HONEYWELL BENDIX KING® KI...
The HONEYWELL BENDIX KING® KI 525A HSI is a pictorial navigation indicator used in the KCS-55A compass system which also includes KG-102A Directional Gyro, KMT-112 Magnetic Azimuth Transmitter (flux valve), KA-51B Slaving Control & Compensator Unit and optionally KA 52/KA 57 Autopilot Adapters. It was a popular avionics upgrade for light aircraft until the advent of the Sandell electronic HSI and, more recently, glass-cockpit systems from Garmin, Aspen and others. This indicator combines the display functions of both the standard directional gyro and the course deviation indicator offering the pilot a single view of the horizontal navigation situation. It greatly simplifies course orientation, interception, and tracking resulting in less work from the pilot. Internally lighted, the KI 525A operates at 14 or 28 VDC.
The HONEYWELL BENDIX KING® KI 525A HSI is available in different models to serve application requirements:
- with bootstrap heading synchro to provide source of slaved heading information for any device, such as an autopilot
- with glideslope needle damping for use in high vibration environments such as helicopter
- capable of operating at either 30Hz or 400Hz
- capable of operating at 14 or 28VDC and 5 volt operation
