IC-A25C(COM channels)

Redefining VHF Airband Communicationfrom the Ground UpNavigation Functions(for the IC-A25N)

The simplified waypoint NAV guides you to a destinationby using current position information from GPS (alsoGLONASS and SBAS). The waypoint NAV has twofunctions: Direct-To NAV and Flight Plan NAV. In
the Direct-To NAV, the IC-A25N directly guides you
to a specified waypoint. In the Flight Plan NAV,
the transceiver guides you to asequential series of waypoints. Up to
10 flight plans and 300 waypoints
can be memorized in the IC-A25N.
Position information imported froman iOS device* can be used as awaypoint.
IC-A25C* RS-AERO1I required.

Waypoint NAV screen

General Functions
Class-Leading High Power RF Output
Output power is increased to approximately 6 W typical(PEP) and 1.8 W typical (carrier) compared to the IC-A24(5/1.5 W (PEP/carrier)). This expands the communication
coverage and enhances the safety of aircraft operation.

Easy-to-Use Interface
Often used functions are
assigned to the keypad andyou can directly access adesired function. The enlarged
flat sheet keypad offers smoothand swift operation.
After pushing the [F ] key, you candirectly access a function printed
in orange on the keypad.

VOR Navigation Functions

Using the RS-AERO1I (iOS) application, you can make flightplans on an iOS device and import the plan into the IC-A25N
via Bluetooth®. The following four functions are available:
1. Create a flight plan
You can make flight plans on an iOS device by using
preprogrammed waypoints.

Built-in GPS with
Simplified Waypoint NAV

Flight Plans with iOSTM App

2. Set Direct-To NAV
You can select a point on
the map and export it to the
IC-A25N for Direct-To NAV.

VOR screen

3. Display flight plan
information
A flight plan in the IC-A25N
can be displayed on an iOS
device.
4. Display waypoint
information
Preprogrammed waypoints
can be exported to an iOS
device and plotted on anmap application.

Near Station Search Function

RS-AERO1I map screen example©2017 Google-Map data©2017 Google

2.3 inch Large High Visibility LCD
The large and high visibility LCD
provides user-friendly, graphicscreens. The night mode option
enables easy viewing in thedark. The operating frequency
in large characters can berecognized at a glance.

The CDI (Course Deviation Indicator) is detailed like a real
VOR instrument, and displays any deviation from your course.
The OBS (Omni Bearing Selector) enables you to change
course from the original flight plan.
The TO-FROM indicator shows the position
relationship between your aircraft and thecourse selected by the OBS.
The ABSS (Automatic Bearing Set System)function enables you to set the current
course as a new course in two simple steps.

The near station search function assists
you in accessing nearby ground stations.
The function searches for nearby stations
using the station memories that have GPSposition information. To use the nearstation search function, location data andfrequencies of the ground stations must
be programmed.

Near station searchfunction screenIntelligent Battery with Detailed Battery Status
The supplied BP-288, 2350 mAh (typical )intelligent battery pack, provides up to 10.5
hours* of operating time. You can check thecondition of the battery pack in the battery
status screen. It is very useful for optimum
charging and battery health maintenance.

Other Features

The IC-A25N/C stores the last 10 channels
used. You can easily recall those channels byusing the directional keys or the channelknob on the top panel. This is convenient forswitching between several channels, such as
NAV and COM channels.

Built-in Bluetooth® for Hands-Free Operation (IC-A25N)
A third-party wireless Bluetooth® headset, like a 3MTM PeltorTM
WSTM 5*, provides convenient hands-free operation. Also, byusing the optional VS-3 Bluetooth® headset, the side tone
function can be used.
* Compatibility not guaranteed.
