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

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

kts and has 1 and ½ revolutions. The 80mm versions have individual

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

Compass
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

| 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

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 :£22.00 excl VAT; £25.85 including VAT
