It is suggested that FlySense AoA PRO  is always connected to a power source, and is 
operated with the battery-switch on. In case of power-failure, FlySense AoA PRO will 
continue its operation after a short reboot (please make sure you reconnect to the FlySense 
WiFi network). 

Please note that, in the latter case, i.e. power failure and operation on the internal 

battery, the tethered connection (see below section 1.3, paragraph “USB Cable Connection”) to the 
smart mobile device (smartphone or tablet) will not work, and you must enable the wifi connection.

 

Important Note:

  Always make sure to turn the FlySense battery-switch off when FlySense AoA 

PRO is not in operation and the mains aircraft switch is off. In the opposite case, the device will 
remain turned on, powered by its internal battery, until the battery is completely drained. 

 

 

 

 

 

  1.3 Software – EFIS TA app

 

 

FlySense AoA PRO operates with the free EFIS TA app offered by TalosAvionics. EFIS TA app 
has been tested to comply with ASTM F3153 –  15 Standard Specification for Verification of 
Avionics Systems. EFIS TA app runs on smart mobile devices (tablets or smartphones) with iOS 
or Android operating systems. 
 

EFIS TA app for Android can be downloaded from 

Google Play Market. 

    

EFIS TA app for iOS can be downloaded from 

Apple’s App Store. 

             

EFIS TA software instructions can be downloaded from 

https://www.talosavionics.com/support/

 

PLEASE DO READ THE EFIS TA APP SOFTWARE INSTRUCTIONS! 

EFIS TA app may operate in standalone mode, when the smart mobile device is not 

connected to a FlySense AoA PRO, or --preferably--  in connected mode, when the smart 
mobile device is connected to a FlySense AoA PRO.  

When EFIS TA app runs on a smart mobile device in standalone mode, it displays a relevant 

message informing the pilot about operation in standalone mode and runs by employing the 
internal sensors of the smart mobile device (assuming that the latter is equipped with the 
necessary sensors). When the smart mobile device is connected to a FlySense AoA PRO via a 
cable-adaptor or via wifi, the EFIS TA app automatically recognizes FlySense AoA PRO, and 
the above message disappears. If, for any reason, connection to the FlySense AoA PRO is lost 
(e.g. FlySense AoA PRO is turned off due to: power failure & battery-switch in off position), 
EFIS TA app switches automatically to standalone mode and the message reappears. 
Accordingly, the pilot may continue using EFIS TA app with the internal sensors of the smart 
mobile device as a backup, even in case of power failure!  

From the main screen of the EFIS TA app interface, you can tap on “MENU” button and 

navigate to “sensor status window” and check the status of the sensors, as depicted in Fig. 3 
below.
