Evolution Approvals

Aspen Avionics has added over 200 more airplanes to its FAA Approved Model List Supplemental Type Certificate (AML-STC) for the EFD1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD). The expanded AML builds on the original AML certification granted to the company in March 2008, and authorizes installation of Aspen’s Evolution PFD into more than 600 airplane makes and models, covering the vast majority of Class I and Class II airplanes flying today. The AML-STC enables avionics dealers to install the EFD1000 PFD without having to seek separate FAA field approvals for each installation.
