Aspen Avionics is exhibiting at this month’s Heli-Expo convention in Houston, marking the first time the six-year-old company has had a presence at a helicopter show.

The Albuquerque, N.M. avionics maker started out with a line of flat-panel displays for light general aviation airplanes and has slowly expanded its product portfolio since then to include class-3 airplanes weighing up to 12,500 pounds and many helicopter types. The company’s EFD 1000 and MFD 1000 products are flying in a variety of helicopters, from Hueys and OH-58s to the MD500 and Bell 206. New STCs for the 206 and Bell 407 are expected to be in hand in time for Heli-Expo.
