Aspen Avionics Announces Availability of Version 2.0 Software Upgrade for Evolution Flight Displays
* High speed ARINC 429 inputs
* Pitot blockage detection
* Improved interface with the Remote Sensor Module to eliminate link failures
Version 2.0 also makes it possible for Aspen PFD owners to add Evolution Hazard Awareness (EHA) to their EFD1000 Flight Displays. The EHA upgrade for the EFD1000 Pro PFD integrates datalink weather, lightning detection, and traffic into its navigation display, and is fully compatible with many of the hazard sensors already installed in GA cockpits today. The EHA upgrade for the EFD1000 Pro PFD is also available as a bundled package with Aspen’s popular EWR50 Evolution Weather Receiver.
“Evolution Hazard Awareness for the Pro PFD is but the first of many optional upgrades we will release for our Flight Display products,” continued Uczekaj. “Aspen is actively developing other exciting features and capabilities that can be added to our PFDs and MFDs via software updates or through the addition of modular equipment. We will continue to build on our promise of providing GA aircraft owners with affordable, expandable and upgradable cockpit systems.”
The Version 2.0 field upgrade kit can be obtained free from Aspen and installed by any authorized dealer. The Evolution Hazard Awareness Software Upgrade Kit for the EFD1000 Pro PFD is listed at $795. The EHA Software Kit for the Pro PFD is available as a bundle package with the EWR50 Evolution Weather Receiver for $2,995. All Aspen units are available only through Aspen Avionics Authorized Dealers. A complete list of dealers can be found at www.aspenavionics.com/index.php/where-to-buy.
