Altitude encoders translate the altitude of the aircraft
in 100-foot increments to a specific code that is
transmitted
by
the transponder to the Air Traffic Controller, shown
next to
the aircraft symbol and transponder code. The Shadin
Avionics Falcon
Encoder provides automatic altitude data to GPS and
Loran receivers,
along with Mode C encoder and high resolution
serializer functions
in one compact unit. The Shadin Avionics encoder meets
TSO requirements,
helps the GPS to maintain accurate 3-D position
calculation,
and substitutes fourth satellite altitude reference.
The Shadin Avionics encoder feeds gray code altitude information
to the transponder. It simultaneously feeds RS-232
altitude
data to the GPS and the Shadin Avionics Altitude
Management System (AMS-2000)
for Instantaneous Vertical Speed calculation, The
AMS-2000 has
an innovative fixed time-based (not fixed altitude)
warning
as the target altitude is approached. This means the
alert is
given earlier at higher rates of vertical speed for a
smoother
level off, allowing 20 seconds to level off,
regardless of the
rate of climb or descent. The addition of the Shadin
Avionics Encoder
enables an enhanced, high resolution 10 foot
resolution to be
displayed on your AMS-2000 Altitude. |
