hour (mph), kilometers per hour (km/h) or nautical miles per hour (knots)
with the air-distance being displayed in corresponding units. The analog
airspeed display can be scaled according to the aircraft’s flying speed
range and markers for Vs, Vf, Vno and Vne can be set. ASI sensitivity can
be calibrated by the user to cater for errors caused by pitot tube
placement. The ASI-3 instrument measures airspeed from 16mph to 250mph and is well suited to slower aircraft due to very good sensitivity and linearity at low air speeds.

output that, when used in combination with MGL Avionics CNV-AT, provides a
parallel Gillham code interface for transponders. The altimeter can
display altitude in feet or meters. Local pressure can be set in millibars
or inches of Mercury. The airspeed indicator can show air speeds
from 16 to 250 mph and is well suited for use in slow aircraft due to very
good sensitivity and linearity at low air speeds. The airspeed indicator
as well as altimeter can interface to a static port and the airspeed
indicator is based on a standard aviation pitot tube. The airspeed
indicator can be set to indicate speeds in statute miles per hour (mph),
kilometers per hour (km/h) or nautical miles per hour (knots) with the
air-distance being displayed in corresponding units. The airspeed
sensitivity can be calibrated by the user to cater for errors caused by

FF-3 (Fuel Management System)
Latest Firmware Revision: 2.00
The FF-3 fuel
management computer is a 3 1/8” instrument intended for efficient
monitoring of fuel related information for single or dual fuel tanks
onboard small aircraft and related applications. The FF-3 unit can connect to one or two fuel
flow senders, one or two fuel level senders or both. Full functionality is
available with both senders or only with a fuel flow sender using
calculated fuel levels based on fuel usage. Differential fuel flow
calculations are also supported for fuel return systems. Fuel injector
systems are also supported. Standard automotive fuel level senders can be
used, even with odd shaped tanks due to a comprehensive, multi-point
calibration system. Most fuel flow senders can be used and the K-factor of
the sender can be entered into the system for simple calibration. MGL
Avionics supplies a lightweight dual range fuel flow sender that is
ideally suited for the FF-3. In addition, the FF-3 can use the airspeed (via the airtalk cable connected to a Infinity ASI-1/ASX-1, Velocity ASI-3/ASX-2 indicator) or actual ground speed (by using the optional GPS NMEA interface cable connected to a RS232 NMEA enabled GPS receiver) to determine fuel range.
The Infinity FF-1 / Velocity FF-3 and Flight-2 has the ability to be connected to a NMEA enabled RS232 GPS receiver to allow the use of actual ground speed in determining the fuel range (See the relevant instrument manual for more information). The NMEA enabled RS232 GPS receiver must be able to output a GPRMC message (The Recommended Minimum sentence defined by NMEA for GPS/Transit system data).
