Aerosonic Standby Altimeter
This unit is a 3-inch, non-encoding mechanical pressure altimeter manufactured by Aerosonic. It functions as a primary flight instrument designed to calculate and display an aircraft's current altitude using changes in ambient barometric pressure.
Description
This unit has been bench tested by an FAA certified repair station and it comes with an 8130 single release dated 2/11/2026.
Key Technical Capabilities
-
- Pneumatic Pressure Sensing: Utilizes a highly sensitive, internal aneroid diaphragm mechanism that expands or contracts in response to static air pressure changes from the aircraft’s pitot-static system, requiring no electrical system input for core altitude readings.
- Dual Scale Barometric Adjustment: Features a manual setting knob that lets the pilot calibrate the instrument to local altimeter settings across both standard formats (In. Hg and hPa/mb).
- Internal Illumination: Features integrated case lighting to provide reliable faceplate and needle visibility during night, low-light, and instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. [1]
- High-Resolution Display: Employs a multi-pointer configuration against a high-contrast background to give the flight crew rapid, precise altitude readings at a glance.
