  • System and process for providing helicopter instruments on a tablet in digital form during external load operations
    Patent number: 10780995
    Abstract: A system providing helicopter instruments on a tablet in digital form for external load operations is disclosed. The system includes a data collect system/device that retrieves data from the drive train of the helicopter and wirelessly transmits the data to a tablet computing device with a tablet app running to visually output gauges and real-time operational helicopter readings so as not to exceed operating limits when the pilot is out of a line of sight of the instrument panel in the helicopter, such as when engaged in external load operations. The system and tablet app implementation supports many different helicopter variants and the tablet is easily mounted in any helicopter or moved from one helicopter to another.
