EASA Approves Aspen Avionics For Airbus Helicopters

Motorflug Baden-Baden GmbH STC Now Available To Eurocopter 120B Operators

EASA has approved the installation of Aspen’s EFD1000H Primary Flight Display (PFD) into the Eurocopter 120B under EASA Supplemental Type Certificate 10048141.

Aspen say its helicopter PFD system is a perfect fit for the Eurocopter 120B platform. The EFD1000H PFD is a solid-state electronic flight instrument system which provides a modern alternative to mechanical attitude indicators, directional gyros and horizontal situation indicators. The EASA approval now provides a path for EC-120B operators to affordably upgrade their aging mechanical instruments with reliable glass panel technology.

“Aspen’s unique retrofit technology is ideal for the helicopter market,” says Mark Ferrari, Aspen’s Vice President of Sales and Customer Support. “The combination of superior digital ADAHRS reliability, affordable pricing, and robust features that increase situational awareness is what makes the Evolution Flight Display System such a compelling solution for Eurocopter operators.”

EFD1000H PFD features:

  • Airspeed, attitude, altitude, turn rate, slip/skid, magnetic direction and vertical speed
  • Available with either slaved directional gyro (DG) or horizontal situation indicator (HSI) functionality
  • DG and HSI pilot configurable for either 360 degree or 100 degree arc views
  • Map of GPS flight plan may be under laid behind DG or HSI
  • HSI version provides full interface with navigation receivers
  • Solid-state air data computer and attitude reference system
  • Built-in 30 minute backup battery
  • Built-in emergency GPS sensor

The single EFD1000H PFD system retails for $14,995. Customers should contact Motorflug Baden-Baden GmbH or their Aspen Avionics authorized dealer for additional installation and STC package costs.
