Aspen Avionics

Written by Head of Training | 24 May 2011

The award-winning Aspen Evolution™ 1000 series Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) deliver exceptionally easy-to-use, advanced glass panels at the lowest price on the market. Choose from the least expensive high-performance basic glass panel 1000 Pilot PFD or the top-of-theline 1000 Pro PFD. Not only are Aspen PFDs the most affordable GA glass on the market, your fly-away cost is made even lower because Aspen’s patented retrofit technology delivers substantially lower installation costs. There’s no need for expensive new panel modifications; Evolution Flight Displays (EFDs) uniquely retrofit directly into your aircraft’s six-pack panel holes. The self-contained EFDs also don’t require the installation of heavy remote mount boxes. And since Evolution displays work with the avionics already in your panel — no matter what make — you don’t have to upgrade your GPS or radios. The 1000 Pilot and 1000 Pro PFDs provide professional-grade EFIS primary flight instruments. The Pilot has a slaved Directional Gyro while the Pro includes a full-featured electronic HSI with moving map. Choose the level of features and capabilities that suit your needs and budget. Evolution EFDs are fully software upgradable, so you can upgrade your PFD from Pilot to the Pro, add comprehensive hazard awareness capabilities, and other new features — all without removing the display from your panel. Evolution also delivers greater flexibility since Aspen flight displays work with your existing GPS, radios, and traffic sensors, so you don’t have to upgrade them until you’re ready. The highly flexible Evolution Primary Flight Displays are the only upgradable single PFD glass panels available and deliver the lowest cost option for adding PFD glass to your aircraft. The modular Evolution system lets you expand your glass panel with one or two Multi-function Flight Displays (MFDs) as your needs grow and your budget permits.
