Save valuable panel space

By General Aviation News Staff · January 5, 2007 ·

Mid-Continent Instruments has added a 2-inch course deviation indicator (CDI) to its résumé of certified instruments.

The new CDI saves on panel space, allowing it to be placed just about anywhere in your instrument panel. “Every general aviation pilot needs a CDI of some sort,” said Todd Winter, president. “The MD200 series’ size allows you to fulfill that need without taking up valuable panel real estate.”

The MD200 series offers an innovative safety feature that moves the pointers out of view with an invalid signal. The CDI’s rectilinear meter movements allow for precise and accurate readings by the pilot. NAV, GPS and VLOC annunciation are built-in and backlit by LED lighting providing enhanced nighttime and sunlight readability.
