Bendix / King ED-551A EFIS Display
BendixKing ED-551A Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) Display Unit featuring a black faceplate, 5 VAC/VDC lighting, and enhanced High-Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF)/Lightning protection. Operating within the Honeywell EFS-50 system architecture, this panel-mounted CRT unit functions as a primary flight visualization terminal. It does not generate independent flight parameters; rather, it decodes and displays specialized navigation, attitude, and radar telemetry driven by a remote symbol generator.
Description
This unit has been bench tested by an FAA certified repair station and it comes with an 8130 single release dated 9/23/2026.
Key Technical Capabilities
- System-Driven Signal Conversion: Converts analog X/Y-axis deflection signals and RGB video inputs from an external SG-465 Symbol Generator into calibrated cockpit symbology.
- Role-Configurable Operation: Architected for multi-role field assignment, allowing the hardware to be configured as an Electronic Attitude Director Indicator (EADI), an Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI), or a dedicated Multi-Function Display (MFD).
- Enhanced Symbology Rendering: Features a larger footprint and an advanced raster/stroke writing scheme that renders larger text characters and flight symbols than preceding legacy ED-551 architectures.
- Isolated Power Bus Routing: Draws operating current directly from the aircraft’s 27.5 VDC power bus rather than pulling current from the external symbol generator, preserving system-wide electronic isolation.
- Thermal Regulation Monitoring: Features an internal fan blower managed by a dedicated internal airflow sensor. The sensor triggers an immediate automated error annunciation on the CRT screen if insufficient cooling velocity is detected.
- Weather Radar Overlay: Decodes multi-channel video data paths to overlay real-time color weather radar sweeps directly across active EHSI or MFD navigational maps.
- Environmental and Compliance Ratings: Certified to FAA TSO-C113 specifications with structural hardening against extreme environmental variables up to a maximum operating ceiling of 55,000 feet.
