THE PRODUCT PHILOSOPHY
Built around what pilots actually need.
IFT-01 concentrates on the useful receive-and-display path: simultaneous dual-band ADS-B traffic, available FIS-B weather, built-in GPS and a familiar GDL 90 connection to the screens pilots already carry.
No internal battery, AHRS or proprietary IFT app is added merely to lengthen a feature list. IFT-01 remains supplemental situational-awareness equipment, with honest limits and simple operation.
READ OUR APPROACH →SIMPLE DATA PATH
Receiver to cockpit display.
No cellular connection or Internet service is required for IFT-01 to deliver receiver data.

Two simultaneous EFB devices demonstrated: Avare and iFly operated from the same IFT-01 at the same time, each displaying IFT-01-derived ownship and traffic information. No maximum device count is claimed.
BUILT AROUND THE ESSENTIALS
A simpler receiver for real-world flying.
Core receiver operation has been physically demonstrated. Enclosure and production qualification remain in progress.
Weather in flight
FIS-B ground-station reception demonstrated. Additional weather-product validation is ongoing; coverage depends on altitude, terrain, line of sight and location.
Built-in GPS
Outdoor 3D fix, continuous moving operation and EFB ownship delivery have been demonstrated.
Familiar data path
Traffic and GPS delivery over IFT-01 Wi-Fi has been demonstrated with Avare and iFly.
External power
No internal battery. Plug in, use and unplug when finished—no customer shutdown command required.
Simultaneous displays
Two compatible EFB devices have operated from the same IFT-01 simultaneously. No maximum device count is claimed.

Not every pilot needs the same box.
Higher-priced receivers add batteries, attitude sensors, carbon-monoxide monitoring, proprietary features or displays. IFT-01 is deliberately aimed at the essential receive-and-display job.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Straight answers, including “not yet.”
Is IFT-01 available to order?+
Not yet. IFT-01 remains in enclosure and production-validation development. The $349 target price, final specifications and availability will be confirmed before orders open.
Does it require a subscription or proprietary app?+
No receiver subscription or proprietary IFT app is required. Your chosen EFB may require its own subscription.
How do I connect?+
Plug in IFT-01, connect your phone or tablet to Wi-Fi “IFT-01,” open a compatible EFB, confirm the receiver connection and fly. Unplug IFT-01 when finished. The optional status page is ift01.local; use 192.168.10.1 as the troubleshooting fallback.
Why might GPS, 978 or Weather show Waiting?+
GPS / No Fix can be normal indoors or without a clear sky view. 978 / Waiting can mean no current 978 messages. Weather / Waiting for FIS-B means no usable ground station or product is being received.
Which apps work?+
Avare and iFly are validated for actual IFT-01 connection, built-in GPS ownship delivery and ADS-B traffic display. Both also operated simultaneously from the same IFT-01. Other named EFBs remain at their existing validation status; see Compatibility for the current matrix.
Does it have a battery, AHRS or shutdown procedure?+
No. IFT-01 uses external USB-C power, has no internal battery or AHRS, and can be unplugged when finished.
What affects reception range?+
Aircraft altitude, antenna placement, terrain, obstructions, RF conditions and location. IFT-01 does not advertise a guaranteed reception radius.
