AEA: Aspen Reduces Prices On Evolution 1000 PFDs

0

As the AEA Convention opens this week in Las Vegas, Aspen Avionics is rolling out temporarily reduced prices for its flagship Evolution 1000 Pro PFD retrofit EFIS systems. Until the end of April, the Evolution Pro 1000 PFD price will be reduced to $8995 from $10,995, a reduction of 18 percent. The Evolution Pro Plus PFD, which includes Aspen’s angle-of-attack system and synthetic vision software, will be cut to $10,495 from $13,995 or a 25 percent discount.

Because they fit into conventional instrument cutouts, Aspen’s EFIS products have proven popular for aircraft owners who want sophisticated upgrades without major disruption of the existing panel. The displays are largely self-contained and are equipped with integral air data computers and ADAHRS, with emergency backup GPS and a backup battery that will operate the systems in the event of total electrical failure. Aspen says even the basic Evolution 1000 Pro is upgradeable for owners who want to stage their avionics investments. The displays integrate with most legacy autopilots.

AVweb will have more reporting this week from the AEA convention, where more new product announcements are expected from Aspen and other manufacturers.
