THE COMPLETE RECEIVER
The traffic essentials, finished and supported.
IFT-01 is intended to fill the space between a do-it-yourself receiver and expensive feature-heavy equipment: practical hardware, clear support, and the functions pilots use most.
Internal GNSS
Determines its own position and provides GPS data to the connected EFB.
Standard GDL 90 output
Delivers implemented traffic, position, and supported broadcast data over a local Wi-Fi connection.
Self-contained antennas
Internal ADS-B and GNSS antennas keep the cockpit clean and eliminate extra pieces to attach.
USB-C powered
Operates continuously from an appropriate aircraft USB source or suitable external battery pack.
Automatic power-on
Designed to start when external power is applied, with a filesystem strategy built to tolerate normal power removal.
Cockpit-focused thermal design
Strong passive heat management is a core validation priority for operation in a sunlit cockpit.
Useful browser status
Planned status includes GPS, ADS-B activity, traffic, towers, temperature, power health, connected clients, and firmware.
Simple firmware updates
The update process is being designed for ordinary pilots, without command-line work or receiver programming.
Minimal indicators
A restrained status light communicates starting, ready, and fault/update states without adding cockpit distraction.
No receiver subscription
No cellular plan, proprietary receiver app, or recurring receiver-side subscription is intended.
Clear product support
Model and serial identification, support information, diagnostics, documentation, and a planned one-year warranty.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Useful.
Dependable.
Honest.
We are building an aviation appliance—not a computer project.
Setup should be simple. Diagnostics should be understandable. Recovery should not require technical expertise. And every compatibility or performance promise should be earned through repeatable testing.
Fewer distractionsMinimal controls and lightingFewer failure pointsNo aging internal batteryFewer surprisesTested claims and clear limitations

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you fly with IFT-01.
How does IFT-01 connect to my tablet?
IFT-01 creates its own local Wi-Fi network. Join that network from your tablet or phone, open a supported EFB, and verify that the receiver is connected.
Which aviation apps will work?
IFT-01 is intended to work with GDL 90-capable apps such as ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, Avare, WingX, and FlyQ. Exact compatibility and supported data types will be published after testing each app.
Will I receive all nearby traffic?
No portable receiver can guarantee that every aircraft will be displayed. Traffic depends on aircraft equipment, altitude, reception, ground coverage, rebroadcast availability, antenna placement, and EFB behavior.
Why use external power instead of a battery?
Leaving out an internal battery reduces battery aging, heat, charging complexity, shipping restrictions, and replacement concerns. It also lets the pilot choose an external power source appropriate for the flight.
Will weather be supported?
Weather behavior depends on received broadcasts and the connected EFB. Verified data types and app behavior will be published after testing.
Does IFT-01 replace installed ADS-B Out?
No. IFT-01 is a portable ADS-B In receiver for advisory situational awareness. It does not meet ADS-B Out requirements or replace required installed equipment.
Can several devices connect at once?
Multi-device operation is an engineering target, but the supported number is still under test. We will publish a specific client count only after stable mixed-device testing.
When can I order?
Ordering will open after the core hardware, software, compatibility, thermal, RF, and power-recovery validation gates are complete.
Important: IFT-01 provides advisory information to support situational awareness. It is not a collision-avoidance system, does not replace required installed equipment, and is not a substitute for visual scanning, official weather sources, or pilot judgment. Displayed data depends on equipment, reception, coverage, rebroadcast availability, software compatibility, and other conditions.
