Meggitt/S-TEC Obtains Magic EFIS, EIDS, Digital Flight Control STC

Applies To Cessna 425 Turboprops

Meggitt/S-TEC says the FAA has approved an STC for the installation of the MAGIC Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) and MAGIC Engine Instrument Display System (EIDS) combined with a MAGIC 2100 Digital Flight Control System (DFCS) on Cessna 425 turboprop aircraft.

The company says EFIS and EIDS installation gives pilots a functional, digital, electronic instrument panel that offers the highest cockpit technology for twin turboprop operators. The EFIS and EIDS are contained in a set of LCD flat-panel displays that are only 4.5 inches high and 5.6 inches wide. They provide a high-definition presentation that is easily readable in all light conditions and that greatly reduces pilot workload.

The MAGIC 2100 DFCS is a three axis, fully digital, attitude-based Flight Control System that brings jet functionality to the twin turboprop market. The clear, easily understood LCD display with both an Integrated Altitude Pre-Selector and Indicated Airspeed Hold function offers excellent flight control in all conditions. And with Cockpit Voice Annunciation and active and armed modes displayed, better situational awareness is attained.

Meggitt/S-TEC says this STC approval is a continuation of its long-term strategy to provide glass cockpit technology for the twin turboprop aftermarket. If you're hot to get one, the company is hot to sell it to you. Meggitt says production units for the Cessna 425 are being taken right now through the Meggitt Authorized Dealer network.
