PXE7300 Takes IFE Out Of This World
PS Engineering, Inc. has gained STC/PMA on the PXE7300-SR
(Sirius Radio) version of their In-Flight Entertainment system.
This certification covers the installation of a PSM7390 Sirius
Radio receiver, as well as a fuselage-mounted satellite Radio
antenna, on a variety of popular general aviation aircraft using an
Approved Model List. After receiving FAA-Approval under the
Supplemental Type Certification process (STC SA2795AT) on February
22, 2004, PS Engineering began shipping systems to clear a
backorder of sales.
The PXE7300 panel unit was upgraded to act as the control head
for the Sirius radio module. In addition to selecting the Sirius
Radio (SR) mode, the PXE7300 controls the channels, and serves to
display the channel number, and title of the Sirius Audio "stream".
Sirius radio provides 100 commercial free audio streams, for a
$12.95 monthly subscription (or $6.99 if the PM7390 is your second
Sirius system). Lifetime subscription is available for $499. List
price of a complete PXE7300-SR system is $2,695.00, including the
PXE7300 unit, PSM7390 Sirius Module, and AT2300 satellite radio
antenna, plus installation materials.
"We had initially imagined that the satellite radio would be a
simple addendum to the existing PXE7300 certification" said Vice
President of Quality Systems, Gary Picou. "but we decided that the
added installation of an antenna and receiver warranted close
scrutiny. We proved that the electrical and environmental
performance criteria satisfied not only ourselves and the FAA that
the new components would not affect safety of flight and continue
to meet the standards of our industry"
