This happens when you get older.

Aspen Avionics? Sure big enough for me.

I was there all week and never heard that name uttered.

They were on the east side of a center aisle toward the south end of one
of the four big buildings (A/B/C/D... I can never remember which
building a vendor is in). They had a nice bag they were giving away, but
they didn't have many and what they had went quickly.

The most interesting OOPSIE! I witnessed was the F-15E over-rotation on
takeoff Tuesday afternoon for the Heritage Flight. It happened very
quickly and too fast for me to get a photo. Good thing he was in burner
or it would have been a double nozzle stike.

There's another thread on this active in the groups already, but here's
the link:

Basically, a PFD/MFD concept for the rest of us, IOW for retrofitting
existing certified aircraft. MUCH cheaper than the Garmin G600, MUCH
easier to install, and a very neat form factor to fit into existing
round cut-outs in the panel. Yes, I did say "certified" ;-)

IMHO, this has the potential of becoming a "must-have" item like the
Garmin 430/530 a few years back. Same price range, too.

I checked aspen avionics website and could not find any information
on whether any of their systems are IFR certified.
I am under the impression that Garmin G600 is IFR certified.

Dang, I thought that was intentional. A very cool departure!

Longworth,

They say on the site that the unit is certified. What exactly do you
mean by "IFR certified"? It's not a GPS...
