Pulsar using MOSFET's

    Pulsar MOSFET **Rev-A NOW has Full FAA PMA Approval**..All Pulsar Have been STC'd Original version has FULL FAA Approval

For Decades; Pulsing Lights installed on Aircraft, & EMT's or Police Cars have been designed using:

Bipolar; " NPN/PNP" Transistors or Relays as the output switching device...But  FAA-Approved only on Planes.

AvTek has defended the use of Relays, because all Transistors (our competitors Pulse-Light) have "Emitter to Collector" resistance, this means a Power-Loss which will result in a loss of C/p (Candle-Power) and a reduction of watts; resulting in a reduction of brightness at your Landing-Light, and this always means more service problems, just ask any Avionic Tech; they will tell you they replace more transistors than any-other component.  Transistors take a pounding.         Click History

Relays have no (10 to -6 Ω) resistance, but they are "Gold-Plated"  contact points are as close to pure conductor as we engineers have...    UNTIL NOW!  Oct. 2006 the World has a NEW Electronic Component... CALLED:

Power-MOSFET's (Metal-Oxide-Semi-Field-Effect-Transistors) having nearly ZERO (.026 Ω) NOW 0.015 Ω resistance in-series with your Landing-Light, and unlike Relay's, MOSFET's have NO Contact Points to ware-out, like your Mag's that will need a 500 hour overhaul.... what does 0.015 Ω mean?  (10 to-3 power Ω)

So our MOSFET  will (should) never need repair...They are a nearly  "Perfect" conductor. (.026 Ω) WOW

E/z 40 Min owner  install (under panel), not including cig breaks & prep

            "Shop estimates range from 0.5 to 1.5 hours to install, depending on your aircraft configuration"

Get the BEST GET 2010 Tech Just $70 more it's Flawless...MOSFET comes with a LIFE-TIME warranty, it's that good.

Copter, Plane Collide Over Ohio; 2 Die

                        This should NEVER Happen. 

SHARONVILLE, Ohio - Two small aircraft collided Friday over suburban Cincinnati, raining debris onto roads and backyards and killing two people on board, authorities said.

The accident "appears to have been a midair collision (Click here to see Mid-Air while it occurred) between a helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft," the Federal Aviation Administration said in a recorded message. Witnesses gave conflicting accounts of the types of aircraft involved.

The FAA had no information about the aircrafts' flight plans or why they were so close together. Blue Ash Airport, a runway used by small planes, is several miles away.

No injuries were reported on the ground. Several roads and a highway were closed because of the debris

  How Much?

Our Competitors Transistorized (2.545 Ω of resistance...that is 119 time's more Ohms than MOSFET's)  Pulse-Lights MUST be manufactured with LARGE, Bulky "Heat-Sinks", dissipates HEAT and this means less Brightness to your Light-Bulb because when there's HEAT there is always a loss of energy... and their "Pulsing-Lights" cost more than ours and with less features then AvTek's Pulsar...and 3 to 5 hours install time compared to AvTek's 30-Min Owner-Installable Pulsar...we just thought you should know.  They're OLD-SCHOOL....Sorry. Need More Info

Here's proof: Pulse your current Landing-Lights at night up-against a hangar-wall...then turn on your lights steady.  You will see them get BRIGHTER if you are using our competitors Pulse-Light...Why?

          ... Because you by-passed the "Resistive" Emitter/Collector junction of the Transistors.

 MOSFET do NOT have this "Resistive" junction; therefore all the POWER is delivered to your Landing-Light...

MOSFET's are Amplifiers, so your Landing Light Bulb will Pulse brighter than it was design to be from the Ge Lighting Engineers...Or your H-I-D's? Here  BRIGHTER a $19.50.

MOSFET's have been around since the early 80's but they were VERY Expensive and Physically LARGER then they are today, until Oct 2006.  AvTek wanted to use them in the 80's, & 90's but could NOT in this tough competitive market, and neither has any competitor...           

                WELL... < AvTek NOW have MOSFET's available in all our Pulsar's. >  NEW SCHOOL

The MOSFET's are rated at 47 Amps, that's over 480 watts...However our FAA-PMA-APPROVAL is for 100 watts 12 volts & 250 watts @ 28 volts, so our MOSFET Semi-Conductor switching won't even break-a-sweat working in YOUR aircraft.

Already own a Pulsar...Pulse-Light and maybe need repairs? Here >>

General description from Fairchild; 60V P-Channel QFET        How Much?

Features

The following Ge Lights are on the approval List:

  Ge: 4509; Q4509, H-7604, 4591,Q-4591, 4596, 4594, 4553 all Halogen lights on experimental. & H-I-D's

   Reg relay Pulsar w/Speed-select is $225, without Speed/select $189.95  and all have a built-in Led, that tells you If the light is: Out, on steady for Landing or What Speed "Fast Sunny days/Slow for Night-Flights"  Order Here

So; you want Pulsar hidden behind the panel with ONLY the switches shown Pulsing two lights and you have NO Avionics Fan the cost is:

 $295 (base) + $30 (Dual Lights) +$25 (Behind Panel) + $35 (Cooling Fan) Total: $385.00 NEVER need service.

Remember Under the Panel Install is 20 to 45 minutes... Behind the Panel will take more time...like an hour or two you MUST drill holes in your panel for all the switches and Led...CLEARLY the under the panel is the BEST....And All the switches and Green Led are built-in for your convenience.

The owner can Panel Mount "Do-it-yourself" as shown above or pay the $25.00...BUT, Panel Mounting as shown MUST  have the cooling Fan...or void the warranty.

               Under the Panel Mounting allows cabin vent air to flow across the MOSFET's...Just $295
