TORRANCE, Calif., 24 Feb. 2014. Light helicopter expert Robinson Helicopter Co. in Torrance, Calif., is moving away from its traditional simple mechanical helicopter avionics panels with a new line of instrument panels and avionics for the R22, R44, and R66 light helicopters. To accommodate the new glass cockpit-style avionics, Robinson replaced its 7-, 9-, and 10-hole avionics instrument panels with 6- and 8-hole instrument panels. The 6-hole panel is standard on the R22 and R44 Raven I while the 8-hole panel is standard on the R44 Raven II and R66. The 8-hole panel is also an option on the R44 Raven I. Both panels allow for glass avionics or traditional instrument configurations. The new line includes, as optional equipment, the Garmin GTN 600/700 touch-screen navigators, as well as the Aspen Avionics primary flight display (PFD) and multifunction display (MFD) systems. |
