| Designed to interface with the latest GPS systems
on the market, the ADC-200 delivers real-time fuel management
information, winds aloft, and airdata information to instantly
alert the pilot to changing flight conditions. The ADC-200
is remote-mounted, and requires no valuable panel space since
all calculated functions are viewed directly on the GPS!
RS232/422 output fed to the GPS receiver automatically
generates the following information to appear on the GPS
fuel and wind pages:
- Individual engine fuel flow (GPS calculates fuel remaining/used,
fuel to destination, left/right engine used)
- TAS, winds aloft, wind component
- Mach, Indicated Air Speed, Instantaneous Vertical Speed,
True Air Temperature, Rate of Turn, Outside Air Temperature,
Pressure Altitude, Density Altitude, Magnetic Heading.
Calculated pressure altitude fed from the ADC-200 to the
GPS substitutes as 4th satellite navigation information,
saving expense of wiring the existing encoder to the GPS.
For jet operators, pitot/static source error correction
curves were added to ensure accurate pressure altitude and
indicated airspeed readouts. A bootstrap HSI must be installed
for heading information.
