Why pilots choose Stratux

Designed to enhance awareness without binders or complex setup, the Stratux system offers a flexible, portable solution that can adapt to different aircraft and flight styles. Real-world use cases include preflight planning with weather overlays, inflight traffic awareness during climbs and descents, and quick checks of NOTAMs and METARs for in-flight decision making. The combination of ADS-B traffic data and diverse weather products helps crews balance safety, efficiency, and comfort on short trips or long cross-country flights.

Compatibility & reliability

The unit is built around a Raspberry Pi foundation and supports a broad ecosystem of EFB apps and aviation services. With the latest software and a WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, you can expect responsive position data and consistent connectivity across devices. While it does not replace certified avionics, it offers a practical, cost-conscious way to access essential weather and traffic information in many flying environments.
