product includes appropriate software, a joystick for a laptop
or desktop computer and the X-Plane plug-in.
The application is designed for all Jetcraft HUD Vision
Access customers, all pilots and avionics specialists. The
company said the application may, in the future, be used as
part of operator recurrent training.
Jetcraft’s HUD Vision Access EFVS solution for aftermarket aircraft combines Kollsman’s EVS-II and AT-HUD technologies, giving pilots greater-detail images through rain, snow,
smog and even heavy fog. The two systems combine to form
the world’s most advanced EFVS solution for high-end business jets from a single OEM. The same basic hardware currently is in operation as both standard and optional equipment
on Gulfstream corporate jets, and has been implemented
throughout the FedEx wide-body aircraft fleet.

McCoy told attendees at the AEA Convention that IS&S’s
new unit provides primary flight information including airspeed, altitude, barometric correction, an attitude indicator
and a slip/skid indicator, plus lateral and vertical (glideslope)
deviation, vertical speed, HSI/compass information and VOR
bearing in one instrument.
The ISU features lightweight, low-power draw, multiple
interfaces and options, is scalable to accommodate emerging technologies, and can be customized by the operator. It
supports existing aircraft wiring and incorporates a proven
air-data interface module. Optional configurations can include
night vision, an external magnetometer interface, standby
radio management capability and RVSM compliance. It also
incorporates a capacitive touchscreen, supports video input
and uses a USB interface, along with Ethernet, Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth.
The company said its ISU also has an optional battery
module providing one hour of operation of the unit during
emergency conditions or electrical system failures. The ISU
includes the latest breakthrough in micro-electromechanical
systems gyro technology coupled with unparalleled history of
IS&S air data, RVSM and flat-panel display system experience. The result is a highly reliable and accurate standby
display system for retrofit and OEM applications.

Ken Elliott, vice president of avionics systems, introduced
Jetcraft’s newest offering: the HUD Vision Access application
provided by www.FlyRealHUDs.com, a plug-in simulation
for head-up displays and enhanced flight vision systems for
X-Plane flight simulation software users. The application provides a lifelike “HUD with EVS” simulation for Jetcraft customers and allows customers to explore the system’s operation.
X-Plane is a popular PC/Mac aircraft simulation platform
that includes a number of business jet models. Jetcraft’s application, designed by FlyRealHUDs.com, enables Jetcraft’s
HUD Vision Access customers to “fly” lifelike, specific
approaches around the world using the application. Although
the HUD simulation is generic, most of the symbology is the
same as incorporated into the Jetcraft HUD Vision Access
system. Elliot told attendees at the AEA Convention the flying experience is realistic to actual HUD operations. The new

Jupiter Avionics Corp. is a
North American company
specializing in the design
and manufacture of
aircraft audio controllers,
audio panels, intercoms
and audio systems. Mitch
Stinson, president of Jupiter
Avionics, introduced his
company’s latest product, the
wi-JAC JA6x-001 Wireless
Jupiter Avionics’ wi-JAC

Wireless Headset/Intercom
Adapter system
Adapter system, to attendees at the AEA Convention.
Stinson also introduced the
JA70-005 and JA72-005 Dzus glove box products for in-panel
storage.
The new wi-JAC wireless, full-duplex intercom system is
designed to facilitate maintenance, inspection and installation
activities, and consists of two components. The JA61 plugs
directly into the aircraft audio system via a standard headset
jack while the companion JA60 connects to a standard aircraft headset, and attaches to the user’s belt. Together, the
two separate components allow aircraft personnel to be unrestrained inside and outside the aircraft yet still communicate
via the installed intercom system.
To ensure ease of operation, the JA60 headset adapter
features only essential controls (VOX, volume control knobs
and an on/off button) and is configured for each installation
using the JA99-001 configuration cable and downloading the
system configuration settings from a PC into the onboard
nonvolatile devices. Jupiter Avionics said its JA6x intercom
system is preferable to Bluetooth, thanks to that technology’s
limitations.
Meanwhile, Jupiter Avionics’ Dzus rail glove box products
makes quick work of finishing a new panel installation by
