be priced at $4,690, and enables
functions like a horizontal situation
indicator, lateral and vertical
deviation indicators (ILS, localizer,
VOR, GPS, and vertical guidance),
a flight director and even a radio
altimeter, if installed. Options include XM
Wx satellite-based
weather information,
traffic and lightning
detection display.
Coyne also announced
availability of synthetic
vision from Aspen as
another option. To promote
the new capability, all new
buyers of the company's
EFD1000 PFD will have the
opportunity to use Aspen's
Evolution Synthetic Vision
for free during their first
10 flight hours. The ESV
capability is an optional
software upgrade to
Aspen's Evolution Flight
The Aspen Evolution 1000 VFR
Display System. It presents
Primary Flight Display
a real-time, computergenerated, 3-D view of
terrain, obstacles and traffic. The PFD's synthetic terrain
rendering simulates the cockpit view on a bright day, so
it's especially helpful in providing enhanced situational
awareness when visibility is reduced. Aspen's ESV
comes standard with an integrated terrain warning
system, combining terrain and flight path marker
coloring, caution and warning test, plus an audio alert
when terrain or obstacle collision is imminent.

Aviation Modification Leaders
Increasingly, in-flight entertainment aboard
corporate and business aircraft depends on connecting
a passenger's personal electronic device to the installed
video and audio playback equipment. In the past,
ensuring convenient and high-quality connections has
involved dedicated wiring and ports, both of which
can be expensive to install and maintain. Since the

AML's inductive
wireless charging
device for PEDs

consumer electronics industry
doesn't have an FAA to worry
about certifications, it's much easier for it to
adopt new standards and implement them in a short
time frame than it is for an aircraft operator to rip
out working equipment just because a smartphone
manufacturer changed its connector design.
A good solution to combating cabin equipment
obsolescence is to go wireless, and that's one of the
big ideas behind Mark Lange's company, Aviation
Modification Leaders, or AML. Lange, AML's president
and founder, told attendees at the AEA Convention that
his company is close to completing a redesign of its
OML-200 Wi-Fi router. Once finished, the OML-200
will be available in six models, all of which feature
what he called "service neutrality." The product
will work with all popular in-flight Internet service
providers, and an STC is in the works.
The company also is redesigning its OML-100 router.
It will remain the smallest purpose-built Wi-Fi solution
for aviation applications, according to the company.
Its portable design, which can receive power from
cigarette lighter adapters, means no STC is required
for the OML-100, although the company is working on
one. Both routers feature an acceleration module, which
AML said applies to certain kinds of Internet traffic and
can result in a 200 to 300 percent performance increase.
Both routers also require a separate satellite-based
antenna/data system.
Another product Lange highlighted is AML's
inductive wireless charging device for PEDs. The new
product uses the wireless charging capabilities built
into many current smartphones and tablets - or added
through widely available accessories - to charge their
batteries through induction. No wires or cables are
required to connect the PED, and the device being
charged also can be used to share media wirelessly with
other cabin equipment.
