Unveils Two-Inch CDI For Space-Constrained Panels
At last week's National Business Aviation Association conference
in Orlando, FL, Mid-Continent Instruments told ANN it understands
the shortage of panel space in many general aviation aircraft.
After introducing a two-inch attitude gyro to the market last May,
Mid-Continent has now added a two-inch course deviation indicator
(CDI) to its résumé of certified instruments.
With a compact size of 2.25", the new CDI saves on panel space
allowing it to be placed just about anywhere in your instrument
panel.
"Every general aviation pilot needs a CDI of some sort," said
Todd Winter, president of Mid-Continent Instruments. "The MD200
series' size allows you to fulfill that need without taking up
valuable panel real estate."
In addition to saving space, the MD200 series offers an
innovative safety feature that moves the pointers out of view with
an invalid signal. The CDI's rectilinear meter movements allow for
precise and accurate readings by the pilot. NAV, GPS, and VLOC
annunciation are built-in and backlit by LED lighting providing
enhanced nighttime and sunlight readability.
"This indicator will
fit the need of aircraft owners of LSA all the way up to business
aircraft," stated Winter. The CDI has TSO approval from the FAA and
will interface with the most common NAV and GPS receivers.
Edmo Distributors and Mid-Continent Instruments reports these
units will be available for purchase through any FAA approved
avionics dealer.
