Cirrus SR22 Gets The Upgrade Across The Pond
Avidyne Corporation announced Friday that RGV Aviation Limited
of Gloucester, U.K. has completed and delivered the first
internationally-based Cirrus SR22 aircraft retrofit of an Entegra
Release 9 Integrated Flight Deck (IFD) system.
"We are quite familiar with Avidyne, working closely with them
most recently on their MLX770 and TWX670 retrofits, so partnering
on the Entegra Release 9 retrofit program is a natural fit for us,"
said Alec Vincent, RGV's Avionics Manager. "We've been really
impressed with the Release 9 system, and we have many customers who
are now inquiring about upgrading their aircraft."
"RGV is recognized across Europe for their expertise in Cirrus
aircraft maintenance and avionics retrofits, and they were a
terrific partner to have as our first international Entegra Release
9 installation facility," said Patrick Herguth, Avidyne's Chief
Operating Officer. "There are a large number of Cirrus aircraft
flying in Europe, and RGV is leading the way in allowing these
owner-operators to transition to enhanced safety and utility of
Entegra Release 9."
Entegra Release 9 is currently certified as a retrofit upgrade
for existing Entegra-equipped Cirrus SR20 and SR22 aircraft.
Avidyne offers Silver, Gold, and Platinum configurations of the
Entegra Release 9 system for Cirrus SR20 & SR22, starting at
$39,500. Avidyne is now accepting Entegra Release 9 orders
for mid-September deliveries for domestically-owned Cirrus aircraft
and also for N-registered Cirrus aircraft in international
markets.
