Company Unveils New Airspeed Indicator And Altimeter
Mid-Continent Instruments announces the TSO certification and
delivery of the MD15 two-inch altimeter and the MD25 two-inch
airspeed indicator.
MD25
"The MD15 altimeter and MD25 airspeed indicator complement our
4200 electric attitude indicator and complete the 2-inch standby
package," said Brett Williams, engineering manager for
Mid-Continent Instruments. "Their small size saves space in crowded
panels and provides either primary or standby instrumentation for
any general aviation flight deck."
The MD15 is a two-inch, three-pointer altimeter offered in
20,000-ft. and 35,000-ft. models. Options include a barometric
scale in inches of mercury or millibars and a left- or right-hand
baro set knob. The instrument is FAA TSO-C10b certified. (AON
Price: $4,149 (20K), $4,340 (35K))
MD15
The MD25 two-inch airspeed indicator is offered in multiple
ranges: 160, 200, 260, 300, 350 and 400 knots. Range markings can
be added to meet specific aircraft requirements. The instrument is
FAA TSO-C2d certified for fixed-wing or rotorcraft operation. (AON
Price: $1,637)
Both instruments have anti-reflective glass, which enhances
visibility and reduces pilot fatigue. Units have a
field-replaceable light-emitting diode (LED) or incandescent light
tray available in 5, 14 and 28 VDC. The MD25 and MD15 are typically
rear-mounted and can be installed individually or as part of a
three-unit standby package - with the 4200 attitude indicator. Tom
Genovese, Mid-Continent Instruments' director of sales, said,
"There is a growing demand for smaller standby instruments in glass
panel flight decks these days. The Mid-Continent standby package
provides the time-proven information that pilots require without
taking much panel space."
