Rotary Wing Market New Business For The Company
The EFI-890R Flat Panel Display System Universal Avionics
Systems Corporation was recently tested and successfully qualified
for several helicopter-specific vibration profiles covering 13
known models. The company says this signifies a new installation
platform for the product. The high-vibration environment in which
rotorcraft operate presents a unique challenge to avionics
manufacturers. Equipment proven rugged enough for installation in
helicopters must meet RTCA/DO-160F standards, in particular,
testing for vibration levels far exceeding those for fixed-wing
aircraft.
Universal Avionics Helo Panel
Under RTCA DO-160E, "Environmental Conditions and Test
Procedures for Airborne Equipment" specific vibration testing
profiles for rotorcraft are required above and beyond those for
fixed-wing aircraft. Universal Avionics EFI-890R was successfully
tested to this standard, therefore allowing installation and
certification of the unit in the high-vibration environment of
rotorcraft platforms.
The EFI-890R may now be installed and approved on the following
helicopters models: Sikorsky S-76A, S-76C, S-61L, S-61N, Bell 212,
412, 412EP, 412CF, Eurocopter EC-155, Dauphin N1, N3 and AS-332.
The DO-160E vibration testing requirements includes rigorous
vibration profile testing, including Sine-on-Random tests. The
sequence of testing is difficult to attain and requires robust
hardware developed and tested specifically for high-vibration
environments.
Integrated flat panel displays offer significant improvement in
situational awareness and safety that is essential for the unique
operational requirements of rotary wing aircraft. Universal's
EFI-890R offers flexibility for installation as a stand-alone
EFI-890R PFD (Primary Flight and Navigational Display), MFD
(Multi-Function Display) and fully integrated cockpit systems.
