Details.
Navia Sense is where the Navia system measures the air. This is the version for a powered aircraft: calibrated pressure sensors for airspeed to 250 kt and altitude, an AHRS for attitude, an outside-air-temperature input, and a GNSS receiver running at 25 Hz — the highest refresh rate in its class — with SBAS correction. It is the same housing and the same connectors as every other Sense, so the installation manual is the same for all of them.
Which Sense for an aeroplane
- Sense Airplane — this unit: airspeed, altitude, AHRS, OAT, GNSS
- Sense Airplane Pro — adds an angle-of-attack pressure sensor
- Sense Airplane Pro HS — the Pro with a high-speed sensor, for aircraft to 500 kt
The standard sensors are 0–100 mbar differential, exceptionally accurate up to 250 kt; the HS exists because faster aircraft exceed what they can measure.
Redundant by design
Paired with the Core Pro, the Sense gives the system its own air data and its own position, so a failure elsewhere does not take the flight instruments with it. Optional field pressure calibration keeps the readings honest over the years.
In the box
The Sense unit, its GNSS antenna, and the OAT sensor with crimped pins ready for the J300 connector set. The Sense wires to a serial port on the Core Pro; the J300 connector set is the mating half.
In the airframe
- 22 × 104 × 101 mm, 138 g
- 5 V, 0.8 W
- Two M2 threaded holes each side
- DO-160 qualified: −20 to +55 °C operating
For gliders, the Sense Gliding versions add the TE probe port and the IGC flight recorder.
Fly Navia before it reaches your panel.
The glider build of Navia OS runs in your browser — on a laptop at home or on a tablet at the airfield. Plan a task, move the widgets where you want them, set up your pilot profiles. Sign in with your LX Cloud account and none of it is throwaway: Navia carries a built-in worldwide eSIM, so everything you prepared on the ground is waiting for you in the cockpit the next time the instrument connects.

Questions pilots ask.
Which Sense for my aeroplane?
Sense Airplane for airspeed, altitude, AHRS, OAT and GNSS; Sense Airplane Pro adds an angle-of-attack pressure sensor; Sense Airplane Pro HS is the Pro with a high-speed sensor for aircraft up to 500 kt.
How does it connect?
To a serial port of the Navia Core Pro; the J300 connector set is the counterpart. The pressure lines connect to M5 ports — the M5 to 6 mm push-in adapter fits standard aircraft tubing.
