RVSM air data test instrument debuts

By Janice Wood · July 7, 2010 ·

The MPS40C 4 Channel RVSM Flight Line Air Data Test Instrument from DMA-Aero is capable of controlling four pressures separately and independently: static, pitot, and dual angle of attack. The MPS40C is designed for flightline use for aircraft that incorporate pneumatic AOA measurement through Smart probes. The angle of attack pressure can be displayed either in pressure units or directly in degrees of AOA with 0.1° resolution. It can also be used for conventional two channel pitot statics.

The MPS40C is equipped with internal rechargeable batteries that provide four hours of operation when AC power is unavailable. The MPS40C is RVSM compliant with a recommended calibration cycle of one year. Calibration is performed via the instrument’s keypad and is fast and simple since no mechanical adjustments are required. Calibration factors are password protected. Additional features include a 5,000 hrs warranty on the internal pump, GPIB option, Encoding Altimeter option, and a standard two-year warranty.

For more information: 203-790-8371 or DMA-aero.com.
