John Uczekaj Installs Three-Display Evolution System In His
Diamond DA40
Aspen Avionics President and CEO John Uczekaj will be using a
blog to record his own experience as an Aspen customer, having
recently installed a three-display Evolution Flight Display System
in his personal airplane, a 2002 Diamond DA40. “I know that
many aircraft owners are wary of the cost and time involved in a
panel upgrade, and so I have documented and will be sharing the
details of my own installation in my own airplane,” says
Uczekaj. “Being both new to aircraft ownership and to flying,
I look forward to sharing my thoughts and experiences.”

The three-display package in Uczekaj's Diamond DA40 includes an
Aspen Evolution EFD1000 Pro PFD, an Evolution EFD1000 MFD and an
Evolution 500 MFD. "This is a great airplane to begin with, but now
with my new Aspen panel it is an amazing airplane," Uczekaj said.
"As a new pilot, the Aspen panel will bring a much higher level of
confidence and situational awareness to all of my flights."

“My installation was done at Santa Fe Aero
Services,” Uczekaj added. “This shop has remarkable
capabilities to tailor an installation and is a pleasure to work
with. Their professional approach to my installation and their
understanding of our products and my needs were a great relief to
what can only be described as an overwhelming experience for
someone, like me, who was doing all of this for the first
time.”
Uczekaj will be updating the blog with comments and photos on
how the Aspen installation went and will also provide regular
first-hand updates of his flying experiences with the Aspen
system.
