Digital Air Data Display AD32

The AD32 Digital Air Data Display combines an air data computer with a digital altimeter in a 3ATI form factor. This makes the THOMMEN AD32 Air Data Display ideally suited for replacing standby altimeters in fixed wing & rotorcraft while minimizing installation efforts.

The AD32 measures pitot and static pressure using Vibrating Cylinder Technology (VCT) sensors. These sensors are highly accurate and stable making our AD32 virtually drift-free, effectively eliminating calibration and exceeding FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) accuracy requirements.

The AD32 Digital Air Data Display can be equipped for RVSM and/or NVIS compatibility to suit aircraft system requirements. Additional options allow the pilot to switch between metric and imperial altitude information.

Corrected altitude is displayed on a high contrast LCD in both digital and analog format. With a fast reacting stepper-motor driven pointer, the AD32 enables virtually “real-time” indication of the altitude during rapid vertical maneuvers.

The AD32 communicates via its ARINC429 interface. Data in-/output can be configured per requirements while keeping non-recurrent costs at a minimum. The extensive Built-In-Test system and rugged design guarantees safe operation.

With flexible configurability the AD32 is capable of supplying altitude pre-select, baro correction, discrete word output and more to next generation equipment with minimum alteration to the aircraft’s system architecture.

THOMMEN’s AD32 meets the requirements for multiple platforms and works in conjunction with TAWS, ACAS/TCAS, EGPWS, FMS systems, and ADS-B transponders. This unique air data computer & altimeter unit is suitable for most aircraft modernization and upgrade programs. Up to 2 x 16 SSEC curves are possible.

The AD32 Air Data Display is also available as ARINC408 or 3ATI form fit. ICAO encoded altitude output, AOA sensor input, and an RVSM version are optionally available as well as a variety of pneumatic adapters and installation kits.

Customers trust in our Digital Air Data Display AD32 for it’s unbeatable quality.
