Tucson, AZ – October 10, 2006 – Universal Avionics along with IFR Avionics announced today that the first EFI-890R G-III flight deck retrofit is underway. The installation will include 4-Universal Avionics EFI-890 flat panel displays, the Vision-1™ Synthetic Vision System, Electronic Charts (ASU), and dual Radio Tuning Units (RCU). Options for future installations include EVS (Enhanced Vision System), AHRS (Attitude/Heading Reference Sensors), RADAR, and FMS upgrades.

The core of this system is the Universal EFI-890 high-definition LCD display. This 8.9” diagonal display is the only large display system capable of both Synthetic Vision and Electronic Charts on the market today. In addition, flexible interface capability and ease of installation means a lower “out the door” price than competitive products.

IFR Avionics is the first company in the world to perform an installation and certification of this exciting product on a Gulfstream model G-III. Completion of the initial aircraft and subsequent STC approval is on schedule for early 1st Qtr ’07. IFR is also looking for a Gulfstream model G-II candidate aircraft to add to this STC.
