MGL Color Altimeters/Vsi Display (Blaze Series)

The MGL Avionics Blaze ALT-6 is a compact colour altimeter and vertical speed indicator (VSI) designed for a standard 80 mm instrument opening. It combines altitude and vertical-speed information in a sunlight-readable colour display, with an internal 24-bit digital altitude sensor.

Altitude may be displayed in feet or metres, while local pressure settings can be entered in millibars or inches of mercury. The integrated VSI supports feet per minute or metres per second, helping operators configure the presentation to their preferred operating convention.
