New Annunciation Control Unit Brings Vital Information To
Pilots' Field Of View
Mid-Continent Instruments has introduced the latest in its MD41
family of products ... the MD41-151X Series Annunciation Control
Units (ACU) - an upgrade to the company's MD41-146X Series Wide
Area Augmentation System (WAAS) ACUs.
MD41-151X
Mid-Continent Instruments' MD41-151X ACU is designed as a
companion to the new Garmin Touch Navigator (GTN) systems.
Available in horizontal and vertical configurations, the unit
identifies the suspend (SUSP) function independently of the OBS
function. It also incorporates the loss of integrity (LOI)
annunciation in place of the integrity (INTG) annunciation,
fulfilling FAA requirements. The MD41-151X ACU is TSO certified and
meets RTCA DO-160 environmental specifications.
"This compact, self-contained ACU provides convenient mode
switching of Garmin's GTN systems," said Brett Williams,
engineering manager for Mid-Continent Instruments. "It brings vital
status and warning information directly into the pilot's primary
field of view. The MD41-151X has LED annunciation and a built-in
photocell that offers automatic brightness control, as well as
minimum brightness adjustment for optimal nighttime viewing."
Tom Genovese, Mid-Continent Instruments director of sales,
added, "We're excited to be Garmin's preferred solution for
external annunciation switching. The MD41-151X Series ACUs bring
GPS mode information into the pilot's primary field of view,
greatly increasing situation awareness."
