EMS Now Approved For Socatas, Mooneys, Grummans, And Extras

The Federal Aviation Administration recently granted approval to New York-based Xerion Avionix LLC for installation of the AuRACLE CRM series Engine Management Systems into all 4 & 6-cylinder Mooney, Grumman, Rockwell Commander, Socata, and Extra Aircraft.

"This new Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) continues the successful launch of the AuRACLE product line; allowing more pilots to properly manage engine information, resulting in significant improvements in fuel management and engine operations thereby avoiding potentially devastating in-flight engine failures" says Xerion's Eric Hathaway.

Xerion AuRACLE CRM series monitors are actively being installed in Beechcraft, Piper and Cessna aircraft for which Xerion received FAA approval during 2008.

"These additional approvals provide the owners and pilots of these aircraft a complete overview of up-to-the-second engine data with a state-of-the-art fuel computer, significantly reducing the pilot workload thus increasing safety and reducing engine maintenance costs," continued Hathaway.

"The AuRACLE CRM series Engine Management System is now certified for primary use in over 95% of the single-engine aircraft worldwide. This is a significant milestone for the advancement of GA engine safety and substantial accomplishment for a relatively new company to accomplish in such a short period."

The FAA approval allows the AuRACLE to serve as primary instrumentation, replacing the aircraft's legacy engine 'steam' gages. Additionally, the system employs a unique Engine Interface Unit installed on the engine-side of the firewall, reducing engine instrumentation firewall penetrations to one single, more streamlined cannon-style bulkhead connector.

The AuRACLE operates with both four- and six-cylinder engines. The single 5.0 inch high definition, sunlight readable color screen can be configured to display any and all information required by an individual aircraft, including RPM, MAP, FF, oil temperature, oil pressure, CHT, EGT, percentage of horsepower, voltage/amperage, vacuum pressure, OAT, TIT, carburetor temperature, fuel pressure, induction air temperature, compressor discharge temperature, tach time and GPS interface.

Xerion is currently working through certification of the recently announced CRM2120 for twin-engine aircraft.
