Avidyne TAS/FLARM anyone?

Post by Kekstrom »

Do anyone of you guys have Avidyne TAS (600) or flarm installed on your DA40? If so, where is the top antenna located on your airframe? Both manufacturers recommend as forward placement as possible (for optimal field of view) but in the DA40 there is not much of an option for this in my ac as the roof is occupied by 2 GPS antennas.

Is that the avidyne or flarm antenna? Do you also have bottom antenna? How is the field of view/reception, any problems?

TAS600 was factory installed. Love the system especially good when traveling into Canada’s airspace where those cowboys have no ads-b. I’m very happy with it especially as coupled to the GTX345r

It also comes with a bottom antenna, ours is placed slightly behind the transponder and DME antennas. Looks a bit different due to the interrogator:
