Introduction
The Blaze FLIGHT-3 is a compact, multifunction complete primary flight system intended as a main flight instrument on
smaller aircraft or as a backup / secondary flight instrument in larger aircraft. This 3 1/8” (80mm) instrument provides
many functions from an altimeter, airspeed indicator, VSI indicator, fuel level, fuel flow, RPM, volts, current display and
many more. The FLIGHT-3's light weight, small size and high level of functionality makes it an excellent choice for many
applications.
The FLIGHT-3 makes an ideal companion to the Blaze EMS-2 universal engine monitor for a compact, low cost yet highly
functional and complete cockpit solution.
The FLIGHT-3 has the following features:
Altimeter
The altimeter contains an internal high accuracy 24 bit digital altitude sensor which calculates altitude from -1500 ft up to
a maximum of +35000 ft. The FLIGHT-3 outputs various formatted RS232 serial data protocols compatible with serial in-
put transponders such as that from Garmin, Magellan, Northstar, Trimble, Microair etc. The altimeter can display altitude
in feet or meters and local pressure can be set in millibars or inches of mercury. The FLIGHT-3 also provides a parallel
Gillham code interface when used in conjunction with the MGL Avionics CNV-ALT.
ASI (Airspeed Indicator)
Airspeed can be indicated in statute miles per hour (mph), kilometers per hour (km/h) or nautical miles per hour (kts). The
FLIGHT-3 also provides a programmable Vs and Vne airspeed alarm output. ASI sensitivity can be calibrated by the user
to cater for errors caused by pitot tube placement.
The FLIGHT-3 can measure airspeed from 20mph to 250mph and the FLIGHT-3HS (High Speed version) can measure
airspeed from 20mph to 320mph. Both are well suited to slower aircraft due to very good sensitivity and linearity at low air
speeds.
VSI (Vertical speed indicator)
The VSI indicator can be displayed in either feet/minute (ft/min) or meters/second (m/s). The VSI can be calibrated by the
user once the instrument has been installed in the aircraft.
