Robinson Helicopter Company is now offering Shadin Avionics' fuel flow meter on new R66s equipped with Garmin GTN 6xx or 750 GPS navigators.
The fuel flow meter provides real-time fuel flow data to the GTN which in turn displays the fuel consumption rate along with fuel range rings on a moving map. Fuel used, fuel remaining, fuel to destination, and other real- time information is also available on accessory pages.
The installation adds approximately 2 lbs to the aircraft's empty weight and lists for $6,800.
