Says New Technology Provides Platform for Growth and Additional
Products
Aerosonic Corporation
says it's received Technical Standard Order (TSO) approval from the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for their new digital
altimeter. This altimeter was selected by Cessna Aircraft Company
as standard equipment on their new Citation Mustang Jet.
The technology designed into this instrument provides customers
with improved accuracy and reliability, utilizing digital
technology instead of traditional mechanical devices. This
instrument requires significantly reduced production lead time,
resulting in even greater customer satisfaction. With the sales
potential covering all aspects of aviation, this digital altimeter
represents a strong addition to the existing line, while opening a
new path for additional advanced, digitally based products.
The TSO process is the FAA's method for approving materials,
parts, processes and appliances used on civil aircraft. The
Aerospace Research Center reports that the civil aircraft market,
which includes all aircraft except those used by the military,
accounts for 21.5%, or $34.6 billion, of total aerospace sales. The
TSO approval now makes this product available immediately to all
aspects of this marketplace. The instrument passed a series of
intensive tests in the process of obtaining the coveted approval,
which stands as a true testament to the company's commitment to
product excellence.
"This is a bold new time and market for Aerosonic products,"
said Executive Vice President Mark Perkins. "We have worked hard
through this process and are very excited about the opportunities
this digital altimeter brings to our industry and to the future of
our company. The knowledge gained in developing this sensor-based
technology provides the platform for growth through the addition of
more sophisticated products applicable to a greater range of
aircraft."
