JPI’s newest piece of panel wizardry relegates fuel-situation questions to relics of the past. From its new home between the top row of flight instruments and the top of avionics stack, the FS-450 blinked and winked the numbers to answer all my fuel-situation questions. Connected to our Honeywell Skymap IIIC, the FS-450 happily winked and blinked its way through its information inventory and left me as relaxed as any fat-dumb-and-happy aviator should get — minus the “dumb” part of the equation, of course. Heavy-duty information and a light-duty price; could you want more? Sure, easy installation would be nice, something JPI also covered. |
The Aviation Consumer, Product of the Year. JPI’s FS-450 is our top choice because it has all the options you need for fuel management.
Excellent product with easy install! Can’t put into words how comforting it is to know exactly how much fuel is available. Everything in aviation has come a long way since 1955 when my Tripacer was certified, the FS-450 brings the fuel management into the present century!

Display on my FS450 was erratic, sometime shutting off in flight despite good wiring and volt supply . Just ordered this brand new one to avoid workshop trouble shooting on a 15 years old display . Plug and play OK . Hope this display lasts at least 15 years. I appreciate FS 450 accuracy . A real need in managing and monitoring fuel on my IO550 V35.

Purchased an additional $300 in parts, installed in about 7 hours with 2 people. Works as it it should. I have not had it installed long enough to test accuracy . I’m very happy with the FS 450 and it sure makes you lean it out!

Fast and easy to buy online with Aircraft Spruce. The Alaska store needs more staffing to be more efficient. They are always pleasant but they are slammed.

As of today I have not been able to get the FS-450 to work. After the install and it didnt work I contacted tech support who made me feel like I was some kind of ignorant moron. There suggestion was to blow through the transducer to see if the pulse wheel was spinning which it was. So what now? Well you can call the RMA department and get an RMA to send it back to be bench tested, DUH! After 15 emails back and forth with JPI RMA department I finally got the RMA and sent the transducer back. Im currently waiting a reply. Needless to say Im not impressed with JPI, especially Tech Support, and will not be doing business with them again.

Works like a charm. Accurate and reliable. A&P quoted 8 hrs for the install and paperwork. YMMV.
