It’s a little too quite, so I thought I would pass this along. It was on the Dynon’s website. This has been an Achilles heal for Dynon as the EFIS needs a pitot/static reference for correct attitude display. Get them while they’re hot (pun intended)!
Dynon Avionics is pleased to announce the much-anticipated heated version of its popular AOA/Pitot design. This all-new design integrates a nichrome heating element into a pitot that is the same form factor as the unheated version. This approach preserves the original wind tunnel-tested aerodynamic angle of attack design and facilitates replacement of Dynon's unheated AOA/Pitot for all those seeking added protection.
The heated AOA/Pitot includes a separate pitot heater controller that regulates the power to conserve energy and prevent dangerous temperatures. The controller also outputs a signal that can be wired to a warning light in the cockpit to indicate an inoperable or switched-off pitot heater.
Dynon is accepting orders beginning February 23, 2007. The part number for the Heated AOA/Pitot is 100677-000. The price is $450 and represents an excellent value when compared to other heated pitots and is still significantly less than competitive AOA systems.
