Kansas City Aviation Center announces placement of first order of Universal Avionics' WAAS-FMS systems for immediate installation

Kansas City Aviation Center (KCAC) has expanded its relationship with Universal Avionics by placing a significant launch order for Universal's certified WAAS "W" FMS series for immediate installation into general aviation aircraft. The Universal WAAS-FMS system is the first system of its kind that can be installed in Part 23 & 25 aircraft. KCAC is currently taking deposits and scheduling the installation.

The WAAS-FMS allows pilots to shoot approaches down to 200ft, which is the most accurate approach available. "The Universal WAAS System is going to revolutionize both private and commercial aviation," stated William Benton, KCAC Program Certification Manager. "This WAAS system will allow pilots an added safety factor that is currently lacking on aircraft providing an extra level of comfort due to its accuracy."

"KCAC has forged a strong relationship with Universal that has allowed a level of communication and coordination that is unparalleled in the aviation industry," said Angelo Fiataruolo, General Manager of KCAC. "The teamwork that we have developed allows us to work closely with our customers as well as interact with Universal to provide the most sophisticated avionics packages on the market."
