Electrical Analog Meter Movements Still Available
PREFAG Offers Moving Coil Meter Movements also
for Repair / Exchange
2

Time / cost pressure to change from classic
analog to glass cockpit
gt Reasons gtMeter movements are obsolete gt
Available meter movements are extremely
expensive gt Poor service of many instrument /
meter movement manufacturers gt More and more
instrument OEM go out of this business thus the
pressure rises even more
3

Changing the analog cockpit to glass

• gt This means for the owner
• gt High investment
• gt Down time of air craft
• gt To get used to new equipment
• New and costly training is required
• gt Many owners still prefer the analog cockpit
• gt There is a way out of this dilemma

PREFAG, the movement manufacturer partnering up
with repair stations

• gt Since PREFAG "only" does the movement - with or
  without dial
• gt We do not hold approvals for use of these
  movements in existing instruments
• gt Here, the cooperation with repair stations
  comes into the picture
• PREFAG technically supports repair stations
  with prototypes and design to obtain PMAs or
  process specs for instruments to be equipped
  with PREFAG meter movements

26

PREFAG, the movement manufacturer partnering up
with repair stations
gt As no single repair station can afford to
obtain PMAs for all instruments in case of
service problems gt the PMA shall be brought into
a lose network of repair stations to exchange
products - as done today. gt PREFAG produces the
meter movement and only provides references. Thus
the gt cost of certification is split between
several repair stations gt quantity to pay back
the investment is multiplied gt future for repair
stations of electrical analog instruments is
secured

28

PREFAG, the movement manufacturer partnering up
with repair stations

• gt Advantages of a partnership between the repair
  station and PREFAG are
• gt Reduction of maintenance cost of analog cockpit
  for aircraft owners through cost reduction of
  instrument repair.
• gt Improved service and turn around times for
  aircraft owners
• gt The larger the "network" gets, the more
  instrumentation problems, also the more exotic
  ones, can be solved
• gt Repair stations secure their market by holding
  PMAs and / or process specs
• gt Reduced drive for owners to change to glass
  cockpit
• gt Future of repair station is secured
• gt Larger production quantities of meter movements
  for future oriented costing
