Aspen Avionics reports that FAA certification has been received for its latest software upgrade, which includes several additional ADS-B display features on its Evolution 500/1000 multi-function display (MFD).
The latest software upgrade includes textual METARS information displayed on the MFD, which provides an intuitive display of subscription-free weather data in an easy-to-read format, company officials noted.
The expanded ADS-B IN display capability includes the following information on its Evolution MFD:
- Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs);
- Airman’s meteorological information (AIRMETS);
- Significant meteorological information (SIGMETS;)
- Convective SIGMETS;
- Winds Aloft;
- Temps Aloft;
- Terminal aerodrome forecast (TAF).
All Aspen and Aspen-compatible ADS-B products are capable of displaying the additional flight information on the MFD. To date, Aspen has partnered with L-3 Avionics Products, FreeFlight Systems and Garmin to ensure customers with Aspen cockpits have a choice in selecting how to become compliant without having to upgrade their entire panel and receive the most comprehensive data available, according to company officials.

Note they refer to it as an UPGRADE, which means, get our your wallet ready to write another large check. Overpriced SVT, overpriced AOA, and then this. Nice features, but I really-can’t-afford-them.
