Tamarack adds DGAC Mexico installation approval

Tamarack Aerospace Group announced today that it has received approval for installation of its Atlas Active Winglets from the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC) in Mexico. This is in addition to approvals from EASA, FAA, ANAC and Transport Canada.

Brian Cox, president of Tamarack Aerospace, said “We're pleased to add another regulatory approval to our existing certifications. Tamarack is committed to making our Active Winglet technology available wherever CitationJets are operated, and so the opening of this market is an important step, particularly for our customers in Mexico. We've also just reached the milestone of 75 CitationJets upgraded with Active Winglets, and so it is exciting to have a both a growing fleet of upgraded aircraft and a comprehensive set of regulatory approvals under our belt.”

Tamarack Active Winglets are the only aerodynamic technology on the market today that can reduce time to climb and fuel burn, while increasing range and aircraft stability, without any structural reinforcement, yielding significant time and cost savings. Tamarack Active Winglets are approved via EASA, FAA, ANAC and Transport Canada Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for installation on the Cessna CJ, CJ1, CJ1+, M2, CJ2, CJ2+, CJ3 and CJ3+ business jets.

The operational benefits that owners will typically see with an Active Winglet equipped aircraft are:

- Maximum Zero Fuel Weight increase.

- Reduced time to climb to cruise altitude.

- Increase in range at slightly reduced speeds

- Enhanced climb gradient and OEI performance.

- Improved hot/high performance.

- Ride smoothing and stability.

- Upgraded LED navigation and anti-collision lighting.

- Ramp appeal and aircraft resale value.

Tamarack Aerospace will be exhibiting at the upcoming NBAA-BACE tradeshow in Orlando Florida, booth 1663 as well as the Citation Jet Pilots Convention in San Antonio, TX.
