AvTraffic Partnership

Special offer for RAAus Members

RAAus has partnered with AeroSense Australia — makers of the AvTraffic™ traffic awareness app for iPhone and iPad — to offer all Flying, Junior Flying and Non-Flying members a FREE 4-month AvTraffic™ Premium trial (normally 1 month).

In today’s increasingly busy airspace, AvTraffic is a powerful, practical safety tool for pilots. Designed to operate either as a standalone app or alongside your preferred EFB—such as AvPlan and OzRunways – AvTraffic enhances traffic awareness by monitoring and alerting using multiple data sources, including:

  • ADS-B traffic from your ADS-B IN or electronic conspicuity device (e.g. SkyEcho2)
  • ADS-B and Mode S traffic via ADS-B Exchange’s network of 10,000+ ground receivers
  • Other AvTraffic users
  • FLARM-equipped aircraft (including most gliders)

AvTraffic provides both visual and audible alerts and integrates seamlessly with your existing EFB map display. Its key advantage? It shows traffic even from pilots who aren’t using the same EFB platform as you. You can also route audible alerts directly to your Bluetooth headset—delivering superior situational awareness in busy airspace while keeping your eyes outside the cockpit.

Here’s some FAQs regarding AvTraffic and the member offer:

Who can take up this offer and how?

By now all current Flying, Junior and Non Flying members would have received an opt-in email with this offer. Moving forward only NEW Flying, Junior and Non Flying members will receive this opt-in email offer.

I am already an AvTraffic premium subscriber via the Apple App Store. Can I get the offer?

No. Unfortunately, the offer is only for members commencing a new subscription.

AvTraffic is a free app that works without a premium subscription. What’s the benefit of a premium subscription?

If you run AvTraffic without a premium subscription, you will still get the native AvTraffic application to run on your iPhone/iPad. You’ll see traffic from all the same sources including from pilots using other brands of EFB to you and they will see you if running the free version of AvTraffic with their EFB. Premium gets you EFB auto-start, AvTraffic integrated traffic feed into your EFB’s map display, audible traffic annunciations and access to 6 months recording of your flight history.

Where can I find AvTraffic training materials and updates?

There is an AvTraffic website and Facebook page as well as in-app access to Help & Getting Started.

I have an Android phone and tablet. Is there an android version available?

AeroSense Australia is developing an Android version of AvTraffic which is targeted to be made available to members under the same terms of offer later this year.

Where can I get AvTraffic?

You can download AvTraffic from the Apple App Store here.
