LX 57 mm units

Each LX 57 mm unit consists of a mechanical needle driven by stepper motor, a sunshine readable colour display and the electronics. The units are LX Bus connectable and that means no pneumatic inlets even for IAS and Altimeter. All necessary data is sent via bus and every unit filters out its individual data set. This makes wiring extremely simple and reliable. Every unit has on its back three connectors, all three are LX bus compatible and this makes possible to use so called "daisy chain" solution.

Each instrument priced the same at £199 excl VAT: £238.80 incl VAT

LX Navigation COMBI

The unit has built in sensor for IAS and a precise digital altitude sensor for altitude and variometer. The display is a combination of a sunshine readable colour graphic display and a mechanical need le driven by a stepper motor. Input of QNH is realized after using of an external rotary switch. BUILT IN POWER SUPPLY

The unit receives its power from the aircraft main battery during normal operation. After a main power break emergency power will automatically take over and power the unit and the change over from main to emergency power is without power break. After emergency power is on and air speed is detected the unit will receive power from emergency battery until it is exhausted after about 2 hours. If no speed signal is detected this is interpreted by the system as meaning that the aircraft is on the ground and the emergency power will be switched off. This automatic operation is to relieve the pilot of any need to manage the system.

An intelligent charger recharges the battery during normal operation in flight so the unit is always kept topped up.

FUEL CONTROL (for microlights; not TSO or EASA approved) Funkwerk-avionics

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

LX 707 GPS Navigation System & Flight Recorder

GPS Navigation System with very high accuracy built in Pressure Transducer, SD card interface, Approach Mode, Flight Recorder, GSM Modem Interface and with option of built in Flarm warning system and potentially the option of integrating an ADS-B proximity warning system.

General

The LX 707 is derived from the proven LX 500 system that is fitted to the fleet of Grob 115Es (Tutors) operated by the Royal Air Force as well as from the LX 7007 glider flight management system. It offers in an all-in-one package a practical point to point navigation system with a database of airfields and airspace built in but, compared to the LX 500, the LX 707 has the important addition for the General Aviation community of a high accuracy pressure transducer (as used in glider flight recorders) that enables the LX 707 to provide an airfield approach capability with both localiser and glide path information, albeit without certification, without the need for a differential GPS ground station. The addition of this separate height sensor, which can be set to QNH or QFE, moves the on-board GPS from a simple navigation assistant to one that can have real benefit for the final approach to a waypoint or airfield after the input of runway data.

Features

• 80 mm diameter
• 85mm long 125 mm total length including connectors
• Weight approx 550 g
• Power requirement: 10 – 28VDC, approx 200mA

Options include

• Remote stick top control
• Additional 57 mm display units (for system expansion)
• Second seat unit
• Voice warning module
• Interface with LX electronic compass
• GSM modem interface (enables on-line monitoring of the aircraft`s position)
• Integral Flarm collision avoidance system with built-in graphic display

MGL Stratomaster XTreme EFIS

This low cost unit is based on a 4.2" sunlight readable, wide viewing angle, high resolution LCD display. It integrates SD card reader, function buttons, rotary control, display and a 65 channel high performance GPS system (aerial supplied).

Able to connect to existing engine sensors (or add additional sensors) via an optional MGL RDAC module mounted in the engine bay. Will also connect to AHRS like SP-7 and SP-5 and compass SP-6. Without these sensors the horizon will still work by using software based GPS track derived information and the displayed heading is the GPS track.

The XTreme is designed to fit a standard 3.1/8" round instrument hole. The body is located off-centre allowing the unit to replace instruments on the right side of a standard 6-pack configuration or any other location that currently occupies two instruments.

Due to the light weight and very low mounting depth no complicated mounting brackets or trays are needed. Power use is low and operation from much less than 12V to around 28V is fully supported without further items required.

The XTreme breaks new ground in current un-certified (experimental/ permit to fly) EFIS technology as it is a universal platform and can run many different MGL application programs, much like you can do on a home computer by installing different software. This means that functionality is not fixed to what you have at the time of purchase (like a Dynon EFIS). There will be upgrades to existing application programs, and it is likely that entirely new applications, that extend the area of functionality into new regions, are possible in the future for this remarkable, highly flexible unit.

Dynon EFIS-D6

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)

(Not supplied: connector or pre-wired harness and back up battery. Available as “extras”)
