AirGator Inc. Announces Release of NAVPad5X and 7X

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 14, 2009 – AirGator, the leading provider of portable aviation electronics and EFBs, is proud to introduce the latest additions to the popular NAVPad family of electronic flight bags (EFBs).   The NAVPad 5X and 7X utilize the newest high performance, low power consumption Intel ATOM processor at speeds up to 1.3GHz - up to three times faster than the previous generation of NAVPads - with 5 - 8 hour battery life and lower power consumption.  These compact units come in the standard configuration with 1GB RAM and 16 GB solid state storage.  A built in WAAS-capable GPS, Bluetooth and 802.11N wireless capability are standard also.  3G broadband wireless is optional, as is a 32 GB solid state drive.     “The NAVPad 5X and 7X are well suited to small cockpits,” said Amir Tirosh, President of AirGator.  “The new generation of NAVPads is engineered meet the requirements of demanding flight regimes, from props to jets, in a compact form factor.”  
The high resolution (1024 x 600), daylight readable touch screens provide the ultimate platform for NAVAir Approaches 3D, the approaches viewer with unsurpassed situational awareness.  NAVAir Approaches 3D is the only approaches viewer showing own-ship position on the plan view, vertical profile and airport diagram on FAA NACO instrument approach procedures.  The NAVPad 5X’s 4.8” screen and the NAVPad 7X’s 7” screen provide clear, readable approach plates even at full page display.  And at 1 and 1.5 pounds respectively, these convenient units go with pilots anywhere.
The NAVPad 5X & 7X are the perfect upgrade from PDAs and hand-held GPS navigators currently being used in many general aviation cockpits, as well as acting as full-function Class I and II commercial EFBs in tight turboprop and jet cockpits.
NAVPad X EFBs run Windows compatible programs including work with both FAA and Jeppesen data and available software includes NAVAirEFB and Approaches3D as well as JeppView and FliteDeck and can be custom configured with additional cockpit productivity software including electronic logs, manuals, weight & balance and performance calculators, dispatch communications applications, email and more.
A base configuration for the NAVPad 5X with Approaches 3D starts at $850.   The NAVPad 7X starts at $945. Full NAVAirEFB bundles with XMWX Receivers start at $1950.
AirGator’s complete NAVPad X line of aviation grade Electronic Flight Bags will be on display at the National Business Aircraft Association (NBAA) Conference in Orlando, Florida October 20 – 21 and at the A/TA Air Mobility Convention in Nashville, TN 29 October – 1 November.
