Winter Safety and Operations advisory circular.
Features:
- Fully approved by the FAA in Airport Winter Safety and Operations, Appendix 5, Performance Standards for Decelerometers. Prints out test results as equired in Appendix 5 par 3a, 3b & 3d.
- Accelerometer, power supply and computer system self contained in one module to insure easy installation and operation.
- Quick clutch easy leveling mounting kit provided to prevent false reading due to bounce or ambient vibration.
- Two built-in levels (pitch & roll). Easily programmable for proper identification of all runways and taxiways.
- Does all calculations as required by averaging 3 tests per zone
and 9 tests per runway.
- Vehicle does not need to come to a complete stop to calculate runway
friction.
- ABS compatible, however FAA requires that the ABS be disabled during testing.
- Automatically sorts runway zones.
- Airport name and operator name and
ID entry.
- Two axis accelerometer (X longitudinal & Y lateral). Y axis may be used to detect yaw error when braking.
- Comes with thermal micro
printer.
- Wireless transfer of data to tower or office from
vehicle (optional).
- Surface and ambient air temperature recorded with each test (optional).
- Graphic display 128 x 64 dot EL backlit LCD.
- Records and displays time, acceleration in 2-axis, speed,
distance and additional sensors every .01 second. Also
displays average acceleration & peak acceleration.
- Recalls information from previous runs on the display.
- A six channel data acquisition input is included to allow up to 6
additional sensors to be added.
- 16 key EL backlit keypad.
- All modular connectors.
- USB port for transferring files to a computer.

English units.
- Saves 21.8
minutes (1,308 seconds) of data in Flash memory for
transferring to a computer, printing or recalling a previous
test.
- Up to 255 runs stored.
