EFD1000H Available For Installation In Bell 206, 407 Aircraft

Aspen Avionics announced the approval of a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for installation of the Aspen EFD1000H into the Bell 206 and Bell 407 model helicopters on Tuesday. This STC was developed in partnership with Keystone Helicopters.

The EFD1000H is the latest addition to the Evolution Flight Display System. Designed and manufactured to meet the rigors of helicopter operations, Aspen’s EFD1000H enables rotorcraft operators to replace their legacy mechanical flight instruments with state-of-the-art electronic displays with little to no modification of the existing panel. “This certification project has been many months in the making and we are looking forward to offering the Evolution glass panel system to Bell owners and operators,” says Anson Gray, Aspen’s Helicopter Sales Manager. “The EFD1000H’s lightweight, compact form and specially designed vibration-isolating kit will be a huge plus for helicopter operators looking for a glass cockpit upgrade,” he adds.

“Aspen Avionics brings to rotary operators the same great benefits of upgradability, compatibility, and customization that has made the Evolution System so popular with fixed-wing owners,” said John Uczekaj, President and CEO Aspen Avionics. He adds, “Of particular benefit to those operators working in high pressure environments such as law enforcement and medical transportation, the Aspen Evolution System provides phenomenal situational awareness that enhances safety and reduces pilot workload.”
