What is Sentry
A portable device that allows all pilots to enjoy the benefits of increased situational awareness, with ADS-B IN receiver functionality to see other aircraft on your EFB. Sentry offers 3 devices: Sentry Mini, Sentry, and Sentry Plus (See "Compare Sentry Devices" section below).
How does Sentry work?
Sentry is an ADS-B IN device only. The ADS-B IN receiver detects ADS-B OUT signals from the aircraft in your vicinity (approx. 40NM) and displays this traffic on your OzRunways map, in addition to OzRunways Traffic Bubbles. There is no further running cost or subscription required for operating Sentry.
How do I connect my Sentry to OzRunways?
2. Open your iPhone/iPad Settings → Wi-Fi → connect to the Sentry Wi-Fi network
3. Ensure that Enable GDL90 is turned ON in OzRunways → Settings → Device Options
4. From the OzRunways map screen, tap the traffic icon in the top right-hand corner to reveal the traffic system settings.
Does it have traffic alerting capability?
While FLARM functionality may be supported by the device, unfortunately, we do not hold a FLARM license and most importantly it does not operate on a frequency that we can integrate into the Australian EFB, currently only the UK and Europe.
