AirStar 99.5 features top guidance features, such as marking a return point, data logging, and multiple waypoints with an economical 4-line text display.

The Satloc AirStar 99.5 is an aerial guidance system that improves spraying efficiency for aerial applicators by improving their ability to fly precise patterns while making proper field applications. The AirStar 99.5 is a lower-cost version of the Satloc AirStar M3 system, employing a text display rather than the M3's graphic moving map display.

The 99.5 is comprised of several key Satloc components including:

• 99.5 computer, keypad, and 4-line text display
• AirStar guidance software
• MapStar planning and analysis software (optional)
• SLXg3 DGPS receiver
• Exterior lightbar
• Flow control (optional)

How It Works
Using GPS data from the receiver and simple commands you input using a keypad, the lightbar provides highly accurate guidance, allowing you to create consistently spaced rows and to match the shape of any field. The text display provides additional job status information that you choose, such as your current pattern, swath status, sprayed area, and speed.

Features & Benefits

• Flexible swath guidance - AirStar 99.5 comes pre-programmed with six standard spray patterns to match the most common patterns aerial pilots fly when spraying their fields. Define the shape of any area you wish to fly and receive guidance.
• Marks and waypoints - set navigation marks and waypoints and navigate back to those points (AirStar automatically sets a mark at your last sprayed point by default, allowing you to quickly pick up work where you left off).
• Real-time area computation - automatically calculate the sprayed area/total field area, taking into account hazards such as bodies of water.
• Data logging - logs allow you to track time and date, position at each logging interval, altitude and heading, wind speed and direction, GPS information, mark locations, flow rate, and more. You can then replay your logs to review your application work on the display screen or to print graphical reports of areas sprayed and chemical amounts applied using Satloc’s optional MapStar software.
• GIS file support - upload GIS shape files and plan missions from ESRI Shape, DXF, and MID/MIF file formats using Satloc’s optional MapStar software.
• Flow control - ensure proper, consistent flow rates with Satloc’s optional Flow Control software.
