Mid-Continent Instruments MD15, MD25 Ready To Fly
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."
