The LCD switch provides a graphical message display for system messages, alerts and warning advisories. A rotary encoder is employed to make fine adjustments to aircraft altitude, change system settings and adjust display characteristics.
Safety is #1. The EZ-1 Altitude Hold system incorporates an all-new "Gold Standard" servo that was designed with safety as the prime consideration. Some safety features are:
Complete motor gear train disconnect when not engaged, free from any system drag. Reliable slip clutch provides immediate pilot override. Dual microprocessors in the servo (an industry first). The main processor handles all control functions and communications to the AH (Altitude Hold) module, and has disconnect authority if it senses a problem. A second, supervisory processor monitors all system activity and communications and will also disconnect the servo if it detects irregularities. AH module monitors G forces. Will disconnect the servo to prevent high wing stress. Also releases the servo when sensing prolonged (pilot induced) clutch slip. Triple protected motor drivers continuously report their condition to the processors. System provides for remote servo disconnect switch on control stick. Audio alert upon servo disconnect.

EZ-1 ALTITUDE HOLD
Single axis altitude control system. Provides pitch stabilization and accurate altitude hold using MEMS gyro and sensitive altimeter. LCD switch/display provides a graphical message display for system messages, alerts and warning advisories. Rotary encoder allows fine altitude adjustments. "G" force limiting to prevent high wing stress - alarms and disconnects when sensing high sustained G loads. Remote servo disconnect. Senses and displays pitch trim requirements. Weight - Electronic Components: 8 ounces/226 grams Servo: 27 ounces/765 grams.

EZ-2 ALTITUDE CONTROL
Same physical configuration and features as EZ-1 but adds climb/descent capability and airspeed capture. Pitot port on the electronics module enables airspeed sensing to prevent stalling or over-speeding the aircraft. Pilot Command Steering allows climbs and descents on vertical speed or airspeed.
PN 11-06551 |
Features
- Vertical Speed Select - Set Climb or Descent Rate
- Min and Max Airspeed Limits - System Measures Airspeed and Prevents Autopilot from Stalling or Over-speeding the Aircraft. Pilots Set Appropriate Limit Settings for Their Aircraft
- Vertical PCS (Pilot Command Steering) - Pilot May Choose "Climb-Descend on Vertical Rate" or "Climb-Descend on Airspeed"
|
|
EZ-3 ALTITUDE CONTROL
Same as EZ-2, but adds Altitude Pre-Select. Pilots may enter climb/descent rates and target altitude. Upon reaching the target altitude the EZ-3 will level the aircraft and automatically enter Altitude Hold mode.
PN 11-06552 |
Features
- Altitude PreSelect - Set
Target Altitude
- Fully Adjustable Climb/Descent Rates - Pilots may also use PCS (Pilot Command Steering) to Transition to "Climb-Descent on Airspeed" at any time.
- Smooth Intercept of Target Altitudes
