Microair Avionics this week unveiled the T4000 pitot probe that incorporates an air data computer, attitude and heading reference system (AHRS), angle of attack sensor, static port, anti-icing heater, temperature probe, and magnetometer. Announced during the new product introduction session at the AEA Convention, the integrated probe and air data computer can be installed under FAA non-required safety-enhancing equipment guidelines and is a direct replacement for AN5812 pitot probes.
