Kansas City Aviation Center earns STC to upgrade PC-12 avionics

By General Aviation News Staff · September 8, 2006 ·

Kansas City Aviation Center has been awarded an STC to install Universal Avionics’ EFI-890R displays on Pilatus PC-12 single-engine turboprop aircraft.

The Johnson County Airport-based (OJC) service center in Olathe, Kan., partnered with Universal Avionics in a six-month pilot program to retrofit triple EFI-890R displays on a PC-12. With the FAA certification complete, Kansas City Aviation Center is now scheduling aircraft for the upgrade.

The EFI-890R features 8.9-inch high-definition Active Matrix Liquid Crystal displays (AMLCD), which are fully integrated with the aircraft’s existing avionics. The large-format displays replace the PC-12’s existing ADI, HSI, radar indicator, altimeter, VSI, RMI and airspeed indicators, creating an uncluttered cockpit environment with easy-to-read, advanced flight data, company officials say. The new displays offer synthetic vision, aeronautical charts, satellite weather, TAWS, video and more.
