GH-3900 “a more customizable and affordable standby solution.” Designed to Level A software and hardware standards, the GH-3900 ESIS can satisfy airworthiness requirements for almost any transport category fixed- or rotor-wing aircraft, according to the company. The GH instrument series can be modified to match a wide range of primary systems. Hardware enhancements of the improved model include a wide variety of air-data and heading selections as well as optional built-in accelerometers providing external LRUs with relative data. Sensor and air-data enhanceL-3’s GH-3900 ments, according to the company, plus more efficient printed circuit-board designs, result in a smaller and lighter form factor than previous versions. “The trend toward more versatile PFD and MFD layouts that can be adjusted to meet a variety of missions is increasing in all flight operations categories,” said Larry Riddle, L-3 Avionics Systems vice president of business development. “Our next-generation GH-3900 features a virtually unlimited number of configuration options and can interface with a wide range of onboard equipment, creating a high degree of parity between the primary and standby instruments.” L-3 Avionics Systems is one of six companies in the L-3 Aviation Products business sector.

LATITUDE TECHNOLOGIES Flight data monitoring is growing in both capabilities and use, as the value of accessing and analyzing various aircraft parameters becomes increasingly accepted among operators. Often, however, unless an airframe comes from its manufacturer with the necessary hardware already installed or required by regulation, retrofit options are limited. Latitude Technologies, a leading supplier of satellite-based telephone, tracking and messaging avionics, introduced its new IoNode flight data

monitoring solutions as a possible solution. Available for both fixed- and rotor-wing aircraft, Latitude’s IoNode flight data monitoring products can continuously monitor and capture up to 32 gigabytes of aircraft-generated data to its own internal storage media and/or a USB flash drive. Using its expertise in satellitebased communications technology, the company also offers real-time download when an IoNode system is connected via the SkyNode satellite communications system. The hardware is lightweight and small, enabling easy installation, and is designed to work with industry-standard analysis software. When used with the SkyNode satcom system, the IoNode products can provide realtime alerting if an in-flight anomaly is suffered. Meanwhile, alerts and event-detection thresholds are customizable, allowing operators to monitor specific flight profiles, standard operating procedures and airmanship. Latitude Technologies holds and maintains Transport Canada, FAA and EASA STCs and other qualified data for its products; STCs for the IoNode product line are pending.
