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.”
