We are proud to announce the certification of the Shadin ADC6000 airdata system. With this approval, the DRVSM STC for installation in your Cessna Citation aircraft is immanent. We are currently scheduling installations for both terrain avoidance (TAWS) and Shadin ADC6000 for your citation aircraft.
World's first and only 3-D Synthetic Vision EFIS
Chelton Flight Systems has developed a state-of-the-art EFIS with situational awareness never before seen in any flight deck.
Introducing The FlightLogic Synthetic Vision EFIS- and its ready for integration in your panel!
The panel mount unit displays all your primary flight instruments as well as GPS WAAS navigation, terrain, weather, traffic and so much more.
With terrain depicted around you in a "look ahead" view, the display provides you with incredible situational awareness, increasing the overall safety for you and your passengers.
Features:
· A virtual 3-D skyway "tunnel" for enroute and instrument procedures
· Highway-in-the-Sky presentation
· Heads Up Display (HUD) technology
· Full aircraft interface to existing aircraft components
Approval:
Fully TSOed, FlightLogic received certification in March 2003 and is now certified in over 600 aircraft. As well, the terrain display is capable of being certified for Class B TAWS, without any expensive upgrades.
Best of all, Chelton has approved Modern Avionics as a Certified sales and Integration center for the FlightLogic EFIS. As a matter of fact, Chelton had enough confidence in us that we were asked to install a 3-display system in their newest factory demonstrator, a PA46 Malibu-Mirage JetProp.
Knowing that pushing the buttons and scrolling the knobs is the best way to see a unit work, we have demonstration units available for your convenience. Call to schedule a demo! Better yet, let us know when you're ready for the ground demo and we'll coordinate the ride in the PA46 demo aircraft.
Seeing is believing- especially when it keeps you out of harms way, IFR or VFR!
You're greatest concerns for you and your passengers-terrain, traffic, weather-are now solved with the new Synthetic Vision EFIS from Chelton!
RVSM IS HERE - MODERN AVIONICS IS READY FOR CESSNA CITATION OPERATORS
Domestic Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (DRVSM) is soon to be a requirement for virtually all jet operators and some turboprop operators in the continental United States. By January 20, 2005 all operations from FL290 to FL410 shall be separated by 1000 feet vertically, rather than the current 2000 feet. The regulation change will obviously require equipment calibration requirements as well as operational changes and certification.
Until now, there had been very limited options for satisfying this upcoming requirement. Modern Avionics has been active in the flight test and certification program for the Cessna Citation 500 series aircraft, spear-headed by AeroMech, Inc., the most widely known expert in RVSM aircraft certification. The flight-testing has involved collecting data and preparing the aircraft for the eventual approval. The airframe certification is expected in Spring 2004.
Those Citations with the Honeywell SPZ500 autopilot/flight director systems are expected to qualify for the proposed Digital AirData Computer (DADC) manufactured by The Shadin Co. of Minneapolis. As you know, The Shadin Company is famous for their AirData systems and fuel flow computers found in most all general and business aircraft today. The expected certification is also slated for Spring 2004.
CITATION RVSM SOLUTION:
What this means to you, the Citation operator, is this not only satisfies the upcoming requirement for DRVSM, but also offers the most functional of all DADC for the cockpit.
The ADC-6000 is your best choice, here's why,
· RVSM capable
· Minimal aircraft modification
· Adds to existing fuel/flight management
· Provides interface to MFD'S, EFIS, TAWS, FMS, PFD'S
· Supports existing autopilot/flight director systems
· Supports ETM functions
With all these functions, you get an added benefit-
The most affordable RVSM solution available today!!
If you find this hard to believe, compare the following:
Typical RVSM solution using competitors Altimeter/AirData range from $98,000 to over $120,000.
The Shadin ADC6000 comes complete with the necessary equipment and airframe approval starting at $73,000!
Modern Avionics will be ready to offer this RVSM solution for your Citation, along with the necessary documents for your maintenance and flight crew approval process.

TAWS UPDATE :

Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS) are soon to be a requirement for either Part 91 or Part 135 operations. By March 29, 2005, all U.S. registered turbine powered aircraft with 6 or more passenger seats will be required to comply with the TAWS mandate. In addition, Part 135 and Part 121 operators with 10 or

more passenger seats will be required to have a terrain display. Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) will be greatly reduced with the addition of the look-ahead technology of the newest EGPWS. Along with aural alerts and
annunciators, the interface to a Multi-Function Display (MFD) provides a graphical look at the terrain in your flight path and clearly idenifies the dangers ahead at, above or below your current altitude. Comfort and security are reinforced for you and your passengers as a result of EGPWS. For more information on the benefits of EGPWS or to obtain a proposal for integration, please call or email.
 
 
Multi-Function Displays (MFD):
Multi-Function Displays are occupying more panel space these days than ever thought was possible. Where did all that panel space come from? Well, the best chance at finding the room for one in your panel is if you have an on-board weather radar system.
MFD's can take the place of your weather radar display in most cases and continue to allow your radar system to function normally. In addition, the system can display your GPS map in graphic format, Stormscope data, Collision (TCAS/TAS) and Terrain (EGPWS) Avoidance information. Lastly, approach charting software is now depicted on the screen with your flight path superimposed over the chart for accurate visual positioning. Soon, weather uplink will be available to the cockpit. Demonstration units are available in our front lobby. Come in and see what your missing!
