NEW HELICOPTER EFIS FOR LIGHT TO MEDIUM HELICOPTER MARKET

摘要

Operators of small, light to medium helicopters operating under FAR Part 27 (under 6,000 lbs) will soon be able to better afford a lightweight VFR EFIS following initial supplemental type certification of Aspen Avionics' EFD1000H. Aspen Avionics has received its first STC for the new Evolution Flight Display EFD1000H, a low-cost, lightweight EFIS designed for the light to medium-weight single and twin-engine helicopter market. The STC was for the Bell 206, using an aircraft borrowed from Summit Helicopters, a Bell Helicopter-certified repair station in Roanoke, Va., and obtained working in partnership with Coatesville, Pa.-based Keystone Helicopter Corp.
