Classic Aero-TV: MGL Avionics -- Glass Panel Capability on a Budget

'Proof-Positive' That Sport Aviation Glass Panel Avionics Don't Have To Be A Budget-Buster

As ANN and Aero-TV undertakes its Annual LIVE PROGRAMMING from the floor of the 54th Annual AEA Convention and Tradeshow, we figured this was as good an excuse as any to show you some of the things that got us excited last year in order to get you ready for EVEN MORE EXCITING things this year! We can't tell you much... YET... but this year's AEA Convention WILL BE one of the most newsworthy on record... and if you'll join today, LIVE on Wednesday, at 0930 (PT) or 1230 (ET), we'll be sure to show you what all the fuss is about... as ONLY ANN can.

Not one of the best-known names in the business, MGL has been puttering away for a decade and gotten high-marks form a customer base that I know to be pretty fussy when it comes to avionics. According to the company, MGL Avionics have shipped tens of thousands of instruments worldwide since 2001. These folks do it all... glass panel displays, engine gauges, single gauges, cluster gauges, auto-pilot components, systems instruments... the works.

Their latest innovation includes the release of their Generation 2 EFIS systems -- which MGL notes, "takes situational awareness and flexibility to a new level, providing a reliable, safe solution for all your instrumentation needs. It is a PFD, an MFD, an engine monitor, a fuel computer, a GPS navigator, an autopilot and an interface/display device for a multitude of other devices. And it provides all of this for a very good price."

Their current EFIS offerings (named Enigma, Voyager and Odyssey) start at smaller 5.7" display systems all the way to 10.4" monsters. And by the way... you really need to look at their mini-EFIS line... the XTreme mini EFIS is pretty impressive for such a small gauge... though it looks like it can fit just about anywhere.

Join ANN and Aero-TV as we take a tour of MGL Avionics and let the brakes cool off on our rental car... Enjoy!
