LX avionics Ltd

Gebr Winter Gmbh manufactures a wide range of airspeed indicators with a variety of speed ranges and dial configurations available, 80mm and 57 mm. An EASA Form 1 is supplied with each. The most popular version, illustrated, is 80 mm and indicates up to 160 kts and has 1 and ½ revolutions. The 80mm versions have individual knots marked up to 80. Zero is at the bottom of the dial although other layouts are available.

Colour marking can be carried out during manufacture and reflected on the EASA Form 1 issued; alternatively it can be retrofitted in the UK but in this instance the EASA Form 1 will not refer to any colour marking having been done. Colour marking prices shown below. Mounting screws are included.

57mm airspeed indicator with a single revolution and colour marked for a CTSW. Same specification as the 80mm version shown above.(57mm airspeed indicators with one and a half turns are also available and prices are the same as for the 80mm example above). (price based on 275 euros)

These slip indicators come in 2 sizes as shown. The larger one (Type 1) fits in a standard 57mm panel cut-out and from behind the panel and the screw holes match the standard holes for a 57mm instrument. The smaller rectangular one (Type 2) is designed for a rectangular cut out, hole spacing is 57mm. Mounting screws are not included. (Price based on 42 euros.)

Gebr Winter GmbH manufactures altimeters with metric displays or imperial. An EASA Form 1 is issued with each instrument. LX avionics stocks only imperial versions that typically have a conventional display with one turn per 1,000ft, a millibar sub-scale and a calibration up to 20,000ft. (The instruments will operate higher but the accuracy is not certified above 20,000ft).

A single needle 57mm diameter altimeter in feet and millibars, not certified for EASA/CAA administered aircraft/glider use and therefore supplied without an EASA Form 1. (List price is 210 euros)

Gebr Winter variometers are standard fitment in many glider cockpits and LX avionics stocks the 57mm and 80mm versions with dials marked for plus or minus 10 knots. Other versions are available to order.

Capacity flask (0.45l) with heat sink is included.

A MacCready ring option is available to order and can be supplied with the relevant speeds engraved to customer order. Mounting screws included with all instruments.

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. It can be panel or coaming mounted and requires a 57 mm panel cut-out. Non magnetic mounting nuts and bolts included. (priced based on 140 euros)

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 based on 160 euros)

This 5-way pipe connector is designed primarily for use in gliders where easy removal of the instrument panel is often an important feature of the installation. It is high quality, has a good sealing arrangement and is lockable to prevent it coming undone in use. (Price based on 30 euros)
