SIERRA FLIGHT SYSTEMS EFIS-1000
|
Ultimate Situational Awareness |
Sierra Flight Systems has
taken the extensive engineering and development that went into
our state-of-the-art EFIS-2000 and repackaged it into an affordable
system specifically de- signed for the homebuilder with a budget.
Builders of RVs, Pulsars, Europas, EZEs, tube- and-fabric sport
aircraft, and many others will appreciate its lightweight, compact
design, and easy installation. Virtually identical in appearance
to its big brother, the EFIS-1000 has been designed to give the
experimental aircraft pilot unmatched situational awareness at
a reasonable price. The EFIS-1000 system consists of three software
pages (primary flight display, moving map, and engine monitor)
displayed on a high-resolution, full-color multi-function display
(MFD). A second MFD is optional but not necessary. |
 EFIS-1000
Primary Flight Display
The
primary flight display (PFD) combines pitot-static information
from an EAU (Engine/Airdata Unit), and position and track input
from a GPS receiver (included), to generate a display identical
to that of the EFIS-2000 but without attitude information (conventional
artificial must be included on the panel in order to determine
aircraft attitude). This display utilizes military-style flight
path marker symbology with 3-D skyway (highway-in-the-sky) navigation
for waypointsand approaches.
The flight path marker, which displays your projected flight
path, allows you to guide your aircraft through a 3-D series
of "boxes" on the screen - easily, safely, and accurately
to the destination. The PFD also displays real-time 3-D terrain
modeling, airspeed, ground speed, altitude, altitude above ground,
density altitude, vertical speed, angle of attack, heading, decision
height, actual winds aloft, crosswind component, OAT, and timers.
In effect, what you see on the screen is virtual VFR, regardless
of what you can (or cant) see out the window. |
 EFIS-1000
Moving Map
The EFIS-1000s
vector moving map utilizes Jeppesen NavData and will display
your flight plan along with any terrain that is approaching
or above your current altitude. Plus, our unique horizontal projected
path shows the track of your aircraft up to one minute into the
future. Map can be viewed in radar-sweep style or position-centered
(full compass rose) with scales ranging from 10-160 miles. Multiple
levels of de-clutter allow you to configure the map with the
info you want to see. |
 EFIS-1000 Digital Engine Monitor
The EFIS-1000 digital
engine monitoring system with voice warning watches up to 40
different parameters simultaneously, regardless of which software
page is currently being displayed. All parameters are displayed
in both analog and digital format and our unique color coding
system instantly identifies any reading that exceeds the normal
range. Additionally, the EFIS-1000 logs all flight and engine
data for download (to a speadsheet) and review. |
 EAU
(Engine/Airdata Unit)
Every Sierra Flight
Systems EFIS includes an EAU.The EAU is a microprocessor-controlled
analog/digital converter that senses airdata and engine sources,
processes the information, and sends it to the CPUs. The EAU
also incorporates the voice warning system. The EAU can be configured
by the pilot to display virtually any combination of engine and
pitot- static information continuously regardless of what is
shown on the MFDs.For example, the
graphic above shows the EAU displaying RPM, manifold pressure,
airspeed, oil temp/pressure, peak CHT, and altitude. The EAU
is wired to the aircrafts master switch to provide the pilot
with engine monitoring capability during engine start, before
the EFIS is powered up. |

If you want the safety
and power of an EFIS without the astronomical price, choose the
affordable EFIS-1000 from Sierra Flight Systems.
