The FAA has granted TSO certification to Mid-Continent
Instruments for their MD15 two-inch altimeter and the
MD25 two-inch airspeed indicator. The company said Tuesday
they are available immediately.
MD15 Altimeter
"The MD15 altimeter and MD25 airspeed indicator complement
our 4200 electric attitude indicator and complete the 2-inch
standby package," said Brett Williams, engineering manager for
Mid-Continent Instruments. "Their small size saves space in crowded
panels and provides either primary or standby instrumentation for
any general aviation flight deck."
The MD15 is a two-inch, three-pointer altimeter offered in a
20,000-ft. model, with a 35,000-ft. model to follow. Options
include a barometric scale in inches of mercury or millibars and a
left- or right-hand baro set knob. The instrument is FAA TSO-C10b
certified.
MD25 Airspeed Indicator
The MD25 2-inch Airspeed Indicator is
offered in multiple ranges: 160, 200, 260, 300, 350 and 400 knots.
Range markings can be added to meet specific aircraft requirements.
The instrument is FAA TSO-C2d certified for fixed-wing or
rotorcraft operation.
Both instruments' anti-reflective glass enhances visibility and
reduces pilot fatigue. Units have a field-replaceable
light-emitting diode (LED) or incandescent light tray available in
5, 14 and 28 VDC. The MD25 and MD15 are typically rear-mounted and
can be installed individually or as part of a three-unit standby
package - with the 4200 attitude indicator.
"There is a growing demand for smaller standby instruments in glass
panel flight decks these days," said Tom Genovese, Mid-Continent
Instruments' director of sales. "The Mid-Continent standby package
provides the time-proven information that pilots require without
taking much panel space."
"Sometimes, growth makes it easy to miss the little things, and today's "little guy" is smarting more than ever just looking at the price tags of "cheap" aircraft. Poberezny, seein>[...]
