Aspen Avionics specializes in bringing the most advanced
technology and capability from the commercial and business aviation
markets into General Aviation (GA) cockpits. Its products increase
situational awareness and reduce pilot workload, making it even
easier and safer to fly in both VFR and IFR conditions. The
company's philosophy is that getting the latest avionics technology
shouldn't always mean spending a lot of money - on equipment or on
installation.
Aspen's flagship product line is the Evolution Flight Display
system, the most innovative - and affordable - glass cockpit system
ever for certified GA aircraft. The Evolution system enables
aircraft owners to upgrade their primary flight instrument "six
pack" to glass cockpit technology all at once, or in stages. Easy
and inexpensive software upgrades add new features and
capabilities, while future-proofing the system and protecting
owners' investments.
The Evolution Flight Display
family was announced at EAA AirVenture in 2007. The FAA
certification process for the EFD1000 PFD took approximately 18
months, and Technical Standard Order (TSO) Authorization was
granted for the Evolution Pilot and Pro Primary Flight Displays
(PFDs) in March 2008. In March 2008, with certification and
production authority in hand, Aspen began shipping EFD1000 PFD
systems to customers that had ordered their PFD months before
certification. In January 2009 the European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) granted E-TSO authorization of the Evolution Flight
Display.
Liberty Aerospace was Aspen's first OEM contract for the Liberty
XL-2 in April 2008. In November 2008 Aspen signed a contract with
Diamond Aircraft, offering the EFD1000 PFD as standard equipment on
the DA20 two-seat trainer.
From the beginning there has been high demand for the Evolution
Flight Display and Aspen Avionics has been winning awards and
accolades. AOPA featured the EFD1000 Pilot PFD in their sweepstakes
plane in 2008. In May 2008 Aspen Avionics was awarded the Red
Herring Top 100, a recognition given to the top 100 private
technology startup companies in North America. Aero-News Network
named the EFD1000 and Aero-Product of the Year for 2008. In
February 2009 the Aspen Evolution PFD won the prestigious Flying
Magazine Editor's Choice Award. In April 2009 the Aircraft
Electronics Association (AEA) named Aspen Avionics its 2009 AEA
Associate Member of the Year. Most recently Aspen Avionics was
named a 2009 New Mexico Technology Flying 40 Company.
Led by industry veteran John Uczekaj, Aspen Avionics' team of
top talent - with deep roots in aviation product development and
certification - will continue to grow the company's business
through pioneering solutions for the GA market. The Evolution
Flight Display is the most affordable glass cockpit solution on the
market today. And until July 31, 2009, Aspen has made it more
affordable with the Grand Glass Rebate program, offering a $1000
rebate for all purchases of an EFD1000 Pro PFD.
