Trakka Launches New TLX Searchlight with Dual Day/Night Camera Option
Avionics announced the accomplishment of the Explorer with the InSight Integrated Flight Deck. The successful testing was achieved at MDHI’s Mesa, Arizona, facility in multiple phases and concluded on February 17th.
“This is an important step in the development of the new avionics suite for the MD 902,” said Grady Dees, Universal Avionics director of technical sales. “Flight testing was conducted in multiple phases including ground run operations, ramp area hover/maneuvering, and airport area operations with speed and altitude buildups,” he
“The MD test team was supported by an on-site team from Universal Avionics and our partner, Howell Instruments,” said Carl Schopfer, chief and engine functions performed as expected. Flight testing will continue with the current and additional systems integrations are planned
MDHI is the launch OEM customer with the InSight Integrated Flight Deck for production and deck features two or three large format high- resolution LCD displays with LED backlighting. A collective-mounted cursor slew switch allows for a unique point-and-click display control allowing pilots to keep “hands on, head up” during all
Trakka Systems recently announced the option for a dual sensor TV/TI payload co-located with the TLX searchlight. The TLX already offers a 25 percent brighter beam using less power draw, combined with expanded six-position with geo-axis lock. These improvements are now expanded by a dual-sensor payload option which allows for improved situational awareness and recording either by day or night, with the searchlight beam on or off.
“At Trakka Systems, we are 100 percent committed to on- going innovation and customer satisfaction” says Andrew Phillips, exective vice president of global sales. “Yet again searchlight/camera combination. The new dual-camera option for the TLX opens up exciting new possible applications for users across our traditional market sectors. It goes about safety and situational awareness, especially for EMS and SAR operations – to help the crews to see, to save, and protect.”
