June 24, 2010

Avidyne Corporation, a leading provider of integrated flight deck and safety systems for general aviation aircraft, announced another milestone in their Entegra Release 9 Integrated Flight Deck (R9) upgrade program for Piper PA-46 Meridian, Mirage, and Matrix aircraft, with the debut of the first Entegra R9-equipped Piper PA-46 Matrix at the Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association Migration (COPA M8) event last week in Dayton, Ohio.

The COPA Migration in Dayton, Ohio provided a unique opportunity for the Cirrus community to see the new R9-equipped Matrix first hand. The aircraft flew numerous demonstration flights on Thursday afternoon and all day Friday and Saturday.

"The PA-46 represents an ideal step-up airplane for the Cirrus owner looking for enhanced performance and more cabin space," said Avidyne Chief Operating Officer Patrick Herguth. "The ability to get a cabin-class PA-46 aircraft with an Avidyne R9 suite makes it an even more attractive option for the thousands of existing PA-46 and Cirrus owners who preferAvidyne's avionics design philosophy and overall ease of use."

"Avidyne's Entegra Release 9 suite is a very attractive upgrade for many of our customers who are purchasing both new and used PA-46's," said Mike Borden, of High Performance Aircraft in El Cajon, California. "We just sold two more PA-46s, a new Entegra-equipped Meridian and a Matrix, that include an Avidyne coupon which allows PA-46 customers to upgrade to the Release 9 package for only $50,000. It's a very attractive option that allows my clients to get new Piper with the next generation of Avidyne avionics."
