Aspen Avionics Receives Technical Standard Order (TSO) on Evolution MAX Primary Flight and Multi-Function Displays
New MAX product line offers the latest avionics glass technology, hardware, safety features and faster processing speeds

Aspen also offers an unprecedented upgrade program which allows customers to upgrade their existing unit to a MAX display and receive a new-two year warranty

Today, Aspen Avionics announces it has received TSO approval on its line of Evolution MAX primary and multi-function displays. With redesigned electronics and new glass, the Evolution MAX series displays offer a bolder and brighter display with higher reliability and several customer-requested functions such as font and window enlargement and increased processing speeds, all while retaining Aspen’s unique form factor design that keeps installation costs down. Type Inspection Authorization (TIA) flight test has been completed with FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval imminent. Customers purchasing the new Evolution MAX displays get more functions, safety features and improved reliability priced below the MSRP of Aspen’s legacy Evolution displays. New Evolution MAX units and MAX upgrade units will begin shipping in mid-July.

The unprecedented MAX display upgrade program provides current owners of Aspen equipment an opportunity to upgrade their existing Aspen EFIS system regardless of age or condition and receive the latest avionics glass technology, hardware, faster processing speeds and receive a new two-year warranty at the approximate cost of a steam gauge overhaul.

“We’re not aware of any manufacturer in this industry that offers this type of upgrade program”, said John Uczekaj, president and CEO. “Our corporate philosophy from the time we introduced the Evolution 1000 PFD 12 years ago was to offer new functions and safety features our current customers could adopt affordably and, provide future owners the peace of mind that their investment is protected as technology evolves”, continued Uczekaj.

All MAX displays can be configured for one, two, or three units – providing more glass display area and information than leading competitors. As always, customers can choose to upgrade all at once, or start with a single unit display.

Key features of the MAX series:

  • GPS-aided AHRS in the event of pitot static failure
  • New, vibrant colors with the latest aviation glass
  • Higher reliability and faster refresh rates with the latest generation processors
  • Audio panel interface
  • Chart and countdown timers available on MFD500 and MFD1000 MAX MFDs
  • 350 nm zoom levels on MFD500 and MFD1000 MAX MFDs
  • Height above ground level (AGL) on navigation and terrain maps on MFD500 and MFD1000 MAX MFDs
  • METAR flags on navigation map on MFD500 and MFD1000 MAX MFDs
  • Altitude intercept based on climb rate
  • Font and window enlargement capability
  • Large, 6.0” diagonal, 400 x 760 pixel TFT Active Matrix LCD screen with bolder and brighter resolution
  • Sixteen million display colors
  • Works with existing avionics
  • Patented, unique form-fit design slides easily into existing panel cutouts
  • Approved for over 600 aircraft types (Aircraft Model List)
