Avidyne Launches A Third Annual Contest For 2012
After hearing he was the grand prize winner in Avidyne's
"FlySafe Giveaway Extravaganza", Piper Archer owner Stephen Gansky
of Newtown, PA's comment was one heard often from contest winners:
“I can’t believe it! I never win anything, this is
great.”
What he'd won was a new IFD540 GPS/NAV/COM, which will be
delivered as soon as the unit receives its FAA certification.
Avidyne places the value of the prize at $16,995.
Mr. Gansky got word he was the winner in a telephone call from
Avidyne. He was randomly chosen from all the Extravaganza contest
entrants acquired at trade shows and via the Avidyne website since
August 2011. “I was very impressed with the IFD540 when I saw
it in Hartford last fall. It will certainly fit nicely in my panel
where my 530 is today.”
“Congratulations to Steve and thanks to everyone who
participated in our FlySafe Giveaway Extravaganza,” said
Patrick Herguth, Avidyne’s Chief Operating Officer.
“This promotion has continued to help us spread the word
about the IFD540 and our other panel-mounted avionics, as well as
allowing us to connect with more aircraft owners who may be
interested in the exciting products we are developing.”
Targeted specifically toward aircraft owners, this is the second
FlySafe Giveaway Extravaganza promotion by Avidyne. The first
was launched in April at Sun n’ Fun 2011, with the initial
grand prize of a TAS620A traffic system that was given away right
after Oshkosh 2011. The Extravaganza 2 promotion was launched
shortly thereafter, with the winner being selected from the entries
submitted via the Avidyne website and from domestic and
international trade shows between August and December 2011.
“These FlySafe Giveaway Extravaganza promotions have been
very successful from our point of view, and so have decided to move
forward with another one, which runs now through Oshkosh
2012.” Herguth added.
Aircraft owners can view contest rules and sign up for
Avidyne’s “Extravaganza 3” giveaway, which will
also have a new Avidyne IFD540 GPS/NAV/COM as the Grand
Prize. The winner will be select from all of the valid
entries gathered at first-half 2012 trade shows, or from online
registrations.
