Now Being Installed In Seminole County's New AS350
Sagem Avionics Inc. tells ANN the Seminole County Sheriff's
Office, based at Orlando Sanford International Airport in Sanford,
FL recently selected the Sagem Integrated Cockpit Display System
(ICDS) for their Eurocopter AS350 B3.
The aircraft will be equipped with a single (ICDS-8) Primary
Flight Display (PFD) using a Sagem Avionics active matrix Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) as a Primary Flight Display (PFD) screen.
Flight information including attitude, altitude, vertical speed,
and airspeed is immediately available on the SAGEM display reducing
the scan and fatigue required for checking instrumentation. Heading
information is displayed on a 360 degree Heading Situation
Indicator (HSI) with a navigation overlay.
Seminole County Sheriff's Office Lt. Jerry Human and Chief Pilot
Steve Farris took delivery of the new AS350 B3 recently, at the
American Eurocopter facility in Grand Prairie, TX. The Sagem
cockpit displays will be installed during the aircraft completion
at Texas Aviation Services, located at Fort Worth-Meacham
Airport.
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement
services for approximately 400,000 residents covering approximately
354 square miles. The Sheriff's Aviation Unit provides air support
for seven municipalities within Seminole County.
"We are looking forward to the Sagem display integration into
our cockpit," said Farris. The Sagem Cockpit will bring our law
enforcement aircraft to the standard found in most corporate and
airline aircraft and provides reliable and user friendly flight
data for the aircrews."
