Goodrich's electronic standby instrument system receives FAA certification

Goodrich Corporation has received Technical Standard Order (TSO) approval for its new GH-3100 Electronic Standby Instrument System (ESIS).The GH-3100 ESIS has been selected as standard equipment for the new Gulfstream V-SP aircraft as well as the Agusta AB139 helicopter program.

The GH-3100, based on the GH-3000, has an integrated air data sensor card with pitot static connections directly to the unit, eliminating the need for a remote mounted air data computer.

Designed to replace conventional electro- mechanical standby attitude, airspeed and altitude instruments, the solid- state GH-3100 ESIS is capable of providing all three functions, plus heading, slip/skid, navigation data and vertical speed, in a single 3" flat-panel display. It uses an Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) that provides exceptional readability in direct sunlight as well as dark cockpit environments. The multi-function display offers clear off-axis viewing and anti-aliasing of graphics for crisp readouts at any attitude.

The GH-3100 can be customised to visually match the aircraft's primary flight display system, providing an additional measure of safety when transitioning from primary to standby instrumentation. The system has the ability to interface with the aircraft's navigation systems, providing more interfaces and flexibility than any other standby on the market today.
