Falken Magnetometer
Introducing the Falken Magnetometer, a compact, high-performance digital compass designed to provide precise magnetic heading data to the FlightView EFIS and Astra EFIS systems. Built specifically for the demands of experimental and light-sport aircraft, the Falken Magnetometer enhances situational awareness by delivering reliable, tilt-compensated magnetic heading—even during banked or pitched flight. This robust sensor allows pilots to maintain accurate heading information in conditions where GPS or AHRS data alone may be insufficient.
Engineered for seamless integration, the Falken Magnetometer communicates over CAN bus, ensuring fast, reliable data transfer with minimal latency. With a current draw of less than 100 milliamps, it is ideal for electrically constrained environments, allowing easy installation in aircraft with limited power budgets. Its light weight—just 5 ounces—and compact form factor make it simple to mount in a wide range of aircraft configurations without adding significant load or complexity.
Accuracy is everything in navigation, and the Falken Magnetometer delivers. Thanks to its built-in tilt compensation and advanced filtering algorithms, it delivers heading data that remains stable even when the aircraft is maneuvering. Installation is straightforward: mount the sensor in a magnetically neutral location free of ferromagnetic materials and electrical interference, and it will provide years of maintenance-free service. When installed properly, it becomes a true “set-it-and-forget-it” component of the FlightView system.
Designed with the same engineering excellence and integration focus as all Falken products, it brings you one step closer to a complete, integrated avionics solution. Reliable, lightweight, and precision-tuned for flight.
