Aero-TV: MGL Avionics for 2017 - The AirVenture '17 Update

Flexible Systems For Experimental And Light Sport Airplanes…

There have arguably been more advances in avionics than any other segment of aviation, many of the offerings available for experimental, amateur-built and light sort airplanes.

Matt Liknaitzky, president of MGL Avionics, told Aero-News CEO and Editor in Chief Jim Campbell that his company is continuing its focus on its iEFIS and iEFIS "Lite" products. 

The company says if just a single EFIS screen is required in your Experimental airplane, the iEFIS Lite offers everything needed. The iEFIS Lite is a stand-alone system unlike the standard iEFIS systems where you can have multiple, joined panels in a complex infrastructure.

The iEFIS is a comprehensive flight, engine, and navigation instrument designed for Experimental and Light Sport aircraft. It is the next generation EFIS system utilizing a custom developed, pressure sensitive, sunlight readable touchscreen that can also be operated using gloves. iEFIS combines the undeniable advantages of simplified operation that a touchscreen can offer with rich traditional controls that are equally indispensable in the cockpit environment. The pressure sensitive touchscreen operates much like a tactile button preventing false activation when touching the screen in turbulent conditions.

At AirVenture this year, the company introduced smaller versions of their products. For instance, the Razor is a touchscreen controller that fits in a 3 1/8 inch hole. It can be used to control the comm radios and transponder, as well as an ADS-B traffic display. That and other new products are expected to be available by the end of the year, Liknaitzky said.
