While at the AEA Southern Regional Convention 2014, ANN CEO and Editor-In-Chief, Jim Campbell, went in search to find a solution for a key aviation concern.
That concern is: where can you plug in a USB charger in your aircraft? It seems in this modern day of aviation that finding a place to keep your PED charged is almost as important as flying the aircraft.
Jim’s quest brought him to Tim Fidler, the Mid-Continent Instruments Eastern Regional sales representative. Mid-Continent Instruments already has a USB charger system designed for aircraft, but they have now innovated an additional use for the panel-mounted clock. Their new system is a digital clock that also includes 2 USB charger ports.
The clock has all the features a pilot would expect for instrument operations and is an easy replacement for the existing clock. In this video you’ll see a common sense solution for keeping the new world of PEDs up and running…and you’ll know what time it is.
