The right-hand command F-model features a glass cockpit configuration that includes: The Virginia Beach Police Department Aviation Unit will welcome their first MD 530F helicopter in June of this year. MDHI has demonstrated it is equally committed to delivering the elegance of design and disruptive technologies as excellence in product performance and customer support.”įollowing MDHI’s 2017 commitment to deliver Block Changes to all MDHI-branded helicopter models–specifically glass cockpits, the 2018 MD Helicopters booth is a testament to the company’s ability to integrate next-generation technologies into their fleet of proven airframes. “The aircraft on display at Heli-Expo this year reflects well that this philosophy has been embraced by our company. “I have long believed that this industry’s customers – like all others – covet only two attributes from product - design and disruption,” said Lynn Tilton, Chief Executive Officer of MD Helicopters. The glass cockpit solutions featured in these aircraft will be FAA Certified and available to all MD 530 airframe operators.

The cornerstones of MDHI’s booth (N5505) will be the Virginia Beach Police Department’s new MD 530F alongside one of six (6) MD 530G Attack Helicopters ordered by the Malaysian Ministry of Defence. (MDHI) will proudly display two of its most beloved single-engine helicopter models, each featuring an advanced all-glass cockpit. The law enforcement-configured MD 530F and mission-equipped MD 530G Attack Helicopter on display will deliver to their operators in Q2 and Q3 2018, respectivelyĪt the 2018 HAI Heli-Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, MD Helicopters, Inc. The design of glass cockpit displays may present some difficulties for pilots in the very early stages of training.Menu MD Helicopters to Feature Single-Engine Glass Cockpits, Multi-Mission Capable Aircraft and Expanded Aftermarket and Customer Support Capabilities at HAI Heli-Expo 2018 MDHI display will feature the company’s new single-engine glass cockpits Performance data can contradict opinion data. The specific glass cockpit display used in this study was subjectively appealing but yielded poorer flight performance in participants with no previous flight experience than a traditional display. There was only a weak effect of prior training. In contrast the post-flight questionnaire data revealed a strong subjective preference for the glass cockpit over the traditional cockpit displays. The results revealed consistently poorer performance on the test flight for participants using the glass cockpit compared to the traditional cockpit. Preferences for cockpit display configurations and opinions on ease of use were also measured. Loss of control events and accuracy in controlling altitude, airspeed and heading, workload, and situational awareness were assessed. Flight performance was measured in a test flight using either the same or different cockpit display. Flight-naïve participants were trained on either a simulated traditional display cockpit or a simulated glass display cockpit.

The effects of glass cockpit displays on initial performance and potential transfer effects between cockpit display configurations have yet to be adequately investigated. Pilots may be trained on glass cockpit aircraft or encounter them after training on traditional displays. The analog dials in traditional GA aircraft cockpits are being replaced by integrated electronic displays, commonly referred to as glass cockpits.
