1.1 Introduction
ATD-57 is a Cockpit Display of Trac information (CDTI) displaying trac data from
connected collision avoidance systems or trac receivers. Multiple ATD-57 can be used in a
single aircraft. The small outline and multifunctional software of the device allow for better
system integration in space constrained environments. The pilot-centered user interface
aims at reducing crew workload, increasing crew eciency and improving ight safety.
ATD-57 displays trac data from TRX, FLARM, PowerFLARM, ZAON, or ADS-B trac receivers.
Comprehensive position and danger-level information on dangerous trac is given.
Optionally, soaring-tactical informations are displayed. ATD-57 is certied as ‘‘FLARM
compatible’’ in the category ‘‘Standalone Display’’.
ATD-57 features a sunlight readable TFT display with two inch screen diameter, eld
updateable software, and an integrated FLARMNet Database that can be updated using
a mass storage device (microSD card). ATD-57 emits aural alerts through an integrated
warning sounder.

1.2.5 Discrete Switches
Physical toggle-switches can be connected during installation. A switch can be used to
suppress all warnings. In one position (switch soruce exercised, GND), all warnings are
switched o, in the other position ATD-57 operates normally.
A switch can also be used to change the trac-display orientation from ‘‘track-up’’ to ‘‘north
up’’. If the switch source is exercised (GND), the orientation will be ‘‘north up’’.
1.3 microSD Card Slot
A microSD card slot is located on the right side of the unit’s front panel. A microSD memory
card can be inserted and removed from the device.
