Small but Important--TSO Granted For New 2-Inch Airspeed Indicator And Altimeter

Mid-Continent Instruments MD15, MD25 Ready To Fly

The FAA has granted TSO certification to Mid-Continent Instruments for their MD15 two-inch altimeter and the MD25 two-inch airspeed indicator. The company said Tuesday they are available immediately.


MD15 Altimeter

 "The MD15 altimeter and MD25 airspeed indicator complement our 4200 electric attitude indicator and complete the 2-inch standby package," said Brett Williams, engineering manager for Mid-Continent Instruments. "Their small size saves space in crowded panels and provides either primary or standby instrumentation for any general aviation flight deck." 
 
The MD15 is a two-inch, three-pointer altimeter offered in a 20,000-ft. model, with a 35,000-ft. model to follow. Options include a barometric scale in inches of mercury or millibars and a left- or right-hand baro set knob. The instrument is FAA TSO-C10b certified.


MD25 Airspeed Indicator

The MD25 2-inch Airspeed Indicator is offered in multiple ranges: 160, 200, 260, 300, 350 and 400 knots. Range markings can be added to meet specific aircraft requirements. The instrument is FAA TSO-C2d certified for fixed-wing or rotorcraft operation.
 
Both instruments' anti-reflective glass enhances visibility and reduces pilot fatigue. Units have a field-replaceable light-emitting diode (LED) or incandescent light tray available in 5, 14 and 28 VDC. The MD25 and MD15 are typically rear-mounted and can be installed individually or as part of a three-unit standby package - with the 4200 attitude indicator.
 
"There is a growing demand for smaller standby instruments in glass panel flight decks these days," said Tom Genovese, Mid-Continent Instruments' director of sales. "The Mid-Continent standby package provides the time-proven information that pilots require without taking much panel space."
