Mid-Continent Instruments have now completed work on providing a complete 2-inch pack of primary or standby instruments and have achieved full TSO certification for all three components including the 4200-10 Horizon, the MD15 two-inch altimeter and the MD25 two-inch airspeed indicator. Their small size saves space in crowded panels and provides either primary or standby instrumentation for any general aviation flight deck.
The MD15 is a two-inch, three-pointer altimeter offered in a 20,000-ft. model, with a barometric scale in Mb and a right hand baro set knob. The instrument is FAA TSO-C10b certified.
The MD25 2-inch Airspeed Indicator is offered in multiple ranges: 160, 200, 260, 300, 350 and 400 knots. Range markings can be added to meet specific aircraft requirements. ( range marking incurs an additional charge and may take two extra weeks for delivery) The instrument is FAA TSO-C2d certified for fixed-wing or rotorcraft operation.
Both the MD15 and MD25 instruments feature anti-reflective glass to enhance visibility and reduce pilot fatigue. Units have a field-replaceable light-emitting diode (LED) or incandescent light tray available in 5, 14 and 28 VDC. The MD25 and MD15 are typically rear-mounted and can be installed individually or as part of a three-unit standby package — with the 4200 attitude indicator.
The new 2-inch instrument pack is designed to meet the growing demand for smaller standby instruments in glass panel flight decks these days. The Mid-Continent standby package provides the time-proven information that pilots require without taking much panel space.
