General Description 1
1.1 Introduction
This manual is intended to provide mechanical and electrical information for use in the
planning and design of an installation of the Air Trac (AT-1) into an aircraft. This manual
is not a substitute for an approved airframe-specic maintenance manual, installation
design drawing, or complete installation data package. Attempting to install equipment by
reference to this manual alone and without planning or designing an installation specic to
your aircraft may compromise your safety and is not recommended. The content of this
manual assumes use by competent and qualied avionics engineering personnel and/or
avionics installation specialists using standard aviation maintenance practices in accordance
with relevant accepted practices. This manual is not intended for use by individuals who do
not possess the competencies and abilities set forth above. Refer to section ‘‘Limitations’’
for additional information and other considerations.
1.2 Equipment Description
Model Part number Description
AIR Trac AT-1 Trac Warning System based on FLARM and ADS-B Technology
AT-1 is a small, lightweight trac/electronic conspicuity system based on FLARM and ADS-B
technology. It detects the position of surrounding air trac and transmits the own position
to other aircraft that are equipped with compatible systems. It transfers trac data and
warning messages to compatible cockpit display systems, annunciators, and other avionics
systems using various data interfaces.

1. General Description
air avionics
1.3 System Capabilities
AT-1 detects other trac transmitting FLARM, ADS-B or Mode-S transponder data. Moreover,
AT-1 broadcasts the own aircraft’s position, altitude, and trajectory to other aircraft using
FLARM.
AT-1 exchanges data with avionics systems in the own aircraft using a broad range of
standardizeddatainterfaces. AT-1is compatibleto a wide range ofcockpitsystemsincluding
trac displays, navigation systems, apps on tablets or smartphones, audio systems, and
warning annunciators.
As there are neither minimum performance standards (MPS) nor technical standard orders
(TSO) for FLARM based collision warning systems, AT-1 is not certied. It can be legally
installed into many aircraft types based on several regulations covering installation of
non-TSO articles, for example by means of EASA Standard Change Approvals (CS-STAN) or
specic EASA Minor Change Approvals or Supplementary Type Certicates (STC) that have
been created by AIR Avionics or third-party organisations.
AT-1 cannotbeusedasa replacementforcertiedTAS/TCASsystems. It maynotbe usedas asubstitute
for these systems, especially, not in cases where the installation of TAS/TCAS systems is mandated.
