Dynon EFIS-D6
Filser Propeller control for microlights and ultralights

Because some like to keep it simple, Dynon offers this basic, even more affordable Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS). Perfect for pilots who want to save panel weight, space, and installation time compared to a conventional analogue gauges.

The EFIS-D6 fits into a standard 3-1/8" panel hole, making it an ideal candidate for replacing vacuum and electric attitude indicators.

Key safety features include Dynon's optional Angle-of Attack/ Pitot design that alerts pilots of potential stall conditions and an optional Li-ion backup battery which will keep the instrument running for 2 hours in the event of a power bus failure.

Advanced ADAHRS

Dynon's advanced ADAHRS (Air Data, Attitude and Heading Reference System) integrates over a dozen solid-state sensors that deliver exceptional performance and reliability. With the exception of the remote compass, the ADAHRS is built inside the EFIS-D6 instrument housing, saving installation time and space. Each ADAHRS undergoes a rigorous calibration regime at the factory to ensure accuracy over its full operating range. Unlike mechanical gyros, Dynon's rugged design is tolerant to aggressive flight manoeuvres, automatically corrects itself anytime its gyros' capabilities are exceeded and cannot be damaged by aerobatics or unusual attitudes.

Reliable Operation

Dynon's EFIS-D6 utilizes an embedded, multi-processor design that delivers real-time performance and stability. This purpose-built design is unencumbered by burdensome operating systems that typically slow down performance and require long boot times. Dynon's software design enables complete control to maximize execution speed and deliver robust reliability. A hallmark of the EFIS-D6's performance and a great safety feature is its ability to display the correct attitude within a few seconds of being powered on while in flight.

Safety Features

A key safety feature available from Dynon is its optional AOA/Pitot design that combines Angle-of Attack (AOA) and Airspeed into a single pitot design. The AOA capability assists pilots on approaches and generates an alert signal for audible annunciation whenever nearing stall conditions. This pitot is available in heated and non-heated versions.

To guard against a power failure scenario, the EFIS-D6 may be optionally equipped with a Li-Ion Backup Battery ( £95.00 plus VAT). When power loss is detected, the instrument will automatically notify the pilot and immediately begin running on battery power for a minimum of 2 hours to enable a safe landing.

Items supplied with each EFIS-D6 include:
· EFIS-D6 Instrument
· Remote Compass
· Installation Guide (download here)
· Pilot User Manual (download here)

Multi-function Attitude/Turn and Slip Display
MGL Avionics

MGL avionics is a South African avionics development company with a wide range of flight systems from colour EFIS to digital engine instruments and, because the South African Rand has not changed greatly against the £ in recent months, its products remain affordable.
Try the AV1 and SP4 package – just one 57mm panel cut out for an instrument giving you an attitude indicator and a turn and slip with option of adding a compass module. (SP 4 attitude sensor box shown alongside the AV-1 display unit).

Order Code: AV1 + SP4

FUEL CONTROL (for microlights; not TSO or EASA approved) Funkwerk-avionics
Filser Fuel Control for microlights and ultralights

The Funkwerk-avionics designed and developed FuelConC is both a Fuel Flow sensor and a computer that gives consumption rate and the quantity of fuel remaining. It features double verification of the tank indicator through the calibrated fill level transmitter and the volumetric flow rate sensor. It displays consumption in both litres per hour and litres per 100 Km. Add an external GPS sensor and the effect of the wind can then be assessed and the optimum power setting for maximum range calculated. A further feature is the ability to derive the effective tank measurement of the fill level transmitter whereby a single calibration procedure can compensate for all non-linearity in both the shape of the tank and the transmitter.

Principal features

  • 57 mm panel cut-out
  • 80 mm long
  • Two line LCD to show fuel flow and remaining fuel
  • Easy to use
  • Insensitive to fuel slosh in the tank
  • Power consumption approx 50 mA
  • Voltage 10 - 35 VDC
  • Accuracy: approx 3%
  • Weight: approx 200 g

Price: £286.00 excl VAT; £336.05 incl VAT
Order Code: FUELCONC

 

PROPELLOR CONTROL (for microlights - not TSO or EASA approved) Funkwerk-avionics
Filser Propeller control for microlights and ultralights

The PropCon 1 is a controller for electrically actuated constant speed propellers. Small and light it offers a practical and proven solution to the effective monitoring and control of RPM.

 

 

 

Its design highlights are:

  • 57 mm panel cut-out
  • 60 mm long § Weight approx 200 g
  • Two line LCD showing intended RPM and actual RPM
  • Operates with most electrically actuated propellers
  • Accuracy approx 1.5%
  • Tolerance approx + / - 100 RPM
  • Power source 10.5 to 16 volt

(When in Auto Mode the electronic control is inoperative and manual adjustment of the RPM is then no longer possible)
