SWFA UH-1 / SW204 / SW205 / SW205T UPGRADE AND MODERNIZATION

RADAR ART 2100 AVIONIC UPGRADE

  • Setting a new standard in value and performance, the RDR 2100 Digital  Weather Radar provides a vertical picture of a pilot-selected cross-  section of the storm, offering the best view available to general  aviation. The simple press of a button allows you to analyze a storm  segment vertically, giving you the information you need to determine  the scope of the storm.
  • You can examine the angle of the cell's leading edge to determine  direction of movement, monitor the tops of cells to see how quickly a  storm is building, and easily distinguish between ground and weather  returns. The system is fully stabilized to +/- 30° combined pitch and  roll, and antenna stabilization keeps your screen clear of ground  returns during moderate aircraft maneuvers. You can choose between  two antennas, a 10-inch or 12-inch, to fit a wide variety of airframe  applications
  • The RDR 2100 uses intuitive colors (green, yellow, red, magenta), and  six ranges (10 nm to 320 nm) to depict the weather intensity, creating  a clear picture of the weather and making it easy for you to avoid  danger. The horizontal scan provides an angle of 120°; the vertical scan  an angle of 60°. Using Sensitivity Time Logic, the system can correlate  target distance with intensity, and its attenuation compensation  reduces shadowing.
  • The system is fully Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) compatible using ARINC 429 and ARINC 453 data busses. It also  features a Multi-Function Display (MFD) interface, fault annunciation,  TILT readout on display, and independent dual indicator operation.
