D2A Recalls Chelton EFIS Component

Direct-To Avionics (D2A) announced Tuesday a full recall of the Crossbow 425EX AHRS used in experimental Chelton Electronic Flight Instrumentation Systems (EFIS), saying the AHRS has been “plagued by performance and reliability problems” and will not be used in future units. The component will be replaced by the Pinpoint Inertial GADAHRS (GPS / Air Data / Attitude and Heading Reference System), which D2A said has proven to exceed all of its performance and reliability parameters. D2A is the exclusive distributor of Chelton’s experimental EFIS line, and also participates in the development and evaluation of future Chelton systems for both certified and experimental aircraft. “Direct-To Avionics is committed to providing the best, most reliable, and most accurate components for our Chelton EFIS systems. Our customers want to know that when they’re flying with their families, they’re flying with the highest quality, best performing equipment available,” said Kirk Hammersmith, president of Direct-To Avionics, in a news release.
