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.
Aspen is pleased to offer our latest product at OSH2014 – The Evolution 1000 VFR Primary Flight Display. Aspen’s Evolution 1000 VFR PFD meets the needs of VFR pilots now and provides an easy and affordable software upgrade to an Aspen Evolution Pro PFD for IFR operations. And, at $4995 it combines situational awareness and safety into a single flat panel liquid crystal display that grows with a pilot’s evolving flight skills.
At OSH2014, Aspen is also pleased to offer a free trial of its Evolution Synthetic Vision (ESV) system with a purchase of a new EFD1000 Pro Primary Flight Display. Pilots will have the opportunity to use this safety-enhancing technology for free during their first 10-inflight hours. We think aircraft owners will appreciate test flying ESV prior to purchasing it. Once they experience the enhanced situational awareness ESV provides, we believe aircraft owners will want to keep it. Aspen’s Evolution Synthetic Vision has a built-in Terrain Warning System. Combined terrain and flight path marker coloring, caution and warning text, and an audio warning signal, alerts the pilot when terrain or obstacle hazards conflict with the flight path.
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.
Aspen Avionics continues to innovate with products like Connected PanelTM, a revolutionary product line that provides a wireless link between certified instrument panel avionics and portable smart devices. Leveraging Aspen’s Approved Model List, Connected Pilot is available to operators and owners of over 900 makes and models of aircraft.
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 general aviation market.
