Gebr. Winter Gmbh & Co.KG is one of the best known instrument manufacturers in the world; established in 1931 by 3 brothers, Eugen, Heinrich and Willi Winter, the company initially developed a range of meteorological instruments and this led quickly to the design and production of a range of specialist instruments for the emerging sport of gliding. Today the Company offers a wide range of light aircraft and gliding instruments and is approved by EASA having earlier been approved under JAR 21G for production and JAR 145 for maintenance. EASA Form 1 is issued with each instrument except where stated.

LX avionics Ltd holds stock of the most popular lines, as set out below, but can supply any product from the Winter range. The most popular items are set out below.

With a requirement for certified compasses now being required for most aircraft and gliders, Gebr Winter offer the well-known Airpath C 2300 compass that is supplied with FAA paperwork.

Price: £110.00 excluding VAT; £129.25 including VAT

 

Compass - Pedastal Mount

The C 2400 is virtually the same unit as the C 2300 but is in a bullet mount designed for attachment to the instrument coaming. The bullet housing makes the complete unit slightly wider than the the C 2300 and may obstruct a pilot`s forward view if mounted immediately ahead of the pilot, such as in a glider. In this instance the cheaper C 2300 may be preferred. Non magnetic mounting nuts and bolts included.

Price: £125.00 excluding VAT; £146.87 including VAT

 

5-way Quick Connector
