C&L Aviation received the UK and EASA STC approval for the upgrade of the Universal UNS-1K Series Flight Management System (FMS) for the Embraer 135/145 aircraft.
C&L Aviation Services, a C&L Aviation Group company, announced that the company has been awarded the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) from the Civil Aviation Authority, UK and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for the upgrade of its Universal UNS-1K (SCN600 or SCN800) Series Flight Management System (FMS) to the UNS-1LW (SCN1000-Series) WAAS enabled unit for the Embraer 135/145 aircraft.
C&L also provides on-site engineering, avionics support, aircraft exterior painting, and heavy maintenance services. C&L Aviation also carries one of the world’s largest inventories of ERJ parts in the company’s warehouse, which helps to reduce the maintenance times associated with these types of projects. Currently, the company is developing several other ERJ upgrades including a new seat design for the 1st-class section of the aircraft.
“We’re pleased to follow up our FAA STC certification earlier this year with EASA and UK approval. Having a viable option for European operators to upgrade their FMS systems is critical as these systems continue to evolve,” said Charlie Carroll, Avionics Sales Manager for C&L Aviation Services. “Having our own in-house engineering group allows us to dedicate resources to STC projects like this one that meets customer’s needs.”
C&L Aviation services have been providing services of modifying and upgrading the interiors and systems on the Embraer 135/145 aircraft for several years now. The company also has expertise in converting these aircraft into business-class and luxury jets. C&L Aviation Group is an FAA and EASA-approved company in servicing, maintaining, and supporting operators in the corporate and regional aviation industry. The company also offers aircraft and engine sales and leasing programs, along with parts support, heavy maintenance, interior refurbishment, aircraft teardown, disassembly services, and aircraft management. C&L is headquartered in Bangor, Maine, with international offices in Australia and Europe.
