SkyView can receive traffic information from a variety of devices. These currently include the
SV-ADSB-470 (US Only), TIS traffic supplied by the SV-XPNDR-26X or Garmin GTX 330/330ES
Transponders, passive traffic from the Zaon XRX, FLARM (predominantly in Europe) and the
NavWorx ADS-B receivers.
Traffic is displayed on the Map Page in the location that it is reported to be in by the connected
traffic device.
Traffic information is informational only, and does not relieve the pilot-in-command
of their responsibility to see and avoid traffic.
Traffic is displayed as reported by the device sending it to SkyView. The precision
and accuracy of the location of traffic targets may vary from device to device, and
this may impact how accurately the position is represented on the SkyView display.
For example: TIS traffic updates, such as those received by the SV-XPNDR-26X, may
be anywhere from 2-12 seconds old due to radar latency and other technical
factors. Be sure to understand the traffic-detection capabilities of your traffic
device thoroughly so you understand how to best interpret the position of the
traffic displayed on SkyView.
Useful information about the TIS traffic system, including airports that have TIS
service can be found in the FAA AIM:
SV-ADSB-470 Traffic Display Capabilities (US Only)
The SV-ADSB-470 works in tandem with your SV-XPNDR-26X or Garmin GTX 330ES transponder
module to provide the ADS-B based TIS-B traffic picture around your aircraft when you have
both products and a Navigation Mapping Software License is activated. This is enabled by the
following bidirectional data link capability:
1. The SV-XPNDR-26X or Garmin GTX 330ES has ADS-B out capability via its 1090ES
capability.
2. The SV-ADSB-470 contains an ADS-B 978MHz “UAT Band” receiver that can see other
traffic – both ADS-B equipped targets AND radar targets - in the following manner:
a. ADS-B equipped aircraft: The SV-ADSB-470 can detect traffic transmitting ADS-B
out messages via 978 MHz directly.
b. TIS-B: Additionally, the FAA’s ADS-B TIS-B service, seeing your transponder’s
1090ES ADS-B out transmission - but knowing that your aircraft only has 978
MHz input capability via the SV-ADSB-470 - assembles a traffic portrait of all
traffic that it knows about that are within 15 Nm and +/- 5000 ft. of your aircraft.
This includes:
(1) ADS-R (rebroadcast) targets: The FAA ADS-B system will rebroadcast all
of the 1090ES ADS-B-equipped targets onto the 978 MHz band for your
benefit
