Target Application
Aircraft instrumentation calibration.
Description
The 6580 Air Data Calibrator can be used to test and calibrate altimeters, airspeed / Mach indicators, Climb indicators, Flight data recorders, Air data computers, and EPR indicators.
This rack-mountable Calibrator meets all RVSM requirements and has built-in pressure and vacuum pumps. The use of profiles makes it possible for the operator to run through a test using only a single key on the front panel keypad of these units.
It can also be controlled externally as part of an ATE system.
Technical Reference
Built-in pump calibration.
Rack-mounted precision.
