EFD1000H Available For Installation In Bell 206, 407
Aircraft
Aspen Avionics announced the approval of a Supplemental Type
Certificate (STC) for installation of the Aspen EFD1000H into the
Bell 206 and Bell 407 model helicopters on Tuesday. This STC was
developed in partnership with Keystone Helicopters.
The EFD1000H is the latest addition to the Evolution Flight
Display System. Designed and manufactured to meet the rigors of
helicopter operations, Aspen’s EFD1000H enables rotorcraft
operators to replace their legacy mechanical flight instruments
with state-of-the-art electronic displays with little to no
modification of the existing panel. “This certification
project has been many months in the making and we are looking
forward to offering the Evolution glass panel system to Bell owners
and operators,” says Anson Gray, Aspen’s Helicopter
Sales Manager. “The EFD1000H’s lightweight, compact
form and specially designed vibration-isolating kit will be a huge
plus for helicopter operators looking for a glass cockpit
upgrade,” he adds.

“Aspen Avionics brings to rotary operators the same great
benefits of upgradability, compatibility, and customization that
has made the Evolution System so popular with fixed-wing
owners,” said John Uczekaj, President and CEO Aspen Avionics.
He adds, “Of particular benefit to those operators working in
high pressure environments such as law enforcement and medical
transportation, the Aspen Evolution System provides phenomenal
situational awareness that enhances safety and reduces pilot
workload.”
