L-3 Equipment Standard on 11 Cessna Platforms
The L-3 Trilogy ESI-1000 Electronic Standby Instrument will be
included as standard equipment on the recently launched new light
business jet called the Citation M2. Cessna also selected L-3
Aviation Recorders’ FA2100 Solid-State Cockpit Voice Recorder
(CVR) as an option on the new aircraft.
"The Trilogy ESI will enhance both the safety and reliability of
the Citation M2 avionics suite,” said Larry Riddle, vice
president of business development for L-3 Avionics Systems.
“We continue to build on our long-standing relationship with
the Cessna team, and our equipment is now standard on 11 Cessna
platforms. We are proud that Cessna has selected two products from
L-3’s Aviation Products businesses as part of this new
aircraft package.”
The Trilogy ESI series standby instruments were developed and
certified to Design Assurance Level A, the highest safety standard
acknowledged by the FAA. Created to meet the needs of general
aviation aircraft, the instruments provide attitude, altitude,
airspeed, slip/skid and optional heading data on a space-saving
3.7-inch backlit display.
Key features include:
- Logically grouped flight data eliminates multiple instruments,
easing the transition to flight by
- standby.
- Integrated air-data computer provides accurate data
independently of other systems.
- Single instrument reduces weight and scan times versus reading
multiple instruments.
- Solid-state design offers increased reliability compared to
electro-mechanical instruments.
- Standard 3-ATI mounting cutout makes Trilogy easy to operate
and install.
The Trilogy ESI was developed with L-3 Avionics Systems’
advanced solid-state expertise, which has made the company a leader
in electronic standby instrument systems for high-end aircraft. The
Trilogy product line brings this expertise to the general aviation
market.
The FA2100 line of cockpit voice recorders provides the industry
standard for quality and reliability, demonstrating over 50,000
hours mean time between failures (MTBF) for global general aviation
and commercial transport fleets. L-3 CVRs comply with all current
and pending FAA and international airworthiness agency regulations,
providing two hours of high-quality four-channel audio and datalink
message recording capability.
