MGL Avionics Unveils XTreme Mini EFIS
After several years of development, MGL Avionics has rolled out
the XTreme mini EFIS ... a functional primary flight display
(PFD), engine monitor, fuel computer and basic GPS built into a
compact package. It mounts in a standard round 3 1/8" hole (offset)
and boasts a bright 4.3" diagonal sunlight readable display (the
same size and resolution as the popular Garmin aera and BendixKing
Av8or GPSs).
The XTreme can be used as a PFD or
PFD/Engine monitor, depending on the application. It can be used as
primary instrumentation or as a backup gauge to a large EFIS. The
XTreme includes a built-in GPS that is used for Ground Speed, Range
Calculations and as a backup/control to the AHRS and will soon
include a basic GPS Navigator via a free software update. Direct
To, and Basic Route navigation will be supported (no moving map).
Also, full 2-axis autopilot functionality will be included in a
free software update later this year (just add MGL Avionics CAN
Servos at $1,000 each).
The basic unit has been introduced at a
special price of $1,000, and includes the built-in GPS and antenna.
To add a full AHRS package, another $1,260 is required. Without the
attitude sensor the XTreme will still display a GPS-derived bank
angle (no pitch information), so it can be used without AHRS
sensors if necessary. If engine monitoring is required, an RDAC
(Remote Data Acquisition Computer) must be added (starting at $160)
and also a full complement of engine and fuel sensors.
A PC-based program that simulates the functions and setups of
the XTreme is available for familiarization with the mini EFIS
before and after purchase.
