Shadin ADC200 (Fuel Air Data Computer)
Designed to interface with the latest GPS systems on the market, the ADC-200 delivers real-time fuel management information, winds aloft, and airdata information to instantly alert the pilot to changing flight conditions. The ADC-200 is remote-mounted, and requires no valuable panel space since all calculated functions are viewed directly on the GPS!
RS232/422 output fed to the GPS receiver automatically generates the following information to appear on the GPS fuel and wind pages:
-
Individual engine fuel flow (GPS calculates fuel remaining/used, fuel to destination, left/right engine used)
-
TAS, winds aloft, wind component
-
Mach, Indicated Air Speed, Instantaneous Vertical Speed, True Air Temperature, Rate of Turn, Outside Air Temperature, Pressure Altitude, Density Altitude, Magnetic Heading.
Calculated pressure altitude fed from the ADC-200 to the GPS substitutes as 4th satellite navigation information, saving expense of wiring the existing encoder to the GPS.
For jet operators, pitot/static source error correction curves were added to ensure accurate pressure altitude and indicated airspeed readouts. A bootstrap HSI must be installed for heading information
