Installation Now Approved In Over 700 Aircraft Models
Aspen Avionics, Inc., manufacturer of the Evolution Flight
Display System, announced on Wednesday an amendment to the
Transport Canada Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) that grants
installation approval of the system in Canada. The amended STC now
enables all aircraft on Aspen’s Approved Model List (AML) of
over 700 aircraft to install the Evolution Primary Flight Display
(PFD) and Multi-Function Display (MFD) product lines.
It also recognizes a FAA allowance to remove most mechanical
backup flight instruments upon installation of Aspen’s
Evolution PFD and MFD with DuoSafe capabilities.
The benefit to Canada-based owners and operators is that now all
aircraft registered in Canada that fall under Aspen’s AML
have an approval path to install Aspen’s glass cockpit
solution. The Aspen Evolution Flight Display System is an
affordable, expandable and upgradable PFD, MFD and hazard sensor
cockpit solution for general aviation aircraft. Highly compatible
with existing aircraft avionics, the Evolution Flight Display
System lets aircraft owners install all Evolution Flight Displays
and options at once, or separately, as their needs and budgets
permit.
This milestone reflects Aspen’s commitment to work with
Transport Canada to expand the STC to include many other aircraft
manufactured outside the USA and Canada. Through an existing
agreement with the FAA, Transport Canada already accepts FAA STCs
issued for aircraft manufactured in the USA.
“Aspen is serious about expanding our customer base and
the availability of our products on a global level. The strength of
our relationship with Transport Canada and other aviation
authorities around the world are key to this effort,” says
Director of Marketing Brad Hayden. “Transport Canada has
allowed us to bring our award winning products and customer support
to more Canadian aircraft owners and operators who will benefit
from our safety enhancing and affordable glass cockpit
solutions,” he continued.
