- RS-232 and RS-422 serial ports for interfacing
- ARINC 429 digital output (GAMA standard) for left/right analog course deviation, ng, encoded or greycode altitude, and basic fuel flow sensor links
- Fuel Flow page configurable to allow for simultaneous display of left and right engine fuel flows
- ARINC 429 digital output compatible with some autopilots which can accept ARINC 429 roll-steering information
- ARINC 429 output data can be used with digital to analog adapter such as Allied Signal KA-90 to produce roll-steering signal used by autopilots systems requiring analog signal
- Accepts RS-232 fuel flow data from external sources
- 28 Volt or 14 Volt operation
- TSO'd
- Interfaces to BF Goodrich WX-500 Weather Mapping Sensor and Skywatch Traffic Advisory System for combined moving map display with nav data and weather/traffic information
- Interfaces to Ryan 9900B / 9900BX TCAD and Goodrich Skywatch to display traffic information
