Chelton Announces Amended STC For FlightLogic EFIS

Now Available For Many Business, Commercial Aircraft

S-TEC/Chelton Flight Systems, part of Cobham's Avionics and Surveillance Division, announced this week the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted an amendment to STC# SA02254AK, covering Part 23, Class III and IV aircraft.

"This amended STC grants thousands of Class III and IV aircraft operators a greater variety of installation options and system configurations, ultimately resulting in a more tailored flight management experience," said Greg Plantz, Vice President Sales and Marketing, S-TEC/Chelton Flight Systems. "It also provides increased capabilities and functionality," he continued, "by eliminating the requirement to use a costly third-party ADAHRS. We are able to dramatically lower the system cost on new installations – that's something every operator will appreciate."

Plantz also pointed out that while the amended STC was earned on a Piper Cheyenne IIIA, it actually includes a wide variety of popular Part 23, Class III and IV aircraft including:

  • Piston and turboprop Twin Commanders;
  • Piston and turboprop 400 series twin Cessnas;
  • Beechcraft King Airs;
  • Piper Cheyenne IIIA and 400;
  • Piaggio P-180s;
  • Pilatus PC-12s;
  • DeHavilland DHC-6 series,
  • and many others.

Based on this STC amendment, pilots considering or currently using "Single Screen," "2 or 3 Screen," "Dual Screen," or "4 or 6 Screen" Chelton FlightLogic Synthetic Vision Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS-SV) configurations are now approved to install the following upgrades:

  • Chelton Software Version 6.0B
  • Chelton Beta III GPS-WAAS
  • Chelton Remote Bugs Panel (RBP)

Pilots flying aircraft covered by the amended STC will realize numerous benefits, including:

  • Chelton's software version 6.0B delivers over 40 end-user upgrades from version 5.0C, such as WSI weather support or ADS-B Data Link, the ability to create a holding pattern at any fix or waypoint, and vertical deviation indicator for RNAV profiles and approaches.
  • Chelton's lightweight GPS-WAAS Beta III system will meet the requirements for a primary navigation receiver for en route and approach guidance.
  • Chelton's Remote Bugs panel features dedicated controls for frequently-used functions including the autopilot, controls for selecting and setting display parameters, and a Night Vision Goggle (NVG) Mode option.
  • Spectralux NexNav GPS sensor installation enables advanced Nav features such as vertical navigation (VNAV).
