Game-Changing Auto-Pilot System Finishes Cert Tests
ANN has been monitoring the progress toward the certification of
what may, ultimately, become the most capable autopilot system in
all of General Aviation... for now. Well... as of November
19th, the Avidyne DFC100 TIA testing is complete and eventual
certification is now in the hands of the FAA. According to Avidyne
statements, the flights completed Friday were the final set of
flight tests the FAA had to conduct prior to certification. All of
the features and performance in the system were accepted without
change and there is no more FAA evaluation of the system
required.
