The electronic instrument displays (EID) receive sensor data from which component?

The electronic instrument displays (EID) in the T-6 aircraft receive sensor data primarily from the air data computer. This component plays a crucial role by processing information related to airspeed, altitude, temperature, and other critical flight data. The air data computer consolidates various sensor inputs and translates them into understandable data that the EID presents to the pilot in real-time.

Utilizing this data ensures that pilots have accurate and timely information regarding their flight parameters, which is essential for safe and effective aircraft operation. This integration enhances situational awareness and aids decision-making during flight.

In contrast, while the inertial navigation system, navigation GPS, and flight management system contribute to the overall navigation and situational understanding of the aircraft, they do not directly supply data to the electronic instrument displays in the same way that the air data computer does.
