Saratoga First Beneficiary
WSI
Corporation has completed a major milestone in the certification
process for the company's industry-leading WSI InFlight™
cockpit weather briefing system. The Federal Aviation
Administration issued a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the
installation of a WSI InFlight AV200 system into a Piper Saratoga
(PA- 32R-301).
"The significance of WSI InFlight receiving the STC cannot be
overemphasized," said Lynne Wilson, Executive Vice President of
WSI's Aviation and Marine Business Group. "WSI has demonstrated
that the WSI InFlight system meets the FAA's high standards for
airworthiness."
WSI and its manufacturing partner, SANDIA
aerospace, have submitted the application for Parts Manufacturing
Authority (PMA) for WSI InFlight, the final step in certifying the
system. "Upon the FAA's issuance of the PMA for the WSI InFlight
system, WSI will immediately begin shipping certified AV200 systems
to our authorized dealers, with preference given to fulfilling
orders in our backlog."
The WSI InFlight AV200 system is designed to integrate with many
popular multi-functional displays, most Electronic Flight Bags
(EFBs) as well as other display devices.
"Pilots will benefit from the superior weather
information provided by the WSI InFlight system. This milestone
brings us close to the finish line in bringing aviation's most
trusted weather products to the cockpit," said Arlo Gambell,
Director of Aviation Services for WSI.
MSRP for the AV100 system is $3,495, plus installation. Data
service subscriptions for both systems start at $49.95 per
month.
