EKP IV Electronic Knee Pad

New generation of portable navigation instruments for the aeronautical market. EKP IV has a large 7 inch LCD screen, bright and visible in sunlight and is equipped with internal batteries for emergency use. Through the strategic positioning of menu buttons along the sides of the streamlined and lowered case, the unit can operate in both horizontal and vertical mode.

EKP IV uses a 512 MB Compact Flash (CF) memory card. The cartography provides complete coverage of continental coverage for the Americas or alternatively for Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia, and includes regional road maps and Jeppesen data. EKP-IV uses the Jeppesen aeronautical database with coverage of over 300 Italian ULM airfields.

The advanced navigation software offers multiple functions:

- Flight planning (up to 15 flight plans of over 100 legs each) Waypoint approach indication (stage)
- Different display modes: full map, map & HSI, nav-data.
- Import and export of flight plans, waypoints and routes directly from EKP to your PC
- Full integration with the TELEFIX fleet management system: waypoints (intermediate stages) and routes can be received directly from the TELEFIX control center.
- The cartographic map presents relief coloring that provides instant information on land elevation
- On-board computer: fuel, winds, timer, trip computer
- Editable aircraft checklists
- Trip simulator
- Integration with other on-board navigation systems: autopilot, GPS, external antenna
- Private Airports database (USA only) included
- Low Airways (or Victor Airways) included
- TAWS -Terrain Awareness and Warning System
- Practical NAVDATA page, to have all the information you need at a glance
- Compatibility with the PCAS XRX collision avoidance system
- Ability to load photos on the navigator and assign them to an airport
- Integration with other on-board navigation systems: autopilot, GPS, external antenna
