Finally, TSO’d match to the sky beacon.. works perfectly. Very easy install and nice upgrade for seamless adsb-in connect.

I now have the SkyBeacon on the left wing and the SkySensor on the right wing. Easy two wire install and all done. Works great.

uAvionix skySensor Integrated Wingtip ADS-B In System TSO

I have had the SKY-BEACON on my Piper Cherokee PA-28 for several years and have been happy with it. I always wanted to get the complimentary unit for the right wing so I could have the matching strobe and navigation light. However Uavionix has never come out with that unit. So when I learned that I could use this experimental unit in my plane if done as a minor alteration I purchased it and had it installed with a logbook entry and IA sign-off. It had to take my wing tip off because the backing plate for the old incandescent light fixture was frozen but it was not a big deal. The unit mated up with no problem and worked the first time I joined it on wifi with my I-pad. Lights and strobe worked as well. Lee U.

Didn’t fit the tip perfectly on the pa-28 but install otherwise went without a hitch.

Done as a minor alteration with IA, works very well and so much better then the old dull bulb with no strobe.

This CAN be installed on a certified aircraft if done as a minor alteration. Logbook entry and IA signoff. Works great.

I have had this Skysensor for over a year now and am frustrated that it crashes flightplan go every 5 min. when I turn on the ADS-B in . I cant tell if its the iPad, Skysensor or flightplan go which is causing the problem. I suspect that if you are not flying in the US, the ADS-B data in signal for non aircraft data is weak or non existent and causes something to fail. Seems to work fine when I fly near the US border. I have contacted uAvionix and Flightplan go, but have not been able to get the traffic display to work for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Seems like a great product for use with most portable GPS units, iPads or Android devices using WiFi ADS-B IN data information. My question is, would the WiFi signal to the cockpit be substantially hampered when installed on a low wing aircraft with aluminum wings because the units antenna is facing downward with the wing potentially blocking the signal to the cockpit, where high wing aircraft have a more line-of-sight WiFi signal to the cockpit? In any case, the skySensor does seem like a nice match to the UAvionix sky Beacon.

Great concept! Didn’t want the fuss of a portable battery powered unit. The problem is is have droop wingtips and the Skysensor antenna doesn’t allow a fit (not even with their adaptor).

In general this unit works good. I get weather and traffic on my android tablet and phone using Avare software. However, at random times the wifi just shuts off. Of course, this happens at the most inopportune times. Turning power off and then on to the Skysenor starts the unit working again. VERY frustrating.
