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 Displays (ATD-11, ATD-57, and
ATD-80) 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 rst
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.

Model Part number Description
AIR Trac Display 11 ATD-11 Cockpit Display of Trac information (CDTI) in a exibly
mountable package
AIR Trac Display 57 ATD-57 Cockpit Display of Trac information (CDTI) for 57mm stan-

dard panel cutouts
ATD are cockpit displays. Multiple ATD can be used in a single aircraft. The small outline
and multifunctional software of the devices allow for better system integration in space
constrained environments. The pilot-centered user interface aims at reducing crew
workload, increasing crew eciency and improving ight safety.

1.3 System Capabilities
AIR Trac Display (ATD-11, ATD-57, or ATD-80) is a small and aordable Cockpit Display
of Trac Information (CDTI) that is displaying trac and warning messages generated by
connected trac systems or trac receivers.
Comprehensive position and danger-level information on dangerous trac are given.
Additionally, detailed target data is optionally displayed. ATD features a sunlight readable
TFT display with a 2 inch (ATD-57) or 2.7 inch (ATD-11, ATD-80) screen diameter. It features
eld updateable software and is capable of using trac databases (e.g. FLARMNet) from
a mass storage device (microSD card). ATD emits aural alerts through an integrated alert
sounder.
1.4 Trac System Compatibility
ATD is compatible to many trac systems. The following list shows trac systems ATD has
been tested with. Many other trac systems may be compatible as well. ATD is certied as
‘‘FLARM compatible’’ in the category ‘‘Standalone Display’’.
Not all trac systems provide for the same functionality. ATD is only capable of
displaying data it receives from connected trac systems.

While many factors have to be carefully taken into account, it is recommended to
always use an RS-232 data rate of at least 38,400Bd for interfacing ATD-57 to a trac
system. Higher data rates come with the benet of higher bandwidth and therefore
the capability to transfer more information per time.
