bpattison Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Need to add a radar altimeter and the choices seem to be the King KRA-10A or the FreeFlight Systems (formerly Trimble, then Terra before that) TRA-3500 unit. Anybody have good advice on ways to go here for our 206? Quote
EAGLE1 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Sorry I don't have the info on the brand we use readily available, but make sure you get one that is designed for HELICOPTERS and not airplanes. There is a difference. The helicopter ones are of course more expensive but it is a must have. As I understand it the airplane ones are angled out farther in front because the airplane flies faster and never stops before landing. The helicopter ones give you a true reading of what is directly under you. That is important if you are using it in a slow steep approach etc. Just my 2 cents. Quote
