Zaon PCAS XRX-A ONYX Portable Collision Avoidance Review

Zaon PCAS XRX-A ONYX Portable Collision Avoidance Details

Product Description

Traffic awareness is everyone's concern, but so has been the cost of traffic systems, until now. PCAS XRX is the first ever portable, passive, stand-alone collision avoidance system for general aviation to offer direction from within the cockpit. PCAS, or Portable Collision Avoidance System, is Zaon's solution for providing high-quality, low cost traffic information to the general aviation pilot. XRX is the flagship model, providing a complete picture in a simple, easy-to-use device. PCAS represents Zaon's third generation of proven traffic detection technology. XRX is truly a "Plug and Go" device with its built-in antenna system and built-in display.

The one that gives direction

An industry first, XRX detects threat aircraft direction from within your cockpit using a cutting-edge, proprietary, self-contained antenna design. With direction, locating and identifying traffic is simple and easy, and traffic information is "three-dimensional", which means it can be displayed on third-party systems, such as moving map GPS devices. Read more about this below.

Don't let the tiny size fool you

XRX was designed to be placed on the glareshield. Yet despite its incredibly small and self-contained, XRX sacrifices none of the accuracy found in much more expensive, installed systems. The majority of the height is for the enclosed antenna array. In most cases, the unit sits below the visual line of the propeller, out of the pilot's line-of-sight and presents useful traffic information in plain sight in front of the pilot.

The PCAS XRX traffic system is a complete package and comes with everything you need to simply "Plug and Go", including:

* Dash-mount unit with integrated antenna

* Cigarette-lighter adaptor

* Headset-DirectTMAudio cable

* Velcro mounting dots

* Silicone "gripper" feet
