Aircraft P.A./I.F.E Systems 
 
 
 
 

Attention : Charter/Tourist Aircraft Operators,




Hello , my name is David Fitzgerald. For those of you who may not know me personally I am a Licensed Aircraft Engineer in the Radio,Electrical and Instrument categories having been involved in the aviation industry for over 25 years. During the past few years I have been designing, building and installing aircraft In Flight Entertainment and P.A. Systems at the request of a number of prominent charter/tourist operators mainly throughout the Kimberley region of W.A. Over time these systems have evolved and been improved to become fully integrated with the aircraft audio system and provide various options for the customer. Operators have found these systems invaluable in improving the level of service to their passengers with pre-recorded commentaries, in flight music and the like. The latest systems that I am now prepared to make available to all operators are known as the FITZY III Series P.A./I.F.E Systems. They come in stereo headphone , speaker and full intercom versions and have the following features:

1. Incorporates top of the range Pioneer Tape/Radio/CD Control - KEH 3650 and Pioneer PDS 630S 6 CD Remote Stacker (optional).

2. Fully integrates easily to any aircraft audio system providing P.A. from headset mic and P.A. sidetone and music is switchable on to aircraft phones line. (pilot monitor)

3. P.A. volume control and all switching is made from a small professionally engraved switch panel.

4. Circuit design is such to virtually eliminate the possibility of P.A. audio feedback and special phones isolation amp ensures no loading of aircraft phones and complete isolation of radio receivers from P.A./IFE system. Audio quality is exceptional.

5. Each system comes complete with everything required for the complete installation. This includes speakers (for speaker version) and all wiring made to suit over 95% of G.A. aircraft. All units are fitted with quality in-line connectors and the complete interwiring loom is supplied constructed of top quality airline standard cables and coaxial 's. 

6. Avionic installation is a breeze and can be done in minutes with only 5 connections required to the aircraft. A 24/12 voltage converter is supplied as part of the system for 24 volt aircraft. 


Earlier versions of the FITZY III P.A./IFE Systems have already been successfully installed into some 30 various aircraft to date including C206, C207, C210, C310,C337, Partenavia, Chieftain/Navajo and B-N Islander. Some aircraft will require 2 speakers and others 4. The stereo phones version will supply any number of commercially available headphones with P.A. and music. The intercom version integrates with a 6 station voice activated stereo intercom with all the switching features. The aircraft phones line can also be switched to the IFE system when required. These systems have been exhaustively tested and conform to all CASA regulations and guidelines for installation into aircraft. 

CASA approval for the fitment and operation is available under an Engineering Order from Aeronautical Engineers Australia (Jandakot) upon submission of the physical installation
details. 


The typical system consists of 

1.Pioneer KEH - 3650 Radio/Tape/CD Control Unit

2.Pioneer PDS - 630S 6 CD Remote Stacker (optional)

3. 28/14 Switch mode - Voltage Converter (28V a/c only)

4. Professionally engraved Control Panel. (8 x 5 x 3) cm

5. Interface Unit ( 9 x 9 x 4)cm
