Innovative, Low-Cost Instrumentation for the
New Millennium
The glass cockpit of the future has
already become the standard in today's military and
commercial aircraft. High-time pilots, both commercial
and private, have come to recognize the importance of
the "quick scan" ― the ability to see at a glance whether critical flight and engine parameters are within
acceptable limits, and to be rapidly alerted to out-of-limit conditions.
You, too, can have the peace of mind that comes from
knowing
"Am I in the Green?"

AIM-4000/b (6-cylinder) $2299
- It's a Graphic Engine Monitor
- It's a Flight Information Display
- It's a Fuel Computer
- It's a Flight and Engine Timer
- It's an Electronic Checklist
Brand New Features!
- New Square Format
- 2 Fuel-Level Displays - left tank, right tank
- Amperage indication - graphic & digital
- Continuous numeric RPM & MP indications
- 4-cylinder & 6-cylinder models available
Combining the "quick-scan" features of a graphical engine monitor with the precision of a digital display, the AIM-4000 monitors and displays critical flight and engine information in a compact, lightweight, fault-tolerant unit.
Unlike the ubiquitous single-screen LCD instruments, the AIM-4000 displays clearly labeled numeric information on a large-character, sunlight-readable LCD screen -- and graphic information on vivid, color-coded, traffic-light-quality LED bargraphs.
Are You In The Green?
If all engine indications are within the normal range, the AIM-4000 displays two rows of bright green bargraphs. If an engine value exceeds the normal limits for your aircraft and engine, the green bars in the corresponding bargraph go out and an amber (caution) or red (warning) bar will illuminate.
Why do the green bars go out? For the same reason that the green, yellow and red lights on traffic lights are not illuminated simultaneously: Multiple colors in a bargraph will "fight" one another, while a single bright color will appear to jump out at you -- instantly recognizable with just a quick scan.
Simple, intuitive, easy to operate and interpret
The primary LCD screen displays
- Temperature of the hottest CHT
- Temperature of the hottest EGT
- Fuel Pressure
- Oil Pressure
- Oil Temperature
- Fuel Flow
- Total Fuel Quantity
A continuous numeric indication of RPM is displayed at the lower left-hand corner of the unit, and a continuous numeric Manifold Pressure indication is shown at the lower right-hand corner of the unit.
Press the "Flight" button once and you'll see Airspeed & Altitude. Another press brings up the Kollsman window, where you can adjust the altitude for local barometric pressure. One more press will display optional OAT & Density Altitude.
Press the "CHT/EGT - VOLT/AMP" button once and you'll see four (or six) numeric CHT values. Another press of the button displays four (or six) numeric EGT values. One more press displays numeric values for Volts and Amps.
Press the "Timer/Fuel" button and you'll seen total (cumulative) engine hours and current elapsed flight time. Another press brings up the fuel computer, displaying gallons of fuel remaining (fuel level) in the left tank and in the right tank, along with flight hours remaining (endurance) at the current fuel flow.
The AIM-4000 provides the following -- simultaneously and without scrolling:
| Numerical values for: | Graphical values for: |
RPM |
4 or 6 CHTs |
Manifold Pressure |
4 or 6 EGTs |
Hottest CHT |
Fuel Pressure |
Hottest EGT |
Oil Pressure |
Fuel Pressure |
Oil Temperature |
Oil Pressure |
Volts |
Oil Temperature |
Amps |
Fuel Flow |
Fuel Flow |
Total Fuel Remaining |
Fuel Quantity - Left Tank |
|
|
Fuel Quantity - Right Tank |
|
Additional clearly labeled numeric information is displayed on alternate screens: |
Airspeed |
Total Engine Time |
Altitude |
Elapsed Flight Time |
4 or 6 CHT Values |
Fuel Endurance |
4 or 6 EGT Values |
Optional OAT & Density Altitude |
Volts |
Amps |
Physical Specifications
The AIM-4000 measures 5.0" wide x 5.5" high x 1.8" deep.
Total weight of the AIM-4000, including the separate Data Acquisition Module (usually mounted behind the panel), is approximately 2 lbs.
And There's More...
- A comprehensive series of Generic Pilot Checklists
- Data Logging Capability
- Outputs for master visual or audible alerts
The AIM-4000 can be configured for installation in conventional fixed-wing airplanes as well as helicopters, ultra-lights and gyroplanes. It is compatible with all engine types: water- or air- cooled, carbureted or fuel-injected, 12- or 24-volt systems, with magnetos or electronic ignition.
Specific models are available for standard Lycoming, Continental and Franklin engines - as well as Rotax 912/914; 4-, 6- and 8-cylinder Jabiru; 4- and 6-cylinder Subaru; Chevy; 9-cylinder radial, Falconer and turbine engines.
A FADEC interface is also available.
