ams2000.jpg Shadin AMS-2000 Altitude Management/Alerting System
$1,595.00 $1,489.00 On Sale!

The Shadin AMS-2000 is our most affordable and easy to use altitude management and alerting system. Although packed with features, the AMS-2000 has just one dial and an adjustable bright red display. Simply enter the current barometric pressure and your assigned altitude. Adjustable audio and visual deviation warnings will help keep you safe of altitude violations. The system will guide you through climb and smooth capture of your target altitude as a level-off warning is sounded and displayed at a distance from assigned altitude that you assign. It provides Time-based altitude alerting (as opposed to fixed altitude buffers), notifying you fifteen (15) seconds before an altitude target or limit is reached, regardless of rate of climb or descent. For effortless approaches, enter your destination elevation for a gear-down reminder at 1000 ft., and for subsequent alert and display at MDA or decision height intercept. At any time, enter OAT and the system automatically calculates and displays density altitude, and true aircraft/engine performance percentages. It even shows Real-time IVS, without the inherent lag of the aircraft's static system. For the greatest degree of accuracy add the Shadin Falcon high resolution encoder which provides time-based capture of target altitude, instantaneous vertical speed, and digital display of altitude in 10 ft. instead of 100 ft. increments.

HOT TIP! Once again Shadin brings the sophistication of altitude management and alert systems to a down to earth price. Most pilots have never flown with an altitude management system so they don't know what they're missing. Once you use it you'll never want to be without it. Anyone that wants to fly IFR safely in today's' airspace needs to seriously consider. Price does not include optional transducer(s) or kit. Call APG-Eastern Avionics with the model number and serial number of your aircraft for accessory prices. the AMS-2000.

P2 SkyBuddy Heading and Altitude Reminder System
$249.00 $289.00 On Sale!

The P2 Sky Buddy is a new device that's becoming very popular. Remembering heading and altitude instructions from ATC is a lot simpler with the P2. No more scratch pads, no more setting altitudes in your ADF head and no fumbling for a pen and paper. Whether you fly VFR or IFR, this portable, compact device does it all for you.

Simply plug the Sky Buddy into a power source (either 12 or 24 volt), and you are up and running. The unit can be flush mounted with Velcro (included) or an optional dash mounting bracket can be ordered.

Easy-to-read LED displays are used to insure clear viewing in both daylight and nighttime conditions. The illumination has five selectable levels to suit your individual needs and is quickly changed by pushing the "DIM" button.

Operation is as simple as twisting a knob. By turning either knob clockwise, the numbers increase. Turning a knob counter-clockwise, the numbers decrease. When a knob is pushed in momentarily, the pilot then has the ability to change the resolution (see specifications) to suit the situation. For example, when being vectored, you will use the HEADING window in 5 degree increments and when flying an airway or shooting an approach, the 1 degree increments would be more appropriate. The same operation applies in the ALTITUDE reminder window. While enroute, set your cruise altitude with the appropriate resolution of 100 or 1000¹ (say 4500¹ VFR or 5000¹ IFR). When on an approach, the pilot could set the MDA, say 1120¹, or field elevation rounded to the nearest 10 feet.

The Sky Buddy is made to professional standards both inside and out. The enclosure and knobs are machined from aluminum, not plastic, and has a tough black matte finish so as to withstand years of usage. The product is backed by a 12 month factory warranty.

The Sky Buddy is ideal for any pilot whether your are a student, flight instructor, crop duster, professional pilot or whether you fly VFR or IFR. The number of possible applications is up to your imagination.

SPECIFICATIONS: Installation: Portable; dash mount (velcro) or optional dash mounting bracket. Power source: 6¹ cord w/cigarette lighter adapter (included) Voltage requirements: Either 12 or 24 VDC Size: 3.5" W, 1.5" H, 1" D Weight: 5.5 oz. Lighting control: Pushbutton; 5 levels Altitude range: 0 to 50,000 ft. Warranty: 12 months Resolution: Heading: 5 and 1 degree increments Altitude: 0-10,000 ft, 10 and 100¹ increments 10,000-18,000 ft, 100 and 500¹ increments 18,000-50,000 ft, 1000¹ increments.
