Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with the US-D1: All-Weather Radar Altimeter?
The standard package includes: A Molex (50579204) 4-pin, 2.54mm connector. See above for optional extras where available.
Why use a radar altimeter like the US-D1: All-Weather Radar Altimeter instead of barometric or GPS altitude?
A radar altimeter measures true height above ground level directly, unaffected by air-pressure drift or GNSS vertical error. That makes the US-D1: All-Weather Radar Altimeter the reliable choice for landing, hover and terrain-following phases of flight.
Where is the US-D1: All-Weather Radar Altimeter available?
The US-D1: All-Weather Radar Altimeter is available through Leo Drive in the following region: Turkey. For other regions, please contact Leo Drive.
