OSH2014 Sponsor: Aspen Avionics

Aspen Avionics specializes in bringing the most advanced technology and capability into general aviation cockpits. Our products increase situational awareness and reduce pilot workload, making it even easier and safer to fly in both VFR and IFR conditions. Our philosophy is that getting the latest avionics technology shouldn’t always mean spending a lot of money—on equipment or on installation. 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.

U.S. Marine Corps Based Secondary School Will Use Redbird’s Redhawk Training Aircraft And Redbird Skyport’s Migration Training Curriculum

Since 1965, the Marine Military Academy (MMA) has offered a high-school experience based on the principles of the U.S. Marine Corps, including active and retired Marines on its faculty. This September, their flight-training program will use Redhawks, the diesel-powered, remanufactured 172s that represent one component of a comprehensive flight training system from Redbird Flight Simulations.

STC Allows Vantage Engine Replacement In Cessna 172s

Superior Air Parts has entered into an agreement with Tulsa-based Christiansen Aviation to obtain an FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) that will allow Superior’s FAA-certified 180-horsepower Vantage Engine to be used on Cessna 172 aircraft.

The Eclipse 550: Economical. Efficient. Incredible.

The Eclipse 550 not only has the lowest acquisition cost of any twin-engine jet on the planet, it also has the lowest operating costs and is the most fuel-efficient twin-engine jet in production today. But its efficiencies don’t end with cost and fuel burn. We build the Eclipse to be incredibly simple to operate and maintain. Designed to be flown single-pilot, the Eclipse 550 comes standard with an advanced Integrated Flight Management System (IFMS) that acts as a virtual copilot as you fly, increasing situational awareness, monitoring systems, and giving you over speed and under speed protection with the only Auto Throttle in the light jet market. The simplicity of flight that the IFMS provides is truly unrivaled in our class.

‘This Project Is Not Just About Building The Airplane; The Important Part Of This Project Is That We Can Share It With So Many Other People’

If anything could relate to sport aviation more than the one week wonder project at EAA AirVenture this year, it would be hard to find. Organizers hope that the fact that thousands of people will participate in the building of a Zenith 750 Cruzer in front of the whole world at AirVenture will inspire and encourage the homebuilding movement.
