ALT 50A
- Lightweight, low-profile radio altimeter designed specifically for installation in light and medium, fixed-wing aircraft
- Supplies altitude information to flight control/autopilot system during approach phase of flight
- Typically used with 339H-3, 339H-4, 339H-4A (helicopter) analog indicators or DRI-55 digital display indicator, and two 437X-1/1A/1B or ANT-50A/51A/52 antennas depending on aircraft configuration
- Provides decision height selection from 0 to 2000 feet
- Provides four shop-adjustable altitude trips that can be adjusted to any altitude between 0 to 2000 ft. to provide switching to a flight director or other external system
- Product improved version of the ALT-50/860F-2 transceiver (i.e. improved altitude accuracy, transmitter output power, etc.)
- Versions available with altitude error reduction where unit will indicate lower altitude in the event of unit failure thus ensuring safe terrain separation
