Elliott Aviation earns FAA nod for digital flight data recorder

By Janice Wood · January 19, 2010 ·

Elliott Aviation has received Supplemental Type Certification (STC) for the installation of a Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) in a Beechjet 400/400A and a Hawker 400XP.

The certification aircraft, a Beechjet 400, also received a new Hawker 400XP interior and fresh paint at Elliott Aviation’s aircraft refurbishment center at Quad Cities International Airport (MLI) in Moline, Ill. Elliott Aviation officials add they are pursuing STC approval from the European Aviation Safety Association (EASA) for the DFDR installation, and hope to secure certification in time for the European Business Aviation Convention & Exposition (EBACE) in May.
