Flybox Vigilus Engine Information System (80 mm)
The Flybox Vigilus is a comprehensive Engine Information System (EIS) and fuel management computer designed for Ultralight, Light Sport (LSA), Experimental aircraft, and Helicopters. Fitting directly into a standard 80 mm (3⅛″) hole, it centralises all critical powerplant parameters onto a vibrant, sunlight-readable 3.5″ display—pairing a slim cockpit unit with a remote engine module for clean, simple firewall-forward installation.
Dedicated Flight & Powerplant Environments
Rotate the centre control knob to cycle through dedicated full-colour operational screens:
Primary Engine Telemetry
Continuous monitoring of RPM, MAP, Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature, Fuel Pressure, and up to 6× CHT and 6× EGT cylinders. A pre-takeoff status monitor displays red WARMUP until all temperatures and pressures are safe, switching to green READY.
Engine Temperature Diagnostics
Pressing F1 opens a schematic of your engine block, displaying individual CHT and EGT readings per cylinder alongside calculated temperature differentials (ΔEGT and ΔCHT) to identify fouling or balance issues instantly.
Flight Timers & Electrical Bus
Combines GPS-synced local/UTC time, an automatic flight timer triggered by engine RPM, an in-flight resettable lap timer, precision bus voltmeter, and an ammeter gauge for alternator charge/discharge monitoring.
Fuel Management & Computer
Monitors up to 3 physical tanks via capacitive or resistive senders. When combined with a fuel flow transducer and GPS, it calculates real-time flow rate, burned fuel, endurance, total range, reserve at destination, and tank-balance alerts.
Engine Lifecycle Analytics & 100–200 Hour Datalogger
- Zone-by-Zone Hourmeter: Logs total engine operating hours broken down into exact time spent running in green, yellow, and red operating zones.
- Peak RPM Tracking: Automatically records last flight duration, maximum peak RPM reached during the last flight, and lifetime maximum RPM ever sustained.
-
High-Rate Datalogging: Records every parameter once per second into internal memory. Review flights graphically on-screen with cursor scrolling or export to USB as a standard
.CSVfile for Excel. - Composite Video Support: Supports up to 3 composite video inputs via the optional Flybox USB Video Grabber (Cod 653000), allowing cockpit display of landing gear, tail, or cargo cameras.
Headset Spoken Audio Alerts
- Direct Intercom Audio: Verbal voice alerts broadcast over your headset for low oil pressure, overspeed, high CHT, and low fuel.
- Custom Repeat Cycles: Customise voice warning repetitions (1 to 5 times) and set audio output volume to match your intercom.
- Auto-Reset Functions: Visual and vocal warnings automatically clear once parameters return to safe operating ranges.
Remote Engine Module Architecture
- Clean Firewall Forwarding: Senders terminate at the compact remote module, running a single digital CAN-bus link to the dashboard.
- External Annunciator Outputs: Four programmable active-low outputs can drive external cockpit master warning lamps.
- Rotax 912iS Native Support: Reads dual ECU (A & B) parameters directly via CAN communication with zero analogue sensor taps.
