Duchess Aspen Retrofit
Description
Duchess Aspen Retrofit
This installation replaced a tired A/H and HSI with an Aspen EFD1000 Pro Electronic Flight Display.
The instrument panel required no modification as the Aspen is designed to install in the same panel cutouts as two standard instruments.
The EFD1000 contains an ADAHRS (Air Data and Attitude Heading Reference System) which gives the pilot much more information that the old A/H and HSI could.
The extra features contained in the EFD1000 meant that the Assigned Altitude Indicator, Alt Preselect and Slaving Accessory could all be removed.
The old A/H was retained and re-located to the co-pilot's instrument panel as it is still required to drive the autopilot system.
