The installation was completed at
Duncan Aviation’s Battle Creek, Mich.,
facility, supported by a sales, certification,
engineering and production team that
included members from across multiple
Duncan Aviation locations.
It was completed in just more
than eight weeks and was done in
conjunction with a Pro Line 4 to 21
upgrade. Through its organization
designation authorization, Duncan
Aviation certified this new STC in
January 2013, marking the first of many
STCs expected in 2013.
“This installation and certification
demonstrates the advantage our
ODA team provides,” said CHAD
OSTERTAG,
Duncan
Aviation’s
avionics sales representative. “It is
truly remarkable that this STC, from
application to certificate issuance,
was accomplished in just 53 days.
This STC upgrades existing standby
instrumentation from the original three
units into one easy-to-read display and
gives Falcon 2000 operators the last
piece of glass for the popular Pro Line
21 retrofit.”

Aspen Avionics
GippsAero,
the
aircraft
manufacturing arm of Mahindra
Aerospace, announced it received
European Aviation Safety Agency
certification for the installation of a
single ASPEN AVIONICS EFD1000
PFD system into the GA8 and GA8TC 320 Airvan aircraft.
The Aspen EFD1000 PFD comes
with software version 2.X unit and
allows for integration with GPS and
navigation sources, such as the
Garmin touch navigators GTN 750
and GTN 650.
For IFR aircraft, a co-requisite of
this installation is the requirement
for a standby attitude indicator.

GippsAero installs the Mid-Continent
4300-411 electric attitude indicator
with battery backup.
The Aspen EFD1000 was the first
EFIS to be fitted to the GA8 and
allows for the retention of the standby
airspeed indicator and altimeter in
the same location as used in the
traditional six pack.
In anticipation of early orders,
GippsAero has one aircraft with the
Aspen EFD 1000 Pro installation
already positioned at Cranfield in the
U.K. and available for demonstrations.
