Transport Canada has certified Diamond‘s DA20-C1, equipped with the Aspen Avionics EFD 1000 Primary Flight Display (PFD). The DA20’s instrument layout retains the conventional Airspeed, Altitude, Turn & Bank and Vertical Speed Indicators, with the Aspen mounted in the center of the conventional 6-pack.

“The ability to teach conventional instrument scan, offer an introduction to glass cockpits, while benefiting from more reliable solid state technology, make the DA20 with Aspen a particularly flexible tool for any flight training operation,” said Peter Maurer, President of Diamond Aircraft Industries.
