Whether upgrading legacy instrumentation or seeking a dependable solution for your OEM platform, IA Standby Display units reduce cockpit complexity while increasing flight crew confidence.
Key Features
Advanced Display Technology – High-resolution LCDs optimized for sunlight readability, low-light and night-time viewing, plus optional NVIS compatibility. Easy-to-read display formats and intuitive user interface are especially valuable in critical situations when back instrumentation is needed most.
Highly Accurate Data Sensors – Leveraging the latest in MEMS Gyro technology and our breadth of experience in air data, RVSM, and Flat Panel Display Systems, providing unsurpassed capability, precision and reliability through all phases of flight.
Versatile Interface Capability – Smart Sensor Technology and fully configurable ARINC429 integration provide installation flexibility and compatibility with a wide range of external systems.
Certified, Tested, and Trusted
Every IA Standby Display unit is certified to meet the most rigorous aviation standards. Advanced software designs are certified and tested to stringent RTCA DO-178B Level B and RTCA DO-178C Level A specifications, with complex Electronic Hardware qualified to RTCA DO-254 Level B, to meet the rugged and high-MTBF demands of Business, Commercial, and Military applications.
IA systems have been selected and trusted for many significant applications and flown hundreds of thousands of hours in a wide range of platforms around the world, including the A-4, C-130, B757, B767, B737 Classic, PC-12 Legacy and NG, King Air 200 and 300, King Air 260 and 360, and Eclipse 500 and 550.
Reduce Weight, Simplify Cockpit Systems, and Enhance Safety
Designed for true redundancy and reliability, IA Integrated Standby Units deliver all vital information typically displayed on multiple legacy instruments in a single, compact, lightweight LRU.
Size, weight, and performance are critical considerations for standby instruments. IA standby systems reduce equipment count and overall weight in the cockpit, fitting seamlessly into a standard 3-ATI slot, and conserving valuable panel space. Processing and displaying critical flight and navigation information into logical and concise display formats, IA standby displays can provide all the information typically shown on multiple displays around the panel.
Flexible Options for Every Aircraft and Mission
Option One-IA standby systems are available in several form factors with functionality to meet a diverse range of mission profiles. In addition to providing standby Attitude, Heading and Air data display, options include Primary Flight Display Backup that enable precision and non-precision approaches safely in all weather conditions, even when all other equipment has failed or degraded. Optional support is also available for external Magnetometer interface, standby Radio Management capability, Alternate Navigator functionality, and NVIS compatibility.
Option Two: IA standby systems are available in several form factors with functionality to meet a diverse range of mission profiles. In addition to providing standby Attitude, Heading, and Air Data display, options include:
