Flight instruments provide the pilot all the information about the flight situation of the aircraft, such as altitude, airspeed and direction.The pilot uses different flight instruments to follow all the information needed to maintain the aircraft in flight, navigation and communications with air traffic management infrastructures.
Flight instruments are connected to satellites or to ground stations which provides indications on the position of the aircraft in the space.
Flight instruments include 3 sub-assemblies
- Sensor: Element whose characteristic varies proportionally with the phenomenon to be measured.
- Transformation system: Convert the measured value into a dimension that will allow the display system.
- Display system: Transform the measured value into a mechanical movement understandable by the pilot.

Urgent - Consider the exchange of your equipment. The exchange equipment can be sent the same day to make your plane immediately operational. This solution reduces the downtime of the aircraft. Not urgent - Our extensive network of maintenance workshops allows us to repair your navigation instruments at the best price. The delay will be longer than a standard exchange, but you will keep your equipment.Condition: Overhaul or Serviceable?
OH (Overhaul) - Equipment's condition is reset to new standards. At the end of work, the equipment has a release certificate and its potential (TSO) go back to zero. SV (Serviceable) or RP (Repaired) - The equipment is made operational and retains its initial potential. At the end of work, the equipment is delivered with a release certificate.
