Foresight 2.0 £799.00

Airbox Aerospace’s Foresight 2.0 is a feature-packed navigation system with outstanding 800 x 480 pixel five inch screen, ultra-fast processor and a user-friendly menu system designed to minimise workload in the cockpit.

Foresight 2.0 is the ultimate aviation GPS for planning and navigating VFR flights, using charts pilots will instantly recognise whilst enhancing situational awareness before and during a flight.

The Airbox enhanced user-interface makes complex route planning second nature; type in an ICAO identifier or airfield name and your destination is set, press and click the map to add airspace avoiding waypoints. The planning process really couldn’t be any simpler.

Foresight 2.0 comes with the powerful PC desktop flight-planner, Fastplan (the software can also be used on a Mac as long as emulation software such as Parallels is also installed) allowing far more complex route planning to take place from the comfort of your own home. With Fastplan, users can download the latest weather and NOTAMs, update charts the moment they’re released and make weight and balance calculations which are then conveniently compiled into a handy, printable flight pack.

Flightplans can be filed instantly using Rocket Route’s filing services backed up by a 24/7 support team (Service currently operational in Europe only)

In flight, Foresight 2.0 presents the pilot only with the information vital to their flight. And nothing more than that because Airbox believes in not over featuring its products but instead making systems that don’t confuse or baffle the aviator. We really want this to be the easiest GPS you’ve ever used!

Stored routes can be loaded from the system memory, current routes edited in-flight with ease and if the need arises, a nearest airfields option can be selected to take the edge off any situation. A complete 3D terrain database is available to give a heads-up on terrain ahead up to 20NM away from your current position. Foresight 2.0 will warn pilots of any potential airspace infringements up to five minutes ahead of the aircraft’s current position. All warnings are relative to the aircraft’s flight level and take into consideration whether the aircraft is climbing, descending or drifting towards airspace.

The data that produces the airspace updates is updated every 28 days in accordance with the AIRAC cycle and provided free by Airbox Aerospace for the life of the product.

On approach and within 10NM of your final destination, extended runway centre-lines are produced easing the pilot into a precision approach. Geo-referenced Approach plates for airfields (where available) can be quickly accessed showing detailed runway layouts, dimensions and useful information for your destination.

Foresight 2.0 logs all your flights so you have a useful record of previous activities. When synced with Fastplan, the flight data is transferred to your PC and can be viewed on the Fastplan map screen or in Google Earth.

Each unit comes with suction mount (various other mounting options are available including a panel mount and kneeboard), 12/24v power supply cable, and SD card reader (for data transfers between the Foresight 2.0 and a PC or laptop), and a copy of Fastplan PC desktop flight-planning software. UK ICAO 1:500,000 and ABX Vector charts covering the whole of Europe are installed as standard on each unit with many other global chart options available. Pilots are able to instantly cross reference their position on the GPS with the paper chart beside them.
