Peschges Variometer Introduces New VFR Glass Cockpit Systems

Peschges Variometer GmbH, maker of general aviation avionics, will introduce its new glass cockpit systems: VP-EFIS and VP-EMS. Both are based on a ten inch transflective TFT display, which the company says provides great readability in bright sunshine, beneath dark clouds or at night.

The systems weigh less than two pounds each and Peschges says consume only about 0.7 amps each. That, says a statement from Peschges to ANN, makes it possible to upgrade general aviation as well as ultralight airplanes easily.

VP-EFIS - Electronic Flight Information System

The VP-EFIS is an electronic flight information system with an integrated GPS and a moving map, showing all current airspace restrictions. The pilot can zoom to any scale he desires or fade out items, he does not need. The screen also contains six freely configurable data fields and a permanent display of airspeed, altitude, rate of climb or descent, course, track, heading and naviagtion items, such as the next waypoint and the nearest airport.

Peschges Variometer says it developed a new type of airspace warning facilities, included in the VP-EFIS. Instead of warning the pilot about airspaces and obstacles 360 degrees around the plane, the system calculates the airspace warning with the actual heading and altitude of the airplane. The pilot only sees the airspace or obstacles in his direction of flight. Peschges says that makes for much better clarity. Using three-dimensionaly GPS capabilities, the system makes a differentiation based on altitude and disregards warnings if the pilot files above or beneath the affected airspace. All that, says the company statement, is fully configurable.

Due to integrated pressure sensors, the system can display airspeed and barometric altitudes, in addition to the values calculated with the GPS signal. Thus, the system can provide the pilot with wind direction and speed data.
