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.

Benefits

  • Simplifies Hook TBO Tracking — Includes an “Hours of External Load” meter to record time against the hook time between overhaul (TBO) schedule.

  • Improved Contrast — Blanview LCD screen provides better visibility in sunlight.
     
  • Enhanced Performance Options — Can be configured to enable aircraft-specific performance increases, such as the extra load capabilities provided through the Airbus vehicle and engine multifunction display (VEMD).
