July 15, 2008

MOORPARK, Calif. – Kavlico, a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), is pleased to announce the publication of two new data sheets showcasing their Flight Spoiler Control Lever (FSCL) and their Single Engine Thrust Control devices.

Both products meet the small envelope, minimum weight, and high reliability and durability demanded by today’s highly competitive aerospace industry. Each has been put through extensive qualification testing to ensure compliance with appropriate operational standards.

• The FSCL Features a 4-channel RVDT position feedback, a locked stow, 9 soft detents, and LED illuminated panel, and an emergency position gated to prevent inadvertent movement.
• The Single Engine Thrust Control features a triplex RVDT design and adjustable friction, while a full travel seal insures that foreign objects and debris is kept out of the thrust control mechanism.

Each of the cockpit control devices has an MTBF of 70,000 flight hours.
