Avidyne Intro's First MHD With Terrain, Traffic And Lightning For 3ATI Format

MHD's FAA Certification for EGPWS Interface Adds TAWS Capability To Lightning Detection and Traffic Features in a '3ATI' Form Factor

Avidyne has unveiled an MHD Multi-Hazard Display with Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS) capability, the first color display combining TAWS, traffic and lightning to fit in a standard (3ATI) avionics panel opening. Part of Avidyne's growing line of avionics, the MHD is ideal for installation in space-constrained panels and adds important safety tools in a highly flexible, compact package to virtually any general aviation cockpit.

With its recent FAA certification as a TAWS display, the MHD is compatible with the Honeywell KGP 560, KGP 860, and Mark XXI Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS). The system also can function as a traffic display when interfaced with Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS I), Avidyne TAS600 Series or other Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS) and Mode S Traffic Information Systems (TIS). The MHD also displays lightning information from the L-3 WX-500 Stormscope system and is available with an optional DME display for added functionality.

Developed by Avidyne's Columbus, OH-based Safety Systems Group, the MHD has a full-color, high-resolution active matrix LCD that is easy to read and interpret. The MHD also is available in a night vision goggle (NVG)-compatible version for military, law enforcement and other applications. Earlier versions of the MHD have been particularly popular in helicopters and corporate aircraft where there is a strong need for a safety-sensor display and panel space is at a premium.

"Flexibility and affordability are the key benefits of the MHD for both aircraft owners and dealers," said Mark Sandeen, vice president of sales and marketing at Avidyne.

"There are a large number of aircraft with limited panel space that can benefit from the situational awareness tools and enhanced safety that come from a multi-function display. The MHD is an ideal solution for those aircraft."
