Next-generation Thommen Stratotimer Ready to Fly

Swiss aircraft instrument manufacturer Thommen Aircraft Equipment introduced its new Stratotimer multi-function chronograph at Heli-Expo 2017.

Available in two-inch and three-inch sizes, the Stratotimer can be customized to users’ needs, with capabilities that include showing backup information such as passive TCAS, ADS-B IN traffic, engine monitoring and other main instrument indications. The Stratotimer also features an Arinc 429 interface (four inputs and two outputs), and it can be synchronized to GPS Sync master/slave, according to Thommen. The unit’s display can be quickly set to full color, night-vision imaging system (NVIS) green or NVIS red.

According to Thommen, its “digital clocks can easily replace old devices without major change on the cockpit instrument panel or the aircraft electrical installation.” This includes clocks such as the ADS Transicoil/Astrotech LC-90/LC-90SR.
