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 http://www.craggyaero.com/air_data_indicator.htm Richard www.craggyaero.com |

Many features see http://www.craggyaero.com/air_data_indicator.htm Richard www.craggyaero.com 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. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |

I can't see any mention one way or the other on the LX Nav website or in the manual. |

I can't see any mention one way or the other on the LX Nav website or in the manual. 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. Richard, www.craggyaero.com http://www.craggyaero.com/acd_altimeter.htm |

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

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 -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |
