Electronics International MVP-50P

The MVP-50 allows pilots to accurately monitor dozens of engine and system parameters, program redline limits, setup custom inputs, create interactive checklists, store general flight information, build flight plans, record and review pertinent data from every flight, and so much more. The MVP has been designed with the same thoughtful engineering that goes into every EI product, so even though the MVP-50P is by far the most powerful system in the industry, it is sure to be one of the easiest systems to use in your cockpit.

 At the top of the MVP-50P’s main screen is the Manifold Pressure and RPM gauges. From left to right, they are aligned with the aircraft’s throttle and prop controls. These gauges provide both analog and digital displays. The digital display provides accuracy and allows the pilot to detect small trends. The analog display provides field-of-vision, allowing the pilot to determine a function’s position in its operating range.

 Along the right side of the Main Screen are six analog/digital gauges, followed by three Digital-only gauges. These gauges display Fuel Flow, Fuel Pressure, Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature, Volts and Amps. Optional gauges are Fuel Level, Vacuum, TIT, Hydraulic Pressure, G-Meter, Carbon Monoxide, Cabin Pressure and Altitude, Airspeed and a number of other gauges and annunciators.

 In the left lower portion of the Main Screen is the most sophisticated EGT/CHT engine analyzer on the planet. The bars in blue show the EGTs and the bars in green show the CHTs. The pilot-programmable maximum and minimum ranges for both EGTs and CHTs are displayed and can be set to match any engine’s operation.

 The blue section between the instrument groups provides 8 support functions. This section can be configured to display Horsepower, OAT, Up Timer, Down Timer, Local Time, Zulu Time, and a number of other gauges and annunciators.

One of the most valuable features of the MVP-50P is its ability to alert the pilot the moment an engine or aircraft system function reaches a caution or warning area of operation. The color of the digital display represents the area of operation. If all the engine and aircraft parameters are operating within acceptable ranges, all the digits in the digital displays will be shown in green. If a function drops into a warning or caution operating range, the digital display will be shown in red or yellow, as appropriate. In addition, the digits will blink and an external caution or warning light will also blink. Some MVP systems can be equipped with a voice warning system.

 The MVP-50P was designed to reduce the need to constantly scan and interpret engine instruments. The moment a problem occurs the pilot is notified. This allows the pilot to deal with a problem long before engine damage occurs, giving the pilot options he otherwise may not have.
