Now OK'd For King Airs, PA-46s, PC-12s
Avidyne announced Monday it recently received Minor Change
Approval (MCA) from the European Aviation Safety Agency for
installation of their MLX770 two-way datalink transceiver into
pressurized aircraft.
The avionics manufacturer previously received EASA approval for
MLX770 installations in unpressurized metal and composite aircraft
in Europe, as well as a full Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval with an Approved Model
List covering over 700 aircraft models of N-registered
aircraft.
"The strategic weather and two-way communication benefits of the
MLX770 are equally valuable for single-engine piston aircraft all
the way up through pressurized turboprop-class and light turbofan
aircraft," said Avidyne Chief Operating Officer, Patrick Herguth.
"As we have completed our final approval hurdles, we can now
install and provide the safety enhancements of the MLX770 on
virtually any Part 23 aircraft in the world."
The MLX770 brings comprehensive worldwide datalink weather
services to the general aviation market, and is initially designed
to interface with Avidyne’s EX500 and Entegra systems.
Avidyne is also working with third-party display and Electronic
Flight Bag (EFB) manufacturers to develop interface compatibility
for future installations in Part 25 twin turbo-prop and turbofan
jet aircraft. Introductory pricing for the MLX770 is $11,995 USD
including antenna.
