Its no secret among operators and the industry that some of the more interesting recent avionics advances have come not from the established manufacturers but from upstarts developing tablet-based apps and selling portable ADS-B receivers to feed them data. Along the way, theres been a bright line preventing portable devices from providing data to installed avionics aboard certified aircraft, but technologies like Garmins Connext and Aspens Connected Panel are starting to blur it.
Recent avionics innovations are largely driven by tablet-based apps and portable ADS-B receivers from upstart companies, challenging traditional manufacturers.
New technologies are blurring the historical separation between portable devices and installed avionics in certified aircraft.
While the convenience of portable device integration is appealing, their history of unreliability (compared to certified installed avionics) necessitates close monitoring and verification.
