  EZ Pilot (Single Axis Autopilot)  
  The EZ-Pilot is a modern solid-state navigation system designed to accurately track a GPS flight plan from a handheld or panel mount GPS Receiver.  
 

Price $1,765

 
 

Standard and Advanced Features

 
     
  Navigation Modes  
  In order to provide maximum flexibility, The EZ-Pilot offers three levels of navigation.

1. Track mode (TRK)

This mode is used for navigation by tracking a stored GPS flight plan (or GOTO data). 

To use this feature, simply enter a flight plan into the GPS and press the Servo button and press the Mode button to enter into TRK mode; the EZ Pilot then precisely tracks the flight plan.

 
 

2.  Course mode (CRS)  

Course mode provides vector navigation by tracking a specific pilot-selected course, not previously stored in a GPS unit.  CRS mode uses GPS signal to provide the aircraft’s ground track.

 

 

 

 

 

To use this feature, a pilot would press the Mode button to enter into CRS mode.  Then, select a new bearing using the "L-R".  The new bearing will be displayed on the readout screen and the aircraft will now track the selected bearing.

 
  3.  Intercept mode (INT)

Intercept mode is used to intercept a predefined GPS desired track, or to steer the airplane back to the original flight plan.  INT mode uses GPS signal to provide the aircraft’s ground track.

To use this feature, a pilot would press the Mode button to enter into INT mode.  The EZ Pilot would then steer the aircraft toward an intercept course to the centerline of a selected flight plan.  The EZ Pilot will approach the centerline at a 25 degree angle, and switch to TRK mode at a distance from the centerline that is appropriate for the aircraft speed and the selected turn rate.  If the pilot wishes a sharper or more gradual intercept angle, he or she may use the L-R switch to alter the intercept course over the ground.

 
     
 

New "Gold Servo"

All EZ Pilot units ship with the new Gold Servo as standard equipment.

Gold Servo Features

  • All digital electronics for accuracy and reliability.

  • Dual microprocessors monitor all functions for safety (an industry first!).

  • Triple protected motor drivers continuously report their condition to the microprocessors.

  • Complete motor and gear train disconnect when not engaged - free from system drag.

  • Reliable slip clutch (adjustable to a given airplane) provides immediate pilot override.

 
     
 

Available Displays

Satisfying the need of every pilot is important to Trio Avionics.  This is the reason the EZ Pilot is available in two (2) different types of display.  Owners of aircrafts with large clear canopies will find a LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) more readable in high ambient light, while the VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) stands out when the instrument panel is shaded from the sun.
