Aspen Avionics gets FAA nod

By Janice Wood · October 1, 2009 ·

Aspen Avionics has received its Approved Model List Supplemental Type Certificate (AML-STC) for the EFD500 Multi-Function Display (MFD); the EFD1000 MFD; and the EWR50 Weather Receiver.

This certification, combined with the TSO (Technical Standard Order) certification granted to the company nearly two weeks ago, authorizes installation of Aspen’s MFDs and weather receivers into more than 650 airplane makes and models, representing the majority of single-engine airplanes and light twins in the general aviation fleet, according to officials with the Albuquerque-based company.

Aspen units are available only through Aspen Avionics Authorized Dealers. A complete list of dealers, and product information, can be found at AspenAvionics.com.
