AX1 Comes From Italy's Axitude
Mid-Continent Instruments has spent
years examining Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) and
solid-state digital technology. Monday at NBAA 2008, Mid-Continent
introduced an ETSO certified AHRS, the AX1.
Versatile in design, the AX1 proves navigation system retrofits
are both feasible and affordable. It allows aircraft owners to
select the Primary Flight Display (PFD) that meets their individual
preferences or requirements, while the AX1 provides critical
attitude and navigational output.
"We are thrilled to finally offer an AHRS that meets our high
standards of reliability," said Todd Winter, President of
Mid-Continent Instruments. "State of the art engineering and
advanced testing prove that this product can meet some of the most
demanding general aviation customer requirements for both fixed
wing and rotorcraft applications."
The AX1 provides primary and/or redundant attitude heading
reference to glass panel retrofit installations. It utilizes
enhanced performance Kalman Filter algorithms, high stability MEMS
technology, integrity monitoring and performance unaffected by high
vibration environments. The AX1 is dependable and value priced for
general aviation aircraft.
It has ETSO approval and is certified to RTCA (DO-178B, -160D,
-254) and TSO (C4c and C6d) approvals. Bilateral FAA TSO approval
is pending.
Mid-Continent Instruments is the exclusive United States
distributor for the AX1 AHRS, manufactured by Axitude, an avionics
design and manufacturing company based in Naples, Italy. Future
availability of the AX2 model, an ARINC 429 compatible product
featuring a remote flux valve, is expected in 2009.
