ADS-85/86 Air Data System

Overview

The Rockwell Collins ADS-85/86 Air Data System senses, computes and displays all parameters essential to flight. It is certifiable for compliance with the Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) requirements. The system is all digital, from the Air Data Computer (ADC) to the air data instrument displays.

Computed and available parameters include: indicated airspeed, true airspeed, vertical speed, Vmo/Mmo, static air temperature, total air temperature, preselected altitude, overspeed warning contacts, ADC valid contacts, uncorrected pressure altitude and barometric corrected altitude.

The system’s distinctive digital design is smaller, lighter and more energy efficient than previous generations of air data computers. It also offers: continuous monitoring of all functions and internal diagnostics; increased system reliability and integrity; and simplified installation.

The ADS-85 is a form, fit and functional replacement for the ADS-81/82.
