Universal Avionics and Sikorsky Sign Order for 132 FMSs for S-92s
Deliveries of the Universal SBAS FMSs are expected to begin in a few months and continue through 2020.

Universal Avionics Systems signed a more than $11-million agreement with Sikorsky Aircraft on February 23 to supply 132 satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) flight management systems for Sikorsky S-92s destined for a number of operators that include PHI, CHC and Bristow. Deliveries of the Universal SBAS FMSs are expected to begin in a few months and continue through 2020, according to Robert Clare, director of sales at Universal Avionics.

Although the total order averages about $85,000 per aircraft, the cost to the customer will vary by the enhancements added and the number of units ordered.
