Far beyond a replacement for the traditional six-pack gyro panel, the Sport S200 is the basis for a low-cost, glass-panel cockpit, with features usually found only in the high-end EFIS. Interfaces included in the Sport allow seamless integration with most of the other aircraft's systems, including GPS, NAV radio, autopilot, transponder, EIS engine monitor, and more. Configurable as a single or dual-screens, the Sport S200 is an uncompromising design with the integrity and reliability necessary for it to be primary instrumentation for VFR or IFR flight.
Functionality - While other entry level EFIS products provide little more than a replacement of the traditional six-pack, the Sport S200 starts with attitude, gyro-heading, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, but includes features such as:
- Seamlessly Interfaces to any GPS - Displays flight plan and steering info
- Coupling of autopilot to GPS, Synthetic Approach or Heading Select Bug
- Complete navigation radio interface and HSI for SL30 Nav/Com
- TIS Traffic Display from Garmin GTX330
- Synthetic Approach provides highway-in-the-sky guidance to any runway.
- Synthetic view - Display shows runways and obstacles on wide-screen attitude display
- Flight path marker - Shows direction of flight relative to runways and obstacles
- Continuously computed wind speed/direction
- G-Meter
- Options for internal GPS, moving map with terrain, graphical engine monitoring.
- Slaved directional gyro - never requires setting
- Record and Playback function
Value
- Free software and navigation database updates
- Small enough to allow stacking of 2 units in most airplanes, including RV's
- Easily Updated - USB memory stick for software and database updates
- Provides altitude encoder output
- No spinning gyros - completely electronic. Fully functional during aerobatics.
- Requires only 1.5 Amps. Operates down to 9 volts.
- External magnetometer is standard, for maximum installation flexibility
- Dual screen option to show more, and provide redundancy
- Upgradeable to full Horizon EFIS
- 1-year satisfaction-guaranteed warranty
Safety Features - The cornerstone of the Sport S200 is its high-integrity attitude/heading reference system (AHRS), for roll and pitch data you can count on. Based on the same AHRS design used in Series I, the integrity of the attitude data has a proven track record unmatched by any other EFIS or AHRS available to general aviation. A sophisticated Kalman-filtering algorithm provides high-accuracy attitude data with outstanding tolerance of gyro drift.
- High-Integrity Attitude Data - Does not depend on GPS or external aiding
- Synthetic approach provides steering and autopilot coupling - great for low-visibility conditions, night landings, and back-up to ILS approaches.
- Obstacle database with synthetic view on primary flight data screen and alerts
- Symbology and features follow aviation standards - Easy-to-use
- Minimal functional loss when GPS data unavailable
- Sunlight-readable display operates from -22F to 185 deg F without slowness or washout
- Wide dimming range display allows for safe night flying
- Continuous built-in-test functions detect failed hardware
- Alarms with external warning light
