Default LXNAV introduces New ADI Air Data Indicator

LXNAV

Indicates airspeed, altitude and vertical speed with an integrated high precision digital pressure sensors. The unit has standard dimension of 57 mm diameter. Not TSO.

Many features see

You have to read the manual to discover the vertical speed indicator can be used as a vario
(using electronic Total Energy compensation - no probe), or as a standard, uncompensated VSI.
No audio, but probably at least adequate as a backup to the primary vario. That makes it a
3-in-one combo: ASI, ALT, Vario. That's good news for small panels, and a lot cheaper, too.

Looks like an excellent concept but does it have any sort of approval? I can't see any mention one way or the other on the LX Nav website or in the manual.

Contact LXNav, as there are obviously a lot of aircraft that require certified instruments, and
they may be pursuing certification so they can also serve that market.

No ETSO for the ADI at this time. I would say OK for experimental aircraft.

The Air Avionic ACD has a ETSO Altimeter and also controls Transponder/Transceiver.

I may be wrong but I don't believe any of the Winter Instruments we see in gliders have ETSO certification.

They are ETSO, and they come new with a Form 1.

"A lot of aircraft" in this case would be every single glider in the world except US exp. reg gliders, I guess.

Sounds like a strong financial incentive to pursue certification! But, I don't really know what
they think their market is, which could include the US experimental airplanes. They obviously
think there is a decent market that made it worth developing the ADI, as does LX Navigation,
with it's similar "Iris all-in-one":

http://www.lxnavigation.com/iris-series/

The main differences between the two that I know about are ..

-The ADI offers an expanded scale at low speeds; the Iris does not (I'm told it's feature they
are working on)
-The ADI Vne can adjust with altitude; the Iris does not have that feature
-The ADI setup is done directly on the instrument; the Iris requires a $200 wifi adapter to
connect to a computer
-The Iris has a built-in backup battery; the ADI does not
