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.
