The SkyWatch systems’ straight-forward design minimizes equipment incompatibility issues and limitations in performance. Other systems may require extra converters, expensive installations, or offer limited features with their quoted price. For example, accurate target data requires heading from an external source such as a Synchro Heading Source. Other collision avoidance systems may not offer a heading input or require expensive ARINC 429 digital inputs, which are usually found in newer and more expensive aircraft. SkyWatch has the flexibility to accept both the more prevalent Synchro Heading input as well as the ARINC 429 digital input and offers much more accurate target positioning than the competition.
