New 4x4 Displays Offer Affordable Modular Technology
Update
Sandel Avionics has introduced two advanced 4-in. cockpit
displays, the SN4500 4x4 EHSI and the SA4500 4x4 EADI, which
provide operators of turbine-class aircraft with a modular
technology update for aging electromechanical units.
Incorporating the company's
SandelSmart I/OTM for ready compatibility with virtually all analog
or digital aircraft, the SN4500 and SA4500 offer an easy-to-install
aftermarket update, adding affordable moving map functionality and
an enhanced, highly readable attitude display. In addition,
Sandel's modular display concept provides the option of continuing
to use serviceable avionics while adding a new EHSI or
EADI—units may be installed separately or in tandem—to
make older aircraft safer, more functional and easier to fly, while
saving on acquisition and installation costs.
Similar to the proven displays found in the newest generation of
aircraft, the SN4500 4x4 EHSI and SA4500 4x4 EADI yield bright,
360-degree readability (180 degrees in both horizontal and vertical
axes) and unequaled sunlight visibility. Among the SN4500 EHSI's
many features are multiple HSI navigation modes; an intuitive pilot
interface; and a full range of navigation and safety sensor
interfaces, including weather radar and traffic data. The SA4500
EADI replaces outdated electromechanical attitude director
indicators with a bright, highly readable attitude display, in
either single-cue or split-cue annunciation formats. Both the
SN4500 EHSI and SA4500 EADI incorporate a long-life backlight for
high reliability and low cost of ownership.
"These advanced displays for turbine-class aircraft are a
natural extension of our philosophy that the latest technology
should be made available to all classes and types of aircraft, to
make flying safer and more enjoyable for everybody," said Gerry
Block, Sandel's President. "And we specifically designed these
displays to be modular, because modular systems offer pilots and
aircraft owners the flexibility to add new technology and
capabilities in the most convenient and affordable format."
