Advancements in the consumer electronics industry are making their way into cockpits of business aircraft. High resolution flat-panel displays, synthetic-vision systems, flight-management systems with integrated situation awareness capabilities, GPS receivers, high-speed computing and mass data storage are all becoming common upgrades in many corporate and general aviation aircraft. Here at EBACE plenty of this new, more affordable and capable equipment is on display.

Avidyne Corp. (Booth No. 563) is involved in several initiatives. In collaboration with Southern Star Avionics, the company is developing a flight deck retrofit for the Hawker Beechcraft King Air 90 series of twin turboprops using its Envision integrated suite. An STC will add A through E series King Airs to the approved model list.
