Aspen Avionics
I was intrigued at Oshkosh with Aspen Avionics gyro and hsi steam gauge
replacements. They have a LCD solid-state ADHRS gyro and HSI that fits into the same slots as the steam gauges. Anybody have any experience with these instruments? Are they shipping yet? I assume they are using these new ADHRS and GPS on a chip. What kind of tests have these devices been through? |

Anybody have any experience with these
instruments? Are they shipping yet? Have you asked Aspen? Their webpage doesn't list completed certification under news. I assume they are using these new ADHRS and GPS on a chip. What kind of tests have these devices been through? They'll be FAA certified. For me, that will work. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

I was hoping someone had installed one in their plane and could comment.

Aspen updated the release date of their PFD to the end of the first quarter
of 2008 with shipments to begin in April.

It's amazing to me that they can put a ADHRS on a chip, but that's what
they're doing. I did some internet searching and pretty much found the chip (made in South Korea as I recall), but I didn't save the link. I would be interested to know how the FAA goes about certifying an ADHRS on a chip. (I think I've got that acronym right.) "Thomas Borchert" wrote in message ...

I think they have done that already for the G1000 and the Avidyne Entegra and the Chelton and... The G1000 has an AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System) and an external ADC (Air Data Computer). The Aspen thing seems to have an ADAHRS (Air Data Attitude Heading Reference System) - the ADC is built in. Can't speak to the Chelton, but the Entegra seems to have a full-size ADAHRS (http://www.avidyne.com/products/ente...tionality.shtm) - maybe there's only 1 chip in there with all the rest being the plumbing, but it seems to be significantly physically larger than the Aspen box. |

The Aspen people are not interested (for the moment) for certifying with any autopilot. Of course that only applies to attitude based autopilots, not rate-based autipilots, which most of the people here would have (a-la ones which pull from the turn coordinator - from what I can tell everything S-Tec, and the KAP140). From what I can tell, in the market they're looking at, the KFC225 and the like is an exception rather than the rule. |

Peter,
If you have an autopilot, the old attitude indicator must remain in place to provide pitch/roll information to the autopilot. Get an S-TEC and you'll lose both the problem with the AI requirement and the burnt gyro problem. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
