L3Harris’ patented Lynx family of ADS-B transponders goes far beyond the capabilities of a conventional system by offering a range of new, advanced-generation features. Unlike other ADS-B solutions, Lynx features a full-color split-screen touchscreen where pilots can see their ADS-B traffic on the left, and weather, terrain and active traffic on the right.
With a simple tap of a finger, pilots can easily scroll through a variety of screens, including real-time FAA weather and traffic (FIS-B and TIS-B). FIS-B weather data includes METAR, AIRMET, SIGMET and NEXRAD, which are displayed on a moving map showing the aircraft’s position. Additionally, if pilots are equipped with a Stormscope WX-500, they can also view lightning with the Lynx unit.
