FAA approves fuel meter for Garmin-equipped R66s

Monday, 15 June 2020

Founded in 1973, Robinson Helicopter Company is a leading manufacturer of civil helicopters. The R66 is one of its top sellers, and customers can now add a Shadin fuel flow meter for under seven thousand US dollars.

Robinson Helicopter Company is now offering Shadin Avionics' fuel flow meter on new R66s equipped with Garmin GTN 6xx or 750 GPS navigators, following approval by the FAA.

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 two pounds to the aircraft's empty weight.
