The ADL180 comes with a non certified 1090 MHz ADS-B receiver. Not all aircraft are
broadcasting 1090 MHz ABS-B and the non certified nature of the ADL180 means that
due to antenna installation etc. it could even miss signals from aircraft broadcasting
ADS-B.
NEVER RELY ON THE ADL180 FOR COLLISION AVOIDANCE!

General Description ADL170 and ADL180
The ADL180 is a portable satellite weather receiver with additional ADS-B 1090 MHz
traffic and AHRS.
The ADL170 is a lower cost version of the ADL180 without the ADS-B and AHRS
modules. All other features are identical.
9 Certification
ADL170/180
Both devices are portable devices. They are not intended to be fitted permanently to an
aircraft. There is no paperwork to do so and due to the internal battery we strongly
suggest not to attempt any permanent installations even on experimental aircraft etc. If
looking for an installed solution, please have a look at our other devices for which
EASA minor change paperwork is available.

processed and the device will receive no data.
