AML Includes Multiple Citation Models Now Approved For Articulated Mount
The FAA has approved an expansion of an STC held by Pentastar Aviation (ST03138CH) on the articulating yoke mount for Apple iPad to include Cessna Citation models. The update of the FAA Approved Model List (AML) allows Pentastar Aviation to install the specially engineered iPad mounts on Citation 500, 550, S550, 560, and 560XL model aircraft.
The FAA certification of the Citation model allows pilots to safely use the rapidly expanding technology and associated flight applications available on the iPad in-cockpit. This update to the AML enhances the original STC for a Class 2 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) mount that included the development of the first-in-class cockpit iPad fixture for Gulfstream Aerospace G-1159, G-1159A, G1159B, G-IV, GV, GV-SP and GIV-X model aircraft.
“With technology ever evolving, we know accessibility to it is key for pilots. When our engineering team designs a product like our iPad mount, we want to make it accessible to as many users as possible,” said Greg Schmidt, Pentastar Aviation President and CEO. “Adding Cessna models to the FAA Approved Model List allows us to do just that.”
The Pentastar Aviation avionics team delivers an unmatched combination of quality, technology, superior customer service, and meticulous attention to detail. With decades of experience, the team provides industry-leading avionics system integration design, STC development, and service and maintenance on the most sophisticated avionics systems in the marketplace today.
