MGL Iefis Challenger 10.4 Touchscreen

The iEFIS is a comprehensive flight, engine and navigation instrument designed for Experimental and Light Sport aircraft. It is the next generation EFIS system utilizing a custom developed, pressure sensitive, sunlight readable touchscreen that can also be operated using gloves. iEFIS combines the undeniable advantages of simplified operation that a touchscreen can offer with rich traditional controls that are equally indispensable in the cockpit environment. The pressure sensitive touchscreen operates much like a tactile button preventing false activation when touching the screen in turbulent conditions. A simple but highly effective solution...

As an EFIS hardware platform, the iEFIS breaks the tasks it conducts down into separate modular multi-processor units that all communicate on a reliable CAN bus network (similar to the automotive industry). This results in a robust system in which each device on the network has very specific tasks to handle. This is coupled with intense low power design methods to further maximize overall system application and reliability.

The large amount of flexibility built into the base system allows the adaptation of the iEFIS to almost any mission and aircraft. The iEFIS screens can be completely edited by the user using a simple PC program to create any display the user desires. This makes the system absolutely the most customizable EFIS on the market today! Due to low system cost, the iEFIS is equally suited to light aircraft, gliders and rotorcraft, while providing enough flexibility to be utilized by multi-engine aircraft with up to 4 engines monitored, and by turbine aircraft and even spacecraft.

The principle guidance during the iEFIS development was complete, one stop, any function, any aircraft.

Flexibility

The iEFIS ships with nicely laid out standard screen page layouts. There can be up to 9 page views and these can be toggled by rotating the Page rotary control. You can choose from our standard screens (the unit ships with 5 predesigned screens) or you can use our free PC-based iEFIS Simulator and Designer editing software to design unique screens. Hundreds of highly configurable instruments and display items in various forms are available to choose from. From traditional analog gauge displays to bargraphs, digital readouts, horizons, HSIs, moving maps, etc. The choice is yours! And if you dont want to get too involved, just keep the standard screens, or contact us to design a special screen for you, free of charge. What this means to the pilot is that you can have ANYTHING you want displayed on the screen in ANY WAY!
