CMC Electronics Announces Bizjet Sale Of Its New PilotView™ Electronic Flight Bag to Execaire
Avionics-Grade, Class 2 System, Designed For All Phases Of Flight
(National Business Aviation Association - October 11, 2004) CMC Electronics Inc. has been awarded a contract for two PilotView™ Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) installations from Execaire. The installations will be for an Execaire client on two Citation Encore corporate aircraft. The first installation will take place in November 2004, making this the second business jet in Canada to be outfitted with a CMC Electronics' PilotView EFB.
Mike Shaw, Avionics Manager, Execaire, was very pleased with the PilotView EFB and its avionics-grade hardware, "CMC Electronics has built a solid Class 2 EFB that our customers should find very useful in their day-to-day operations. We look forward to these Citation Encore installations, along with many more to follow."
Bruce Bailey, CMC Electronics Vice President, Commercial Aviation, said, "This first business jet sale to Execaire of our new PilotView EFB is great news for CMC Electronics. Our PilotView EFB is really in a class of its own, with features that are usually not found in a Class 2 EFB."

The former Northstar aviation sector products, including the CT-1000G Electronic Flight Bag and the M1 and M3 series GPS products, now benefit from CMC Electronics' expertise in avionics manufacturing and maintenance, and its international product support capabilities.
