IS&S receives STC approval for Eclipse cockpit upgrade
Innovative Solutions and Support (IS&S) has added electronic chart and XM satellite weather display to the avionics upgrade it provides for the Eclipse

Innovative Solutions and Support (IS&S) has added electronic chart and XM satellite weather display to the avionics upgrade it provides for the Eclipse 500. The company signed a contract with Eclipse Aerospace late last month to add the upgrade following FAA STC and TSO approvals.

The Exton, Pa.-based manufacturer of aircraft integrated electronic display systems made its name as a major player in enabling reduced vertical separation minimums (RVSM) compliance, garnering 75 percent of the retrofit market. Geoffrey Hedrick, IS&S founder, chairman and CEO, recently told AIN that IS&S was
selected early in 2007 to develop a replacement for the Avidyne avionics in the Eclipse. During the next nine months Eclipse Aviation delivered between 80 and 90 aircraft with the Avidyne Avio equipment.
