L-3’s Next Generation Electronic Standby Instrument

System — GENESIS ESI-500 — is one of the most

advanced standby instruments designed specifically

for piston and turboprop aircraft and helicopters.

The compact unit is scalable and comes standard with

altitude, attitude, slip/skid, vertical speed and aircraft

track. Options are available for the display of

navigation information and Synthetic Vision (SynVis),

including terrain and obstacles. Magnetic heading is

an available option when coupled with the low cost and

compact MAG-500 magnetometer. The ESI-500 is

compatible with existing NAV radios and GPS

hardware. An internal lithium-ion battery pack

automatically powers the system without interruption

upon loss of main input power.
