 FLEXIBILITY Any of the AFS screens can be configured as an EFIS (EF), Engine Monitor (EM) or both if hardware modules (EE) are installed in the same screen. Connect an EFIS screen with an Engine Monitor screen using the Advanced Avionics Bus and you can display the EFIS, Engine Monitor, or both on either screen. You can even connect an “EE” screen with an “EF” screen giving you a system with multiple Attitude Heading Reference Systems (AHRS). The optional Angle-Of-Attack module can be added to the screen giving you our superior and proven AOA technology on the EFIS display. |
||||||
Battery Backup Our systems are designed to run for over an hour, in the event of an electrical failure, using the internal Lithium battery. The battery is continually recharged by the EFIS. The internal battery also will power the EFIS when the voltage drops on an engine start. Voice Alerts All of our systems have a full-featured voice alert system. Lose oil pressure, for instance, and you will immediately hear “Check Oil Pressure.” |
||||||
 Mapping Our ADVANCED Moving Map will interface to most external GPS receivers giving you a large and easy to read display. It currently displays public and private airports, terrain, obstacles, airspaces, state lines, navigational beacons and intersections. Airport information is also displayed; including runways, frequencies, traffic patterns, elevation, pattern altitude and fuel availability. Add our optional XM receiver module for XM Weather. Traffic can be displayed on the map from a Zaon XRS or Garmin GTX 330 Transponder. |

 EFIS HSI Truly WAAS Compatible Our Patent Pending display integrates aircraft heading with GPS, VOR, Localizer and Glide Slope information. Garmin’s new WAAS enabled 430 has substantially different software from non-WAAS 430 units. AFS has extensively tested the new Garmin 430W and 530W units with our EFIS systems in multiple configurations (i.e. single and dual screen EFIS with 430W, 530W, SL30, 496, Zaon Traffic unit, etc.). AFS has performed numerous actual ILS and LPV approaches to verify that our 430W interface truly works, including the ability to send OBS Course and heading data from the EFIS back to the 430W. AFS systems also auto-migrate the flight plan and approach from the 430W to our map screen. |

||||||
| ADVANCED Engine Monitoring | ||||||
| Complete Aircraft Monitoring and Data Acquisition System The system continuously monitors and displays all of the aircraft engine data on a sunlight-readable color LCD display. Unlike other systems, the display can be customized to the user’s preference. Any of the standard instruments can be eliminated or added to the screen. | ||||||

AHRS To assure that we provide our customers with the safest, most reliable and highest quality AHRS-Magnetometer solutions, AFS incorporates an embedded uncertified-version of the TSO’d Crossbow AHRS that is widely used in Glass Cockpit avionics upgrades for Part 23 aircraft. The embedded AHRS and its companion Remote Magnetometer are built in Crossbow’s FAA MIDO approved manufacturing facility, where automated state-of-the-art dual-axis ovenized rate tables ($250,000 each), thermal chambers and Helmholtz cages perform extensive calibration, test and 100% verification of performance and reliability prior to being incorporated into the EFIS. Each AHRS is run through the temperature and calibration chamber for 10 hours, at two separate times during the manufacturing process to assure accuracy and reliability. Highly accurate inertial sensors used in the AHRS ensure that the AFS-EFIS system maintains high safety and precise performance even during the loss of, or degraded, GPS signal. In addition to products developed for Experimental aircraft, military weapons systems and UAVs, Crossbow AHRS products have been certified by the FAA for use in over 600 types of aircraft including GA, VLJ, BizJet and Rotary Wing applications.
