A new RPM Governor for ENSTROM piston helicopters

Enstrom Helicopters is pleased to reveal the development of a new RPM Governor for Enstrom piston helicopters. Designed to aid pilots in maintaining rotor RPM, the new governor uses a digital controller and fast acting servo motor to accurately control RPM.

During autorotation training, it will automatically maintain the RPM just below the green. During the power recovery it will increase engine RPM and marry the needles, and the engine won’t overspeed.

Safety and convenience are what drove the design of the new governor. The governor system will be available on new model 280FX and F28F helicopters and available as a retrofit to any 28-volts 280FX and F28F helicopters in the field.

ENSTROM HELICOPTER GLASS PANEL 280FX

Enstrom is pleased to announce new all glass instruments.
These upgrades will be available on all new model 280FX in 2023.

That new panel is designed around a Garmin G500H TXi EFIS display. The G500 features a robust and easy-to-use digital flight display. Its touch screen interface makes it much quicker and more intuitive to use than the old button and knob system.

Accompanying the G500 is a Howell digital engine instrument system (EIS) incorporating all the engine monitoring functions as well as the Caution and Advisory System (CAS).

Rounding out the new cockpits are new avionics from Garmin including GTN 750 and 650 TXi capable to interface with each other to save panel space and to simplify operations.
