CT4ME Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I hadn't seen this before, but it may have been around a while. On the Aero Jones website, down at the bottom of the page, a really nice 360 degree view in the cockpit. Best thing I've seen, besides setting in one... http://www.aerojones.com/?_l=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Cool...why does that CT have pitot tubes on both wings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 All CTLSs have redundant Dynon sensor sets. Two magnetometers, two OAT sensors, two pitots, twice the chance to injure yourself walking around the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 LOL, I figured the new planes probably just have two of everything. Both look like AoA pitots, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two magnetometers, two OAT sensors, two pitots, twice the chance to injure yourself walking around the plane. My CTLS doesn't have 2 pitot tubes. The 2 pitot tubes didn't come with the CTLS, it came later with the introduction of the 10" Skyview. ASTM requires a back up for digital instrument displays. The older Ct's with the D100/120 combos had room for the analog instruments in the panel. The 10" displays no longer had that room, so they added the extra AHARS and pitot to maintain the required redundancy. I don't know if any were delivered, but the Dynon 7" Skyview was the standard equipment for the CTLS with the 10" being an option. The 7" system still only had on pitot.

Yep, that's the reason for having the analog with the D100. The digital display also has to have a battery back up for night flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
