We would like to introduce our Experimental Airplane Ground Proximity Controller.

Callouts all the way to Touchdown.

- Helps a lot when going to a wider width runways.
- Great for night especially when non-current.
- Makes a perfect landing every time.

Here are few of actual comments and feedback from customers posted on public experimental airplanes forums:

"I used it when I flew in to a RV event here in Australia at the old WW2 base at Temora. My local runway is narrow, the one at Temora is about three or more times the width, the system really helped with my confidence around the perspective issues (not wanting to bounce the length of the runway in front of a 1000 people). Flying along the runway while the system announces "one..one..one..one..zero" as you touch is pretty cool."

"After I installed the unit, I didn't actually fly my plane for a couple of weeks. I was on a 2-hour flight and quite frankly, I had forgotten about having it installed until I was on short final and heard the 70' call out, then 50', 20'... When I got to about the 6' callout, I raised the nose to a positive angle and pulled the last bit of power as it was calling out 2', 1' and it said "0" right as the mains chirped. I mean exactly at the same time. I had the same experience on my return trip. Very impressive."

"For my test flight, I flew to breakfast this morning with a friend who has a turbocharged Glassair III. We were both impressed how the altitude callout worked flawlessly. The Landing Height Controller said, “Zero” just as the wheels touched down. This unit is great! It was easy to install; the only tedious part was opening up the plane to run wires and then putting everything back together."

"Great product and is fun to have in the airplane."

Here is a video showing three different Experimental airplanes with various clips for the callouts.

Thank you Chris. As builders ourselves, we love to support and engage with the community. We believe we have more than one product that can benefit and provide extra safety and awareness to any type/model experimental airplane, we will start to mention these specific solutions that can fit Sonex as enhancements are made and to answer any questions directly.

Looking forward to attending nearby fly-ins and Sonex builders gathering and meet some of the members.

Thanks
Nidal

hi all ,
i bought this LHC unit, looking forward to installing it. power draw is very minimal. good reading on the vans site, earlier versions of this unit. www.vansairforce.com. Lidar Light Detection and Ranging.
very accurate measuring. I was a supervisor in the tower /tracon at fresno ca. and was involved with the work group with the FAA and boeing when boeing came out with the B747-800. wake turbulence lidar testing had to be accomplished at the approach end of the runway , comparing a B747-400 to the -800, to see if additional atc spacing distance was required for arrivals. lidar is extremely accurate as you can see in the videos . another situational awareness aid, to make good landings. reminds me of my faa time before 9/11/2001 , when i could ride in the jump seat in the airline cockpit. all airliners had the radar altimeters, and the automated voice call outs for altitude.
