EIT Avionics, June 18, 2020 - Leesburg, Virginia - EIT Avionics LLC Announces Completion of FAA STC Amendment to Add FODR System Interface to the FreeFlight Systems’ RA 4000/4500 Radar Altimeter, for the Robinson R44 Helicopter.
ESAID® now provides altitude callouts and large, crisp display of Radar Altitude. ESAID® calculates density altitude, power, hover and airspeed performance limitations twice per second, giving the pilot enhanced situational awareness.
FODR® and ESAID® are FAA STC approved on the Robinson R 44 II helicopter.
The EIT Avionics FODR® is a high performance data recorder capturing 21 channels 5 x per second. Uniquely, FODR® interfaces with ESAID, a display and annunciation device, to enhance IN FLIGHT situational awareness of critical parameters.
Install the FODR System with FreeFlight Systems’ TSO-Certified RA 4000/4500 and improve the way you fly with better data.
