Product Description

The WL1609AM2 is a standby altimeter with counter-pointer display, providing independent altitude indication when primary flight instruments fail. This panel-mounted backup instrument connects to the aircraft static system and operates per FAA TSO-C10 standards. Used in conventional and glass-cockpit aircraft as redundant altitude reference during IFR operations.

Installation requires integration with the static system and compliance with 14 CFR 91.411 altimeter/static system testing before IFR flight. The counter-drum pointer mechanism offers reliable mechanical altitude readout without dependency on primary avionics.
