C-40 Cockpit Indicator
For Use with Onboard Weighing Systems
The cockpit indicator is a key component of your Onboard Weighing System as it displays the weight of the cargo hook load to the pilot during external load missions. Our latest generation C-40 model builds on the legacy of its predecessor, the C-39 Cockpit Indicator, and has been designed from the ground up to incorporate operator-requested features to measure and display the cargo weight.
