Now Covers Majority Of Single Engine Aircraft

The FAA has extended an AML for CiES Inc. fuel quantity to Piper PA 46 Malibu, Mirage, Matrix - Cessna 190/195 Businessliner, 337 Skymaster, TTx/Columbia - Socata TB Series Trinidad, Tobago, Tampico - Rockwell Commander Series 112, 114 - Grumman American AA-5 Series Traveler, Cheetah, Tiger.

CiES Inc produces technology for measuring fuel quantity in aircraft. The CiES patented fuel sender technology is a digital non-contact method designed exclusively for aircraft and the aircraft operating environment. The company has STC’d this technology to replace existing automotive or agricultural fuel senders used in most general aviation aircraft.  

This recent expansion of the AML STC now covers the majority of active single engine aircraft and adds to the company's growing approval for popular twin-engine aircraft. They say they expect to be adding the Cessna 300 and 400 twins, DE Havilland Beaver and Otter and Cessna Caravan in the coming months.

CiES says that over 4,750 aircraft in the field fly with CiES digital fuel quantity sensing systems. CiES fuel quantity systems are included on all new Cirrus, Quest, Vulcanair, Tecnam, Gippsland, Pipestrel, CAIGA, Octens, Guanyi & Jiu Cheng with more manufacturers to be added in the coming months.

:It is a tragedy that General Aviation pilots have suffered with marginal fuel quantity systems," said Scott Philiben, CiES president. "The situation is so bad that many pilots don’t trust or rely on this FAA required fuel quantity instrument. Aircraft fuel quantity systems were really crying out for a new and better technology.”

The CiES digital fuel quantity system utilizes an advanced technology sensor system that allows repeatable, reliable and accurate measurement of fuel in the aircraft fuel tank. This patented sensor system allows fuel measurements down to 100th of a gallon. The non-contact measurement method eliminates electrical contact with the fuel that is prevalent in resistive or capacitance systems. Eliminating electricity from the fuel tank is safer and insures a lifetime of trouble-free operation providing stable, consistent fuel level output.
