CAMBRIDGE INSTRUMENTS:
GPS Secure Flight Data Recorders

Cambridge instruments pioneered the world of Secure flight recording in 1993. They were the first units approved by the FAI and continue to lead the market with the best data recorders available today. This is so mainly due to quality and functionality. CAI has really tried to make these units completely intuitive to operate. They have done very well. We constantly find customers who have never read the manuals and are doing just fine! See a DEMO of the GPS-NAV.

Flight Analysis with 4 Second Resolution:

Cambridge flight analysis brings a whole new dimension to soaring. Flight logs from a contest can be transferred to the PC and checked in less than two minutes. Up to 11 hours of flight at 4 second intervals are displayed. Every aspect of soaring flight is shown in amazing detail. The color display shows, for the first time, differences in technique and strategy that separate the winners from the also-rans. This is both entertaining and valuable in all levels of training, from beginner to world team pilot.

We've traveled the gliding world and gained vital experience on the flight line:

• 1995 WGC - 900 flight logs

• 70+ GPS-NAVs - 1996 Europeans

• 90+ GPS-NAVs 1996 pre-Worlds

• 1997 NZ and Australian Nationals

• 1996/1997 South Africa - more than 25 world records

Model 20

The model 20 GPS-NAV system is our lowest cost and most popular system. It includes everything you need with a "black Box, an LCD, all PC software, and all installation wires, brackets, and manuals. It is a small ,light weight system with the antennae attached to the top of the box. The favorite location for this is behind the instrument panel immediately below the glare shield. If this mount is not convenient, think about the model 25.

Model 25

The model 25 GPS-NAV is functionally identical to the model 20 and physically very similar. they vary only with cost and Antennae location. The 25 has an external BNC plug and comes with a small flat plate external antennae included.
