digital and mechanical standby displays
Aerosonic, the industry leader in mechanical aircraft instruments introduces the next generation of stand-by indicators. Our full line of both three- and two-inch instruments offer digital accuracy and reliability that will track with the preliminary flight display and reduce life-cycle costs. They transfer valuable flight data to the pilot using only the air pressure (from the aircraft probes) as a power source. A few of the unique benefits these instruments provide include:
- Cost comparable to traditional mechanical instruments
- Data collection retrievable via USB port
- Built in test feature
- Accurate within 0.05% of full scale
- Tested to DO 160E
- Complies with DO178B
- FAA TSO approved
The Company also manufactures a state of the art Air Data Test Set used by aircraft OEMS, repair centers and the U.S. Military.
Along with an extensive line of traditional three-inch flight instruments, Aerosonic Clearwater offers a full line of space saving two-inch flight instruments that make an ideal standby suite for today's sophisticated glass panel cockpits.

Altimeter
Counter Drum pointer |
Aerosonic Altimeters measure the static (barometric) pressure and display it in terms of feet of altitude. There are several configurations, all of which operate within tight performance tolerances to insure accuracy and safety of flight. These instruments are calibrated in ranges from 20,000 ft. to 80,000 ft. |

Airspeed
Standard/Max Allowable/Mach |
Aerosonic Airspeed indicators measure the dynamic air pressure as it changes relative to the motion of the aircraft through the air. There are various types of airspeed indicators. Most common are Standard Single Pointer, Max Allowable, and Mach. Single pointer is, as it implies, a pointer referenced against a dial marking to display Indicated Air Speed. The max allowable airspeed incorporates a second pointer, which coincides with the airspeed pointer when maximum safe airspeed for the aircraft has been reached.
The mach airspeed indicator combines an airspeed pointer with a rotating sub-dial that provides the pilot with the aircraft speed in relation to the speed of sound.

Vertical Speed Indicator
Standard/Instantaneous |
Aerosonic Vertical Speed Indicators show the pilot the rate of change of pressure altitude derived from the static air source. These instruments range from rates of 2000 to 6000 feet per minute.
This instrument is also available with an acceleration sensitive element. These instantaneous Vertical Speed Indicators (IVSI) reduce the lag time of standard vertical speed indicators during rapid climb or descent. |

Cabin Indicator
Pressure/Rate/Differential |
| Aerosonic Cabin Indicators measure several pressure parameters inside the cabin. Cabin Pressure is measured in terms of Altitude, Rate of Change (ft. per min.), and Differential (PSI). Each of these indications provides the pilot with critical data for maintaining safety and comfort in flight. |
