Evolution Authorized For European-Registered Beech Bonanzas
Pilatus PC-6 Aircraft
Aspen Avionics announced the approval of two additional EASA
STCs for the Evolution Primary Flight Display (PFD) system Tuesday.
Avionik Straubing of Germany has developed an STC for the
Beechcraft Bonanza 33, 35, and 36 series aircraft and RUAG Schweiz
A.G. of Switzerland has developed an STC for the Pilatus PC-6
series aircraft.
These are the first two EASA STCs incorporating the most current
Evolution Software Version 2.x, which received ETSO authorization
in April of this year. The 2.x Software provides many refinements
to the PFD system over the previous Software Version 1.1. The
expanded ETSO authorization received in April also includes
Evolution Multi-function Flight Display systems, the EA100
Autopilot Adapter and certain flight display system variants
specifically for helicopters and Part 23, Class III aircraft (those
over 6,000 pounds).
Bonanza G36
“Owning and operating aircraft in Europe is an expensive
proposition and so we feel good about providing customers with a
more affordable and feature-rich retrofit glass cockpit option that
gives pilots more utility out of their aircraft,” says Mark
Ferrari, Aspen’s Vice President of Sales and Customer
Support. “The Aspen system gives pilots the tools to have
better situational awareness and reduced pilot workload in the busy
European airspace."

Aspen’s European STC partner program continues to expand
and installation approvals for many aircraft makes and models are
currently being developed. A list Aspen Announces EASA STCs more of
EASA STCs and the respective holders may be viewed or downloaded
