Universal Avionics announces the first ever FAA STC certification for its EFI-890R Display retrofit into a Learjet Model 25D on 01-May-2007 by Stevens Aviation in Nashville, TN. The LR25 has also been equipped with Universals Synthetic Vision System "Vision-1" and the Application Server Unit providing WSI™ Weather and Jeppesen™ Charts for a paperless cockpit, UNS-1L FMS and Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) Class A. This FAA STC encompasses Learjet Models 25, 25A, 25B, 25C and 25F.

Universal's synthetic vision system allows the pilot to see a computer generated rendering of the terrain ahead of the aircraft and is designed for the EFI-890R Primary Flight Display (PFD). The system maintains the standard foreground symbology with traditional flight director cues and replaces the blue/brown background with heading, pitch and roll oriented color terrain imagery in real time. The EFI-890R Navigation Display (ND) provides a view of the aircraft, flight plan and terrain from a position situated behind, above and to the right of the aircraft (wingman position). JeppView™ Charts for a paperless cockpit, weather graphics and TAWS Terrain Awareness & Warning System are also displayed on the EFI-890R Navigation Display.

Frank Golden of Stevens Aviation has overseen the installation of the Universal System into the Learjet from start to finish. "He says this project has been the highlight of his career".

The Learjet 25D is owned by Best Jets based in Denison, Texas and is its first Best Jets 21st Century Learjet 25 "Platinum Edition" aircraft.
