Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics has announced the company's SAM MD302 Standby Attitude Module, is STC approved on Falcon 900 A/B/C/EX Series for FAA, EASA and AFAC (Mexico) registered aircraft.

The 2-inch, solid-state instrument displays attitude, altitude, airspeed, slip, vertical trend and heading information to the pilot during normal or standby operation in the event of primary instrument failure. SAM replaces the Attitude Horizon Standby, Altimeter and Standby Mach Airspeed Indicator onboard the Falcon Jet. Alaska Air National Guardsmen assigned to the 176th Wing rescued an injured Iditarod musher March 9 from the Rohn Roadhouse about 136 miles northwest of Anchorage. Senior Master Sgt. Evan Budd, Alaska Rescue Coordination Center superintendent, said the musher sustained multiple injuries after falling while coming into the Rohn checkpoint. The AKRCC requested assistance from the 176th Wing, which dispatched a 210th Rescue Squadron HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter and a 212th Rescue Squadron Guardian Angel team. NASA astronauts Victor Glover and Michael Hopkins concluded a spacewalk after 6 hours and 47 minutes of Zero-G effort. In the fifth spacewalk of the year outside the International Space Station, the two astronauts successfully completed tasks to service the station’s cooling system and communications gear.
