Overview

The Perfect Fit™ for Helicopter Flight Decks

The EFI-890H offers flexibility for installation as a stand-alone Primary Flight Display (PFD) or Multi-Function Display (MFD), as well as a fully integrated PFD / Navigation Display (ND) cockpit system. The unit is optimally sized, featuring a lightweight, compact housing while offering a large, 8.9-inch diagonal active-matrix LCD display.

This high-resolution, high-contrast display provides superior readability throughout a full range of ambient lighting conditions including bright sunlight and dim nighttime environments. Extremely wide horizontal and vertical viewing angles are also accommodated.

For missions flown under night vision goggles, the EFI-890H includes a model option with lighting filters uniquely adapted for nighttime tactical missions.

The EFI-890H features a unique LED backlight system with reduced power requirements that produces lower unit operating temperature for superior reliability. This LED backlight system produces brighter, clearer displays with improved color uniformity and higher performance in low luminance operations.

Mission Performance for IFR Conditions

The EFI-890H supports an array of information and display capabilities for helicopter operators. To complement the display of primary flight data, a collective cue flight guidance display provides for optimal collective control when in “4D” (4 axis) coupled autopilot mode, to aid in maintaining the desired flight path. Visual guidance on the PFD is presented in two configurable formats to meet operator preference, the “dual cue” cross pointer or “single cue” V-bar overlay.

The EFI-890H offers an advanced, large-format instrument suite that interfaces with many of your existing aircraft / flight deck systems. It supports the display of Enhanced Vision Systems (EVS), broadcast weather, infrared and color cameras as well as a host of other interfaces.
