In addition, Satloc AirTrac™ will fly various patterns, such as Back-to-Back and Racetrack, store and transfer log and other data to a USB drive, track acreage sprayed and monitor application rates, and more. Satloc AirTrac™ manages the original “legacy” IntelliFlow™ and IntelliFlow 2™ (IF2) Flow control systems and IntelliFlow 3 (IF3) systems. Manage liquid applications and sprays precise patterns using constant rate control, reducing fuel, flying time, and application costs.
