"R44 Grand" Includes Dual Sagem Panels
Crownair Companies tells ANN it will display the Robinson R44
helicopter with an upgraded Sagem Avionics Integrated Cockpit
Display System at the Heli-Expo 2009, Static Display # 40, February
22 through 24 in Anaheim, CA.
As ANN reported last November, when the "R44
Grand" received STC approval, the glass panel solution comprises
two AMLCD 8-inch displays mounted in portrait mode. The system
integrates Primary Flight Instruments, Engine Instruments and other
Multifunction Display system functions such as enhanced vision when
linked to a camera, TOPS – Terrain Obstacle Proximity System
and many others.
The glass panel retrofit package is designed to fit into the
conventional R44 cockpit layout and weighs 10 pounds less than the
original cockpit system.
Crownair is working to establish a reputation for breathing new
life into existing airframes. Last year, Crownair unveiled the new
Crownair Centurion Edition 210, a glass-panel Cessna 210 upgraded
by Crownair from spinner to tail cone.
"We recognize the changing nature of the aviation maintenance
and avionics industry and our customer’s needs and budget,"
said Grant Murray, owner of Crownair Companies. "The R44 Grand is
an affordable option with the latest technology and comforts."
The installation results in an all new panel and pedestal unit
and can be installed on any R44 model. The installation is
available at Crownair Companies IFR Avionics location in Van Nuys,
CA.
