Latter Includes Dedicated Controls For Autopilot, NVG
Chelton Flight Systems, part of Cobham’s Avionics and
Surveillance Division, announced Wednesday the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) has granted a Technical Standard Order
Authorization (TSOA) for its independent GPS-WAAS and Remote Bugs
Panel (RBP).
"Chelton is excited to announce these TSO authorizations,"
Chelton General Manager Jim Shirey said. "Achieving these
milestones will allow us to proceed with manufacturing and
ultimately toward STC applications for both GPS-WAAS and the Remote
Bugs Panel."
Chelton’s new lightweight GPS-WAAS system will meet the
requirements for a primary navigation receiver for en route and
approach guidance. The GPS-WAAS also features LPV approach
capability.
"The new Chelton Remote BUGS panel puts control of the Chelton
EFIS system within easy reach of the flight crew," Shirey said "We
have collected a lot of input from pilots flying both fixed wing
and helicopters and used that data to design the Remote Bugs panel.
Our goal is to decrease pilot workload throughout all phases of
flight. We are confident the Remote Bugs panel is an ideal
solution."
Chelton’s Remote Bugs panel features dedicated controls
for frequently-used functions including the autopilot, controls for
selecting and setting display parameters, and a Night Vision Goggle
(NVG) Mode option.
"More and more Part 25 operators want to install Chelton EFIS in
their aircraft and helicopters," Shirey said. "By taking another
step to being able to offer required equipment like the Remote Bugs
Panel we are closer to being able to enter this important
market."
