Attention:

Different air data computers are installed on the aircraft Polar 5 and Polar 6.  See information further down for specifications of the individual ADC.

Summary

An air data computer (ADC) is an essential avionics component found in modern aircraft. The ADC determines the calibrated airspeed, Mach number, altitude, and altitude trend data from an aircraft's pitot-static system. Air data computers usually also have an input of total air temperature. This enables computation of static air temperature and true airspeed.
