The Mission
A3
Avionics is improving the safety and comfort in the Sport Aviation
by introducing avis500, a reliable and affordable fully integrated
glass cockpit.
In general, a well-organized representation of the relevant flight
information in the cockpit is crucial for a safe operation. In
commercial aviation safety has been improved significantly through
introduction of glass cockpit systems, which integrate relevant
information and reduce the workload on the crew. Unfortunately, due
to high costs, complexity and weight of such systems, integrated
glass cockpits in sport planes are rather an exception. A typical
cockpit in a sport aircraft consists of a huge number of classical
instruments, which can result in an increased workload on the crew
and misinterpretation of the relevant data. In addition, the
records in the FAA accident data-base indicate that the largest
single cause of accidents in general aviation are pilot’s
errors resulting from a lack of situational awareness, or a loss of
control due to excess workload.
A3 Avionics therefore developed avis500, a very reliable and
affordable fully integrated glass cockpit system for sport
aviation, by using recently introduced cutting-edge
technologies.
