EASA Approves EFD1000H PFD For Bell And Bell/Agusta 206

Retrofit Avionics Allows Operators To Upgrade To Glass Panels

EASA has approved installation of Aspen Avionics' EFD1000H Primary Flight Display (PFD) into Bell and Bell/Agusta 206 models under EASA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) 10053378.

The lightweight and compact form factor of Aspen’s helicopter PFD system is a perfect fit for the Bell 206 platform. The EFD1000H PFD is a solid-state electronic flight instrument system which provides a modern alternative to mechanical attitude indicators, directional gyros and horizontal situation indicators. The EASA approval now provides a path for Bell 206 operators to affordably upgrade their aging mechanical instruments with reliable glass panel technology.

“Aspen’s unique retrofit technology is ideal for the helicopter market,” says Mark Ferrari, Aspen’s vice president of sales and customer support. “The combination of superior digital ADAHRS reliability, affordable pricing, and robust features that increase situational awareness is what makes the Evolution Flight Display System such a compelling solution for Bell 206 operators.”

The single EFD1000H PFD system retails for $14,995.  Customers should contact Florian Kindzorra at Avionik Straubing or their Aspen Avionics authorized dealer for additional installation and STC package costs.
