With help from S-TEC, flying the Piper Cheyenne II just got easier. S-TEC has received FAA approval to install the MAGIC electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) and electronic instrument display system (EIDS), and the MAGIC 2100 digital flight control system (DFCS) in the Cheyenne II.

This allows Cheyenne II operators an opportunity to replace their aging flight control system and upgrade their panel to a modern glass cockpit.

"For safety purposes it's imperative to have the latest technology available. Now Cheyenne II operators do," said S-TEC President Michael McMillan.

"Heavy pilot workload is always a concern, but together this flight control system and glass cockpit pays major dividends because they reduce workload. The result is a safer, more aware and capable pilot."

The EFIS and EIDS provide a functional, digital, electronic instrument panel contained in a set of LCD 4.5-inch by 5.6-inch flat-panels. The MAGIC 2100 DFCS is a three axis, fully digital, attitude based Flight Control System that brings jet functionality to the twin turboprop market. The LCD display has an Integrated Altitude Pre-Selector and Indicated Air Speed Hold for excellent flight control in all conditions, enhancing situational awareness.

S-TEC, a Meggitt company, is based in Mineral Wells, Texas.
