But there are more BendixKing products, including the AeroCruze autopilot and the AeroVue Touch retrofit flight display, that we're waiting for. We reached out to BendixKing with an update and per its request submitted a list of questions pertaining to product and certification status. At press time, we were told by a BendixKing spokesperson that its communication team is spread thin and finding the right spokespeople to answer our product questions was posing a challenge. It said it would reach out to Aviation Consumer when it can offer product updates.

Where are The Bendixking Products?

I’ve read Aviation Consumer’s reporting of BendixKing products over the past few years, and with interest the KI300 electronic attitude indicator. The mechanical KI256 flight director gyro in my Baron is costing me a fortune every time it needs overhaul, but I need to keep it to drive the KFC225 autopilot.

BendixKing has long promised this electronic replacement but it never seems to make it to market. Do you have an update on this and some of the other products you’ve covered?
