Solid-state AHRS receives TSO and STC certification. Deliveries to commence immediately.
Vista, CA, (February 6, 2008)—Sandel Avionics, the leader in avionics retrofit, today announced that its SG102 AHRS has received FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) and Supplemental Type Certification (STC) approvals, enabling the new system to be delivered and installed by its network of avionics dealers. Designed as a replacement for electromechanical directional gyros, the SG102 is a solid-state system certified for primary heading reference.
A plug compatible replacement for the KG 102A directional gyro, the SG102 is ideally suited for upgrading existing Bendix/King® KCS 55A compass systems. Multiple heading formats (XYZ, ARINC 429 and RS-232) are supported to allow upgrading of other directional gyros or interfacing with Sandel’s SN3500 and SN4500 Primary Navigation Displays.
The SG102 system includes a Sandel-designed solid-state sealed magnetic transducer (magnetometer) for stabilized magnetic heading. Utilizing the latest MEMS sensor technology, the compact SG102 weighs just over two pounds and provides size and weight savings over traditional electromechanical gyros.
Sandel Avionics, located in Vista, California, is a privately held company that provides compact integrated display systems for general aviation, business aviation, air transport and regional, and rotary-wing aircraft. Recent successes include the company's best-selling, turbine-class ST3400 TAWS, and a suite of 4-ATI LED-backlit attitude and navigation displays.
