MGL Avionics Stratomaster Vega ASI-4 Operating Manual

Introduction
The ASI-4 is a 2 1/4" sunlight readable instrument that provides a wide range airspeed indication in both digital and
analog tape formats. Airspeed is based on the pressure generated by a pitot tube system and a static port is provided as
well for use by high speed aircraft. In addition, the ASI-4 provides a flight timer since takeoff and records the maximum
airspeed reached.
Airspeed can be indicated in statute miles per hour (mph), kilometers per hour (km/h) or nautical miles per hour (kts). The
analog airspeed tape can be scaled according to the aircraft's flying speed range and ranges for Vs0, Vs1, Vfe, Vno and
Vne can be set. The ASI-4 also provides a programmable Vs and Vne airspeed alarm output. ASI sensitivity can be
calibrated by the user to cater for errors caused by pitot tube placement.
The ASI-4 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.
