Issued by Avidyne Corporation.

April 2, 2009

Avidyne Corporation, a provider of integrated flight deck and safety systems for general aviation aircraft, has received approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for installation of the MLX770 Iridium datalink transceiver into pressurized aircraft in Europe. EASA had previously approved the MLX770 for installation in unpressurized metal and composite aircraft in Europe. With the new EASA approvals, Avidyne can now install the MLX770 systems on virtually any Part 23 aircraft. The FAA has also issued a Supplemental Type Certificate approval with an Approved Model List covering over 700 aircraft models.

The MLX770 offers comprehensive worldwide datalink weather services to the general aviation markets, and is initially designed to interface with Avidyne's EX500 and Entegra systems. Avidyne is also working with third-party integrators to develop interface compatibility for future installations in Part 25 twin turbo-prop and turbo-fan jets.
