Shadin Avionics recently announced the completion and receipt of supplemental type certificates for the installation of a RemoteFlo fuel flow system on the Robinson R66 helicopter and Rolls-Royce RR300 engine. The RemoteFlo offers R66 pilots access to real-time fuel flow management information directly on their GPS or flight management system.
In addition to fuel flow, information available to the pilot includes specific range (including graphical range rings), fuel to destination, fuel reserve, endurance, fuel flow, fuel used and fuel remaining.
“The RemoteFlo has been on the market as a glass panel replacement for Shadin’s Digiflo, Miniflo and Microflo products on many aircraft types for several years,” said Brad Jacobson, certifications and field service manager at Shadin Avionics. “Now R66 operators can take advantage of the operational efficiency and safety enhancements with the quality and reliability that Shadin Avionics has become known for.”
The RemoteFlo is part of Shadin’s family of Federal Aviation Administration certified AIS data converters, designed to quickly respond to an ever-present demand for unique flight worthy data conversion applications on aircraft. The family includes the AIS-100 memory, AIS-360 digital, AIS-370 Ethernet, AIS-380 analog, AIS-450 synchro, AIS-460 military 1553, AIS-800 engine and the iPad AIM.
