Description
The Aware 5 GPS is a moving map system that gives pilots vital visual and audible warnings if they are heading towards controlled airspace. Each system comes with the very latest airspace definitions and CAA 1:500,000 VFR chart for the UK displayed on a crystal clear full colour five inch screen. The larger screen now gives 30 per cent more screen area than the previous Aware units. Users can then download airspace updates available every 28 days on the AIRAC cycle. As with the original Aware system airspace updates are free for the life of the product.
In line with Airbox data integrity policy, airspace data has been sourced direct from NATS to ensure the utmost levels of accuracy and precision.
