate data.

Traffic Sources

Levil AHRS G Mini and iLevil 1 & 2
  • Uses the ADS-B information and displays it on the moving map


FLARM / Air Avionics Air Connect

  • FLARM receivers are only compatible with Air Navigation Pro when using Air Connect from Air Avionics





Note: Other ADS-B receivers like PilotAware have also been proven compatible with Air Navigation. The connection to Air Nav Pro has to be made via WiFi for these devices to work. We do not deliver a full list of compatible devices. Our testing was made with the above mentioned devices, we can not guarantee that other devices will work as well.
