DMA-Aero MPS43 Air Data Test Set
The DMA-Aero MPS43 is a state-of-the-art, digital 2-channel Air Data Test Set (ADTS) engineered to deliver line-maintenance and instrument-shop technicians the ultimate solution for pitot-static testing. In modern aviation, the absolute precision of air data instruments—such as altimeters, airspeed indicators, vertical speed indicators, and Mach meters—is critical to flight safety and airspace regulatory compliance. The MPS43 provides an ultra-reliable, highly accurate, and compact platform designed to meet the stringent demands of Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) validation.
By integrating advanced pneumatic control technology, internal pressure/vacuum pumps, and dual-channel sensing into an incredibly lightweight and portable enclosure, DMA-Aero MPS43 has set a new benchmark for flight-line test equipment. The MPS43 allows operators to perform fast, automated leak testing and full-scale instrument calibration on a vast array of aircraft, from commercial airliners and military jets to general aviation aircraft and helicopters.
High-Precision RVSM Compliance and Core Functionality
The core value of the DMA-Aero MPS43 lies in its exceptional accuracy and automated multi-channel control system. Operating as a 2-channel tester, it independently manages the Pitot (Pt) and Static (Ps) pneumatic circuits. This dual-channel architecture enables the simultaneous simulation of altitude and airspeed, allowing technicians to evaluate complex aircraft computer systems, such as Air Data Computers (ADC) and flight data recorders, exactly as they would perform in mid-flight conditions.
Equipped with high-stability silicon resonant sensors, the MPS43 achieves a level of precision that easily satisfies RVSM tolerances. It provides rapid response times without sacrificing stability, ensuring that pressure readings do not drift during long-duration leak tests.
Automation is built into the heart of the DMA-Aero MPS43. Technicians can program custom test profiles or utilize pre-configured routines to execute multi-point calibration checks automatically. This software-driven automation drastically reduces cockpit testing times, prevents human errors during manual pressure adjusting, and ensures that delicate aircraft instruments are never subjected to over-pressure or sudden vacuum spikes.
