Sikorsky has selected
L-3 Avionics' Electronic Standby Instrument System (ESIS) Model
GH-3100 to install aboard a custom outfitted Sikorsky S-92.
The S-92 is the first helicopter in the world certified by the
European Aviation Safety Agency/Joint Aviation Authorities
(EASA/JAA) to the latest and most rigorous safety standards. The
S-92 was also the first helicopter certified by the FAA to FAR Part
29 Transport Rotorcraft, Amendment 47, the latest U.S. safety
regulations, which mirror the European standards.
Designed to replace conventional electro-mechanical standby
attitude, airspeed and altitude instruments, the solid-state
GH-3100 ESIS is capable of providing all three functions, plus
heading, slip/skid, navigation data and vertical speed, in a single
three-inch flat-panel display. The GH-3100 features an integrated
air data sensor card with pitot static connections directly to the
unit eliminating the need for a remote mounted air data computer.
An Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) provides
exceptional readability in direct sunlight as well as dark cockpit
environments. The GH-3100 is the only standby system available that
can be customized to visually match an aircraft’s primary
flight display system, which provides an additional measure of
safety when transitioning from primary to standby
instrumentation.
L-3 Avionics Systems provides a wide array of avionics safety
technologies, such as the GH-3000 electronic and J.E.T. standby
instruments, SkyWatch traffic alert collision avoidance systems
(TCAS), Landmark terrain awareness warning systems (TAWS) and
Stormscope weather mapping systems.
