New Cockpit Gadgets:HUD, Flight Recorder

摘要

After a one-year hiatus because of the pandemic, the annual AEA (Aircraft Electronics Association) national convention met in Dallas, Texas, in June. There were two new products that caught our attention. First, the MyGoFlight SkyDisplay HUD, which has been stuck in certification since we first flew with the system for a report in the May 2019 Aviation Consumer. To recap, the SkyDisplay is a familiar see-through optical cockpit projector displaying flight data without the need to look down at the instrument panel. Each application requires a dedicated mounting bracket and the HUD is attached through posts bonded to the cabin ceiling. The device gets its data over an ARINC and serial databus that's compatible with a variety of third-party PFDs and GPS navigators.
