uAvionix and ForeFlight Celebrate Shipment of 100,000 Sentry ADS-B Receivers
In a significant achievement for general aviation safety technology, uAvionix and Jeppesen ForeFlight have proudly announced the shipment of over 100,000 ForeFlight Sentry-Family ADS-B receivers globally. This accomplishment solidifies the Sentry’s reputation as the top-selling portable ADS-B receiver family worldwide.
The landmark was announced on October 15, 2026. It signifies years of successful collaboration between ForeFlight’s top-tier flight application and uAvionix’s proficiency in aviation electronics and manufacturing. The Sentry family offers real-time traffic alerts, subscription-free ADS-B weather, GPS positioning, backup attitude information (AHRS), and — a unique feature among portable receivers — an integrated carbon monoxide detection and alarm system.
“Reaching the 100,000 Sentry receivers mark is a remarkable manufacturing milestone. However, what truly gives it significance are the stories behind those units,” stated Shane Woodson, VP of Crewed Aviation at uAvionix. Representatives from both companies highlighted that the real victory lies in the enhancement of in-cockpit situational awareness. Pilots have reported that Sentry’s backup attitude capability has proven to be a vital safety net during vacuum pump failures and other avionics issues.
The Sentry family caters to a broad spectrum of aircraft, ranging from small single-engine trainers to larger corporate jets. It integrates flawlessly with the ForeFlight Mobile app. With over 100,000 units now representing millions of supported flight hours, this announcement underlines a growing commitment to affordable, portable safety technology within the GA community.
