WXStar has three independent output paths that all run simultaneously. You can use any combination - pick the scenario below that fits your cockpit, or use all three at once.

1 - On your panel avionics (FIS-B)

Your aircraft already has a FIS-B-capable ADS-B receiver or transponder (GTX345, GDL88, Dynon SV-ADSB-472, Lynx NGT-9000, …). WXStar transmits weather data via the FIS-B interface. Your avionics pick it up automatically - no app, no cable, no configuration.

2 - On your iPad or phone (ForeFlight, SkyDemon, Garmin Pilot)

WXStar broadcasts GDL90 on the Starlink Mini WiFi. Connect your device to that WiFi and your EFB app receives weather seamlessly. With an aviation Starlink plan this works out of the box. With a cheaper Standby or Travel plan, the free WXStar iOS app fills any GDL90 gaps caused by the switching feature so your EFB display stays smooth.

3 - Via a cable into your Avidyne

WXStar outputs RS232 (GDL90/Cabstone) from its 4-pin connector. This is the standard path for Avidyne IFD440/540 and EX5000 installations. Installation requires an avionics engineer. Runs fully in parallel with the other outputs.

Not sure which applies? Many pilots use more than one path at the same time. For example, FIS-B to a panel GTX345 and GDL90 WiFi to a ForeFlight iPad simultaneously.
