CoPilot®

Ballard CoPilot® is an intuitive, graphical software program that allows you to easily monitor, record, replay, analyze, and simulate avionics bus data. With CoPilot you can interact directly with data on multiple buses using Ballard avionics interface hardware or work with previously recorded data. This advanced program features powerful tools for development, testing, troubleshooting and maintenance of avionics equipment and systems.

CoPilot is the perfect complement to Astronics' comprehensive line of hardware interface products for avionics databus protocols including MIL-STD-1553, EBR 1553, ARINC 429, ARINC 664, ARINC 708, ARINC 717 and others.

CoPilot is the ready solution. It is a Windows program that allows you to interact with and generate avionics bus data, without writing your own software. What CoPilot does for you, is to make it simpler to interact with avionics busses, alleviate the need to write test software, and make it easier for you to get your job done.
