EFD1000 Continues To 'Evolve' In Market
Aspen Avionics told Aero-News Wednesday the European Aviation
Safety Agency has issued European Technical Standard Order (ETSO)
authorizations for the EFD1000 Primary Flight Displays. This
approval paves the way both for installation of the EFD1000 PFDs in
European aircraft -- subject to aircraft-specific installation
approvals -- and for expansion of Aspen’s European dealer
network.
These ETSOs enable EASA-certified Design Organizations to pursue
aircraft-specific approvals for installing the Evolution system in
aircraft registered in Europe. Aspen says it continues to work with
EASA towards broader Approved Model List Supplemental Type
Certifications (AML-STC) for European aircraft.
The company also plans to work with and support European Design
Organizations pursuing individual model STCs, aiming to achieve the
broadest possible list of approvals for the Evolution Flight
Display system.
"European aircraft owners have been anxiously waiting for
approval to install the Evolution system in their airplanes. EASA's
timely issuance of this ETSO is a big step closer to that goal,"
said Doug Cayne, VP of Marketing at Aspen Avionics.
"The European market is critically important to Aspen," Cayne
continued, "and this ETSO and expected further EASA approvals will
enable Aspen to accelerate expansion of its European dealer network
and OEM partners."
Aspen Avionics sells and supports its products through a network
of more than 400 Authorized Dealers on five continents, in over 20
countries, including 10 EASA member nations. In 2009, the company
plans to expand its non-US dealer network substantially, with a
special emphasis on the important European market.
