Also Available For Aftermarket Installation
The folks at Mid-Continent
Instruments tell ANN the Wichita, KS-based avionics manufacturer
recently partnered with Robinson Helicopters, to
offer the 4300 Series Attitude Indicator on R22 and R44
helicopters.
"The 4300 attitude indicator was designed specifically to
survive demanding helicopter operations and high vibration
environments," said Todd Winter, President of Mid-Continent
Instruments. "We have incorporated new technology to prevent
premature wear and tear on critical parts, so that helicopter
operators can realize a better value from this product and achieve
much longer life."
The 4300 Series Attitude Indicators are designed for use as
primary or standby artificial horizon in helicopters and fixed-wing
aircraft. These dual voltage gyros offer 10-32 volt DC replacement
for use in either 14 or 28 volt helicopters, have anti-reflective
glass to enhance visibility and reduce pilot fatigue, and they
outlast the nearest competition with a service life that's more
than double the life of most electric gyros.
Mid-Continent Instruments also makes units available for
aftermarket installations. In many cases, the 4300 is a drop in
replacement for older units. The 4300 Series Electric Attitude
Indicators were originally designed as standby units for the
aftermarket, but their design has been so popular that 10 OEMs are
using them as standard equipment.
"We are very excited Robinson acknowledged our high quality
product and allowed us this opportunity," said Matt Fowle, Western
Region Manager. "We believe this will be a beneficial relationship
for both of us and we look forward to proving them with great
support."
