Heli-Expo 2006: L-3 Avionics To Supply S-92 ESIS

Sikorsky has selected L-3 Avionics' Electronic Standby Instrument System (ESIS) Model GH-3100 to install aboard a custom outfitted Sikorsky S-92.
 
The S-92 is the first helicopter in the world certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency/Joint Aviation Authorities (EASA/JAA) to the latest and most rigorous safety standards. The S-92 was also the first helicopter certified by the FAA to FAR Part 29 Transport Rotorcraft, Amendment 47, the latest U.S. safety regulations, which mirror the European standards.

Designed to replace conventional electro-mechanical standby attitude, airspeed and altitude instruments, the solid-state GH-3100 ESIS is capable of providing all three functions, plus heading, slip/skid, navigation data and vertical speed, in a single three-inch flat-panel display. The GH-3100 features an integrated air data sensor card with pitot static connections directly to the unit eliminating the need for a remote mounted air data computer. An Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) provides exceptional readability in direct sunlight as well as dark cockpit environments. The GH-3100 is the only standby system available that can be customized to visually match an aircraft’s primary flight display system, which provides an additional measure of safety when transitioning from primary to standby instrumentation.

L-3 Avionics Systems provides a wide array of avionics safety technologies, such as the GH-3000 electronic and J.E.T. standby instruments, SkyWatch traffic alert collision avoidance systems (TCAS), Landmark terrain awareness warning systems (TAWS) and Stormscope weather mapping systems.
