For a few years now, Insight Avionics has been selling its G-series line of color engine analyzers. The company is hardly a stranger to the engine display market. Its first-generation GEM series (graphic engine monitor) sold we’ll and delivered on quality, but these instruments fell short on advanced diagnostic utility for lack of modern software.
The new G1 through G4 series color analyzers change all that for the better. Insight’s latest version of operating software enables generous amounts of built-in engine and airframe diagnostics that could save troubleshooting time when the aircraft hits the shop floor, while providing advanced warning of component failures. The new feature set also dumbs down the engine leaning technique to a near-foolproof level, which could keep the engine out of the shop in the first place.
