Company Receives Approved Model List STC From FAA

On Friday, Aspen Avionics received from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) its Approved Model List Supplemental Type Certificate (AML-STC) for the EFD1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD).

This certification -- combined with the TSO (Technical Standard Order) certification granted to the company two weeks ago, as ANN reported -- authorizes installation of Aspen’s Evolution PFD in almost 400 airplane makes and models.

“The Evolution PFD is the first practical and affordable way to bring state-of-the-art glass cockpit benefits to the bulk of the general aviation fleet,” said John Uczekaj, Aspen Avionics’ President and CEO.

“As we continue to expand the number, classes and types of aircraft covered by our AML,” he continued, “soon anyone who wants to move up to a glass cockpit will be able to do so.”

Coming before the end of March 2008, the AML-STC enables Aspen Avionics to start shipping, and its dealers to start installing, Evolution Flight Display systems by March 31... on track with the schedule Aspen promised to its customers.

The complete Approved Model List and STC are available at the first FMI link below. Aspen says new models will be added regularly over the next few months.
