FlightView EFIS

For Experimental and Light Sport Aircraft

A complete operating system for your aircraft: Flight instruments. Engine instruments. Situational awareness. Remote interfaces with autopilots, transponders, and COM radios.

Primary Flight Display (PFD) uses a modern tapes-and-pointers layout to display attitude, airspeed, altitude, coordination.

The Engine Monitoring System (EMS) tracks and displays over 30 separate parameters, keeping your power plant operating at peak performance.

Moving Map Navigator (MFD) includes airspace, traffic, and ADS-B weather information plus terrain awareness tools.

Digital Flight Deck iPad App

Convert any modern iPad into a state-of-the-art, touch-screen digital flight deck with Primary Flight Display and Moving Map Navigator

Complete Instrumentation: The app includes a PFD with a full set of flight instruments, a detailed moving map for VFR navigation and situational awareness, an engine status display, and easily accessible secondary screens for COM radio, transponder, autopilot, and flight planning.

Screen Layouts: The app supports multiple layouts — full-screen PFD, full-screen MFD, and split screen. The engine data bar can be toggled on and off. Each iPad can be assigned a primary function (PFD or MFD) and a primary side (left or right). In split-screen mode the app protects the primary content on the primary side, ensuring that the user always has a clear view of the most important information.

Compatibility: Works on all current iPad models from Mini to the 12.9″ Pro running iOS 13 or later.

Updates: Software updates are pushed automatically through Apple App Store. Updates to other components (e.g. FlightView FDC firmware) are automatically downloaded from Falken’s servers and can be installed directly from the app.

Core Hardware Kit

A Network of Advanced Components Supplying Flight, Engine, and Situational Data

The core components — Flight Data Computer and Engine Monitoring System — are lightweight and easy to install/connect using pre-built harnesses provided with the kit. The system also includes interfaces to a growing list of third-party equipment, including communications radios, transponders, and autopilots.

Fight Data Computer (FDC)

The FDC is the core of the system. It serves as a hub, relaying data between the other system components. Displays connect using Ethernet or Wifi. Peripheral devices interface using RS-232, RS-485, CAN bus, or USB. A powerful multi-core processor allows it to drive up to three FlightView displays and up to three additional Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) applications. FDC functions include:

Air Data (Pitot, static, AoA, OAT)
AHRS Inertial Measurement Unit
VFR Navigation System
WAAS GPS Receiver
Dual-Band ADS-B Receiver
Wifi Access Point
Ethernet Interface
Dual CAN bus interface
9 RS-232 Serial Ports
2 RS-485 Serial Ports
10 GPIO Ports
Remote control drivers for autopilots, VHF COM radios, transponders

Installation: Simply connect it to the ship’s power, connect peripheral devices, and attach ADS-B antennas. The process is quick and easy and most homebuilders can complete it in just a few hours. Pitot, static, and AoA connections are standard 1/8″ NPT female and can easily be adapted to any commonly-used PEX tubing size.

Engine Monitoring System (EMS)

The EMS uses standard engine probes to monitor more than 30 different engine data parameters. It includes interfaces for engine speed (RPM), manifold pressure, oil pressure and temperature, fuel pressure, fuel flow, and fuel level (2 tanks), voltage, amperage, and 16 thermocouple amplifiers for EGT, CHT, TIT. Two auxiliary analog inputs are available for user-selected functions including header tank level, gearbox temperature, liquid coolant temperature, flap setting, and trim setting.

Installation: Instead of complicated wiring harness, all sensor connections are made using industrial spring clip connectors. Simply push the wire (optionally with a tip ferrule) into the appropriate port. To release, press the button to release the spring clip and pull. This makes both installation and maintenance a lot easier.

FlightDock and FlightBar

Keep Cool and Fly On

Falken’s unique mounting and cooling system and intuitive tactile controller keep your displays running in even the most challenging of conditions.

iPad Displays

FlightView EFIS supports up to 3 Apple iPads. Our innovative FlightDock and FlightBar make great tablets into world-class flight displays.

Installation: FlightDock quickly and easily installs on the front of your instrument panel or on a RAM mount. Installing and removing the iPad is even easier.

Active Cooling: FlightDock’s cooling system is thermally controlled, blowing a constant stream of air at low volume when things are cool, and blasting the iPad at high speed when things get hot.

Real Controls: FlightBar adds a set of real knobs and buttons, allowing easier operation in turbulent conditions. Each FlightBar connects to its assigned iPad using Bluetooth connection.
