Aircraft Performance Group (APG) has proudly achieved RTCA/DO-200B certification, joining industry leaders such as Jeppesen and Garmin and marking a pivotal milestone in its commitment to aeronautical data excellence, integrity and safety.

RTCA/DO-200B, the standard for processing aeronautical data, is developed by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) and ensures the data meets certain quality and safety requirements throughout its lifecycle. Widely referenced by the FAA as part of its regulatory guidance relative to aeronautical data assurance, achieving this standard is a significant milestone for APG.

“We are thrilled to join an elite group of companies with this certification,” says Steve Podradchik, global head of navigational data. “This milestone validates our team’s dedication, expertise and unwavering commitment to deliver the highest quality data and safety to our customers.”

The company’s commercial offering of global charts, airport diagrams and instrument approach plates, created by its Seattle Avionics subsidiary, has been used by more than a dozen leading avionics manufacturers, mobile application developers and militaries for nearly two decades, including Honeywell, Aspen, Dynon and Moog Systems. This new certification expands the company’s collaboration with certified avionics manufacturers, broadening its market reach and partner base while also reinforcing its reputation for data accuracy and safety.

“Honeywell is delighted that APG has obtained the RTCA/DO-200B certification on its electronic chart product, as it’s fundamental in supporting our BendixKing product line,” says Erik Ringnes, principal certification engineer.

“It's a critical step in our business growth strategy,” adds Shawn Mechelke, president of APG. “We are excited to expand existing OEM avionics partnerships and explore exciting new opportunities in the future.”
